In V6.0-003, GT.M:

Adds IPv6 to the previous support of IPv4 for TCP connections. SOCKET devices, replication, inbound connections managed by Internet superservers such as inetd, and the GNP protocol - all GT.M uses of TCP/IP except the deprecated "TCP" devices - use TCP over both IPv4 and IPv6. If your DNS provides both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses for the same name, you may need to add an environment variable to ensure that V6.0-003 communicates over IPv4 (for example, for replication) with older GT.M releases that do not support IPv6. Although V6.0-003 is a production release, FIS considers the functionality to support IPv6 to be field test grade functionality in a production release. Please review the description of GTM-6707 in the release notes.

Maintains $KEY for terminal operation and introduces the [NO]EMPT[ERM] device parameter for terminal devices that allows an "erase" character to terminate a READ when there are no characters in the input buffer.

Improves database throughput on AIX and Solaris.

Improves critical section management.

Improves deadlock detection.

Changes the time stamp used for prior generation journal files to make operational management easier.
