Solaris 10 1/06 released

The end of 2005 was a busy time for releases! Just before the Sun end-of-year break, we released Solaris 10 1/06 (the first major update to Solaris 10).. This release contains fixes for some 36 accessibility bugs in the core accessibility libraries and the assistive technologies. Still more accessibility bug fixes in individual applications like Mozilla and Evolution - and numerous keyboard navigation and theme bug fixes. The key core accessibility bug fixes are contained 5 patches (among the many patches that make up Update 1 to Solaris 10) - the same 5 patches fix the same 36 bugs in both SPARC and x86 versions:

In addition you'll likely want to patch Mozilla and Evolution for improved keyboard navigation, theming, and assistive technology support:

  • 119115-14 – Mozilla 1.7 patch

  • 119117-10 – Evolution 1.4.6 patch

However, it is probably easiest (and recommended) to simply upgrade to Solaris 10 1/06 to have all of the latest accessibility bits, not to mention the other updates to the rest of Solaris 10. (2006-01-03 00:29:37.0) Permalink
