The internal search function is temporarily non-functional. The current search engine is no longer viable and we are researching alternatives.
As a stop gap measure, we are using Google's custom search engine service.

A "new release", especially when it kicks the version number is always
seen as a "big deal" in the community, just part of our makeup.
Actually, IMHO, releases are seldom big deals, notable exception perhaps
being the V3R2->V3R6 jump where we went from 48-bit CISC to 64-bit RISC.
But, actually, that was so transparent to the developer community that
it didn't even warrant a version change in the OS. Humorously, I guess
the big deal there was that it wasn't a big deal. :)
Depending on who you are, what you do and where you do it each release
has things that are a big deal to different people. Some programmers
will see the inclusion of more XML functionality in RPG as a big deal,
where operations people couldn't care less. Likewise, i5/OS on blades
and better SAN support may be a big deal to some operations people, but
is completely transparent to programmers. Etc.
A release is a big deal if it delivers something you can use, otherwise
it's just another set of CDs you need to install.
