Announcing IBM i 7.4 TR2 and 7.3 TR8
Steve Will previews the contents of the latest IBM i Technology Refresh.
It’s Tuesday, April 14, 2020, and it’s announce day again. There are other things going on in the world, so you might not have time to read this on April 14, but that’s no issue—it will be here whenever you get around to it.
As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, the IBM i team has been busily working (mostly in home offices) to finalize the latest set of enhancements to the OS and its related deliverables. Today, I’m here to give you an overview of the announcements, and to point you to other important information.
As usual, the IBM i development team made updates to the IBM i pages, which describe the announcements in more detail if needed. The links for those are:
The big-picture IBM i Roadmap looks the same as it did when 7.4 was announced (because we don’t list all the TRs) but you can see we continue to deliver new function twice a year, and we deliver it on the two most recent releases. That means we have new capabilities in both 7.4 and 7.3.
