What's New in Solaris 7 Chapter 1. The following key features are the highlights of this release. Table 1-1 overviews these new features and Chapter 2 provides details on each feature. UFS logging increases file system reliability by preventing file systems from becoming inconsistent, and it reduces the time to reboot a system after it crashes.
LDAP protocol improves managing name databases.
The Java TM Developer Kit for Solaris significantly improves scalability and performance for Java applications. Dynamic reconfiguration allows the service provider to add or remove and replace hot-pluggable system boards in a running system, eliminating the time lost in rebooting. The AnswerBook2 TM server can run on top of an existing web server, such as Sun TM WebServer TM . It does not require an additional web server running on your system solely for AnswerBook2 support. Unicode locales include six new UTF-8 locales, and the Unicode locales have been enhanced with multiscript capabilities so that users can input and display text from different writing scripts.
