3. _C_h_a_n_g_e_s__a_n_d__A_d_d_i_t_i_o_n_s
The following are the most significant changes that have
been made between version 1.0 and 1.3 inst_dev.
+o Added tooltalk interface so RapidApp can invoke swpkg.
+o Now sharing mach table parsing routines with
inst/swmgr. New table includes marketing model names,
which swpkg displays in the Hardware Attributes section
of the Add Attributes view.
+o Introduced View->SGI Board Names menu item to show/hide
internal board names in addition to marketing names.
+o Added removeop idb attribute. Just like postops, except
executed after a file is removed. Removeops are only
executed when a subsystem is removed (not during an
upgrade.)
+o Added cutpoint idb attribute. Developer can designate a
directory as a suggested cutpoint for relocating to a
secondardy disk drive, in order to manage disk space.
See swmgr movedir command.
+o Added stripdso idb attribute. Developer can designate
dynamic shared object file be stripped of symbolic
information.
+o Added norqs idb attribute. By default, gendist adds
'needrqs' to all Elf object files. This attribute
tells gendist to leave this off. As a result, swmgr or
inst will not flag the file for requickstarting. See
rqsall(1).
+o Now checking for unfound idb entries *before* building
new items list (bolding browser entries). This avoids
bolding entries when there's no hope of successfully
adding them.
+o No longer generating bogus 'maint' records at the end
of spec files. Removed 'maint' toggle from Build
Product view.
+o Made Source Root Directory validity checking more
intelligent. Made low level routines indicate how many
entries are not found with prepend and strip
operations, so best case can be used in error
reporting. Also looking for match after resolving
symbolic links.

+o Made it possible to "Undo Last Operation" through
Source Root Directory change.
+o Now checking Description text fields for unquoted
blanks or mismatched quotes, and presenting warning
dialog. The build operation would otherwise fail with
"unrecognized product component" (cryptic gendist
message).
+o Fixed use of freed memory bug (identified by dbmalloc).
Purify caught some memory not being freed.
+o Added a "none" spec detail form for when no nodes exist
in the graph. It consists of a label telling the user
to press Add or use the File pulldown to create nodes.
Also added a dialog with a similiar message that the
user sees when Assign is pressed and a node is not
selected.
+o Added books image and userguide subsystem to default
spec graph.
+o Deallocating pixmaps that were allocated, when not all
could be allocated (and shifting to labels instead) in
creating view tab panel.
+o Added support for creating "patch products".
