The nmake team issued their first official patch release in November 1999. We plan to refine our patch process and issue patches on an as needed bases between scheduled releases. This is a change from the old policy of only releasing complete packages and issuing fixes to specific customers as requested. The need for a patch release will be determined by the impact of a problem found in a general release, patches will not contain new features. We hope patches will not be an often occurrence but realisticly this will allow projects to keep their nmake installation current, and consistent with other projects in an official manor.
Installation is automated and the process backs up the files that are touched in the patch.
Patch 01 for lu3.2 addresses the following issues, for full details, instructions, and download see the lu3.2 patch 01 page . They can be found on the download page .
