= 1.6.x =

== Solaris one-group id PAGs ==

After further review of gerrit 12525, the consensus was it would not impact
ancient versions of linux (2.4), so the stack to support one-group id PAGs on
solaris were accepted for 1.6.20.2.

== Oracle Developer Studio 12.5 support ==

This patch was backported to 1.6.x by Stephan and was updated to avoid changing
compiler optimization options on very old versions of solaris, which was deemed
an unnecessary change in the stable series. Accepted for 1.6.20.2.
