194.0. "Rumor?" by 9869::HARTSHORN () Fri Sep 08 1989 10:18


Heard a rumor yesterday, perhaps someone can verify.

When V2.0 of the BOOKREADER is released in Feb, Mar... will all books
going onto the next released disk have to be rebuilt to accommodate
V2.0?  By all books I mean even those not associated with a new 
product release.

194.1squelch that rumor right now!MARKUP::DEVRIESBy their notes ye shall know themFri Sep 08 1989 15:324
    As you found out in the BOOKREADER conference: not true.  New versions
    of the Bookreader are, and will be, backward-compatible.

  Presently CUp and SBT are reviewing the effort (time/people) needed
    to process docs (critical vs. non-critical) from V1 to V2 of the
    bookreader. We have identified 20-25 products (critical) that must
    have online documentation for V2.  This list should be coming around
    to Engineering and Writing Managers associated with those products.
    Products not on the list are being individually addressed and will
    be processed as time and people permit. 
    
    In addition, we are working on charters, product criteria, schedules,
    architectures, training, and solving problems associated with V1
    to make the enbtire online doc process easier for the future.

    RE .0 - The V2 Bookreader is being released in October, not Feb/March.

    RE .2 - Mike, you might want to cross-post that reply in the
    BULOVA::BOOKREADER conference (where .0 is also posted).

re: .3

DECwindows V2 which includes the V2 Bookreader is being submitted 
to the SSB in mid-October.  An internal only SSB kit should be available
at that time.  However, customers won't see V2 DECwindows until early
January (FRS) of next year.

    RE .5 - Oops, I guess I somehow heard "released from SSB" instead of
    "submitted to SSB."  In any case, the point is that it's being released
    before February/March...
