IBM Informix Team is attending users request by releasing more often patch versions of their Informix Server. Just a couple of weeks after the regular fixpack 12.10.xC7 IBM launches 12.10.xC7W1. Traditionally, “W” releases are out for strong reasons like security issues, fixing big issues or because there are a large number of users requesting one fix.
In last 2016 IIUG Conference, Informix representatives outlined a plan to release Informix produts more frequently. In this case, it seams there are not big issues to fix, so Informix is just fulfilling its promise.
Next, you’ll get the list of fixes included in this “W1” release:
