THE PURPOSE OF THIS RELEASE
This is the second maintenance release for CDE and Motif 2.1.
It was designed to resolve as many defects as possible from the
project's defect database. This maintenance release resolves 423
problem reports against CDE and Motif 2.1.10.
The Open Group encourages the reporting of all bugs found in CDE
and Motif regardless of the platform or hardware configuration in
which the bug is found. However, The Open Group will commit to
accept (and repair according to priority) only those bugs that can
be replicated on the current reference configurations.
DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIIONS
This section describes how to unload the release archives
available at this ftp site, including information about how much
disk space is required.
The CDE/Motif 2.1.20 release is provided as compressed tar archives.
README-2.1.20 - this file
cde.tar.Z - a compressed tar file of the
CDE 2.1.20 source code
cde-test.tar.Z - a compressed tar file of the
CDE 2.1.20 tests
cde-test-misc.tar.Z - a compressed tar file of
test results for CDE/Motif 2.1.20
motif.tar.Z - a compressed tar file of the
MOTIF 2.1.20 source code
motif-test-misc.tar.Z - a compressed tar file of
test results for Motif 2.1.20
The CDE/Motif 2.1.20 release is in the form of a sparse tree; that
is, it contains only files that have been modified in either CDE or
Motif since the 2.1.10 release. If you are a CDE licensee you will
receive files for both CDE and Motif. If you are a Motif-only
licensee you will receive files just for Motif.
After ftp-ing the files to your machine, you should first uncompress
the compressed (*.Z) files with the command:
uncompress <filename>.Z
Once the tar archives have been uncompressed, you can untar each
with the command:
tar xvf <filename>.tar
This command will preserve the .tar file while unloading its contents
into your current working directory. If you wish to list a table of
contents of the tar file before actually unloading it you can do so
with the command:
tar tvf <filename>.tar
INSTALLING THIS RELEASE
This release is made up of a "sparse tree" of files that have changed
since release 2.1.10. The new versions of the files should replace the
corresponding CDE or Motif 2.1.10 versions of the files in your source
tree.
After the release is unloaded, you can use, for example, cp -R command
to copy the sources from the current directory into your source tree.
This release creates several new files. If you are using a symbolic
link tree, you will need to create new links for them.
Please see the Release Notes from 2.1 for instructions on building
a full release tree.
IMPORTANT CHANGES IN THIS RELEASE
Defect Repair
This patch release resolves 423 problem reports against CDE and
Motif 2.1.10. Each of these defects were resolved in one of three
ways: fixed (problem was recreated and repaired), duplicate
(problem was already reported and recorded in defect database),
or cancelled (problem could not be recreated in current code
base). The breakdown by component and resolution type is:
FIXED: Total 298
CDE Code: 193 Motif Code: 68
CDE Doc: 1 Motif Doc: 0
CDE Test: 32 Motif Test: 4
-------------- ---------------
Total: 226 Total: 72
DUPLICATE: Total 42
CDE Code: 19 Motif Code: 11
CDE Doc: 0 Motif Doc: 0
CDE Test: 11 Motif Test: 1
-------------- ---------------
Total: 30 Total: 12

CDE Code: 35 Motif Code: 22
CDE Doc: 0 Motif Doc: 1
CDE Test: 20 Motif Test: 5
-------------- ---------------
Total: 55 Total: 28
For more information on the bugs resolved, see the file
CLOSEDBUGS in this release.
Test Improvements
Several changes were made for CDE 2.1.20 to streamline the
automated testing process. Included are necessary fixes in
order to significantly improve test performance times, as well
as to eliminate test hangs.
Specific fixes include
CDExc23856 deiconify tests have logic backwards
This was a legacy bug in QATS that caused many tests to hang when
doing an iconify/deiconify combination in order to force expose
events
CDExc23824 DtAction tests take extremely long to complete
Since X events were being processed once every thirty seconds, test
performance has been improved from overnight to twenty minutes
CDExc23843 dtpad tests need speeding up on the printing delays
When outputting characters to the screen dtpad was incorrectly
sleeping for one half second between each one. The performance
of this suite has improved from twelve hours to five hours.
BUG LISTS
In the release archive there are two files, OPENBUGS and
CLOSEDBUGS, which contain, respectively, the list of all bugs
from any version of CDE or Motif not yet closed, and all bugs
from CDE or Motif fixed in this patch release.
BUILDING MOTIF FOR YOUR SYSTEM
Since X11 is NOT being delivered as part of this release, there
are some minor changes in the build process for Motif with respect
to the build process described in the 2.1 Release Notes.
Replace step 2 under the Building Motif subsection of Section 3:
2. If you are building with imports (the default setup in site.def),
construct the necessary links as follows:
% cd $CDEBUILDDIR/motif
% mkdir -p imports/x11
% cd imports/x11
% ln -s <X11_bin_directory> bin
% ln -s <X11_includes_directory> includes
% ln -s <X11_libs_directory> libs
REFERENCE PLATFORMS
The Open Group has used a number of platforms during the
development of the 2.1.20 release. However, the following
reference platforms are the only ones where the complete
test cycle was run. Test results appear below.
CDE and Motif:
HP9000/7xx running HP-UX 10.20
Sun SPARCstation running Solaris 2.4
using the SC 4.0 C compiler and SC 4.1 C++ compilers
Changes to X11R6.4:
CDE and Motif 2.1.20 have been built and tested upon a base of
X11R6.4 patchlevel 3. During the development of 2.1.20, a
significant defect in the I18N code of X was discovered. The
symptom is that when XMODIFIERS is not set, there is a possibility
of memory corruption. It is recommended that the following patch
be applied:

TEST RESULTS SUMMARY
Since this is a general availability release, it has undergone
the full quality assurance cycle. The cycle includes running the
following test suites:
QATS - Motif Quality Assurance Test Suite
VSM 4.1 - Motif Validation Suite
CDE Regression Tests
The results of these test runs can be found in the release
archive under cde-test-misc/reports/cde-2.1.20. Note that the
the journal files (.prt) and other output results generated by
QATS have been included for the first time.
