Open Object Rexx Release Notes Version 4.1.3 Copyright 2005-2013 Rexx Language Association. All rights reserved. July 2013 Note ==== ooRexx 4.1.3 is a bug fix only release. There are no new features or enhancements in this release. Fixed bugs are listed in the CHANGES document. File List ========= Linux rpm and deb packages contain the distribution name and version of the system they were built on. For instance: ooRexx-4.1.3.opensuse1110.x86_64.rpm was built on OpenSuSE 11.10. All package names contain an indication if the package is built as a 32-bit or 64-bit binary. Usually this indicator is x86_32 or x86_64. For a 32-bit binary, these indicators are sometimes used: i386, i586, etc.. Pick the package closest to the system you intend to install on. If the package is not an exact match and will not install, or the interpreter will not run because of a conflict with the C / C++ libraries, it may be possible to get one of the developers to build a package for your system by opening up a support request in the tracker system. Note that developer resources are constrained and this is neither a commitment nor a promise. _Readme.pdf Installation help and other relevant notes that should be read prior to installation. _Readme.html The same text as _Readme.pdf in HTML format.

Installation and Configuration ============================== Prior to Installation: ---------------------- Important: An "upgrade" type of installation is neither tested nor supported on any platform. Please completely uninstall a prior version of ooRexx before installing a new version. Installing over the top of an existing installation is likely to produce unpredictable results. Note: On Windows only, the installer will detect a previous installation and launch the uninstalltion program automatically. The uninstall program will completely uninstall the previous version of ooRexx and then return control to the installer. For installation help and other relevant notes, prior to installation, please read the "_ReadMe.pdf" PDF file which is placed with the downloadable files for this release on SourceForge. A Note on Linux packages: ------------------------- The generically named rpm packages should install on any modern distribution that uses RPM as a package manager. Likewise, the generically named deb packages will install on any modern debian-based systems. When it is known that the generic package has problems on a distribution, the ooRexx team may build an additional package for that specific distribution. In which case, the installation package will have the targeted distribution in its file name. Please use the generically named rpm and deb packages. If there is a problem on your distribution, report it by opening up a Tracker bug. Depending on resources, the ooRexx team may be able to build a specific package for that distribution. Changes in ooRexx 4.1.3 ================================= All platforms: ============== This is a bug fix only release. Bug fixes are listed in the CHANGES document.
