What’s New in This Release<br />
The user interface of <strong>SDM</strong>-<strong>DesignTracker</strong> is enhanced with menu changes and many<br />
new options and functions to support Integrated File System (IFS) management,<br />
object revision tracking, and release management processing.<br />
Release management functionality consists of two feature sets, release control and<br />
release deployment. Release control provides new and enhanced software versioning<br />
and release capabilities. Release deployment is a new feature that allows software<br />
vendors and those who develop software with version control, the facility to<br />
distribute software changes to remote customers.<br />
For information about using release control, see “Using Release Control” in Chapter<br />
5. For more information about the optional release deployment feature, see the<br />
Release Management <strong>User</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>, or contact your <strong>MKS</strong> Account Manager at (800)<br />

New Options on the Main Menu<br />
New options on the main menu include software packaging and distribution facilities<br />
for release deployment. The new options include:<br />
Option 9, Work with Packages<br />
Option 10, Work with Deliveries<br />

A package is the physical software deliverable that is sent to a customer system. A<br />
package can contain a collection of software items, and optionally, associated reports<br />
and auto-executable installation instructions for a specific product, version, and<br />
release.<br />
Option 9, Work with Packages, displays the To product version and release, and the<br />
From product version and release for each package. It also identifies whether a<br />
