Versions 1.0 (1984) Support for the HP Integral PC (embedded ROM version)basic kernel runs from ROM other commands are disk based. 2.0 (1987) First release for series 800. There may have been a different 2.x version for series 200 at an earlier date. 3.x (1988) Series 600/800 only. Note: 2.x/3.x (for series 600/800) were developed in parallel with 5.x/6.x (for series 200/300/400), so, e.g., 3.x was really contemporary with 6.x. The two lines were united at 7.x (with different minor numbers for different series), so that series 800 jumped from 3.1 to 7.0 and series 300 from 6.5 to 7.01. 5.0 (1985) Updated and renamed HP-UX 1.0 for the HP Integral PC. Supported series 200, 300 and 500. 6.x (1988) Support for 300 series only. Introduced sockets from 4.3BSD. This version (together with 3.x) also introduced a feature of context dependent files (CDF), a method of allowing a fileserver to serve different configurations and binaries (and even architectures) to different client machines in a heterogeneous environment. A directory containing such files had its suid bit set and was made hidden from both ordinary and root processes under normal use. Such a scheme was sometimes exploited by hackers to hide exploits.[3] CDF's and the CDF filesystem were dropped with release 10.0. 7.x (1990) Support for 300/400, 600/700 (in 7.03) /800 HP systems.[4] Provided OSF/Motif. 8.x (January 1991) Support for 300/400 600/700/800 HP systems.[4] Shared libraries introduced. 9.x (July 1992) 9.00, 9.02, 9.04 (s600/s800), 9.01, 9.03, 9.05, 9.07 (s300/s400/s700), 9.08 (s700), 9.09 (s700), 9.09+ (s700), 9.10 (s300/s400 only). These provided support for the series 300, 700 and 800 HP systems. Introduced SAM.The Logical Volume Manager (LVM) was presented at 9.00 for s800 as a replacement for the older methods of disk management. The easiest was to determine the platform that a version of HP-UX 9.x would run on was by the last digit. Even numbers ran on servers, odd numbers ran on workstations. 10.0 (1995) This major release saw a convergence of the operating system between the series 700 (workstation) and series 800 (server) systems. (The OS no longer supported the older series.) There was also a significant change in the layout in the system files and directories, based on the AT&T SVR4 UNIX standard. Applications were removed from /usr and moved under /opt; startup configuration files were placed under /etc/rc.config.d; users were moved to /home from /users. Software for HP-UX was now packaged, shipped, installed, and removed via the Software Distributor (SD) tools. LVM was made available for s700, too. 10.01 (1995) 10.02 (1995) 10.03 (1996) 10.08 (1996) 10.09 (1996) 10.10 (1996) 10.16 (1996) 10.20 (1996) This release included support for PA-RISC processors that support PA2.0, in
