Strictly speaking, TRs are hardware-only - things that are added to the OS to let it work with new hardware.

But IBM is putting out software changes on the same schedule - so even IBMers tend to speak of the whole thing as a TR. The schedule tends to be twice a year, and they can focus on certain functional areas maybe every other TR-time, maybe with more general items in between. Something like that, anyhow.

This way of doing fixes does have some advantages - we no longer have to wait for major releases to get new and interesting functionality. So we get new database stuff without having to wait for the 7.2 release - whatever the next one is.

At least that's what they've told us in some meetings!!

I submitted feedback (via that button) in that section of Infocenter that
if they're abandoning point releases and just using TR's then they should
document all this in there since these will not arrive on the physical
media.
