[Macpartners] FW: SAPgui 7.20 Rev 1 for Macintosh Release Announcement

[George V Petrowsky]

Hello,


IS&T is pleased to announce the release of SAPgui 7.20 Rev 1 for Java, for users of Macintosh computers with Intel Core 2 Duo processors. This new version, which is supported by SAP, addresses potential security issues in the SAPgui 7.10 Rev 1.2 for Java software currently deployed to the MIT community. It also provides fixes for various bugs and performance issues.



Please note: If you use SAPgui version 7 or higher for the Mac and will NOT be installing the SAPgui 7.20 Rev 1, you should install the new SAPgui 7.x Connections file. (See the link near the end of this announcement.)



Who Should Upgrade

Users with Intel-based Macintosh computers running Mac OS X 10.6 or higher should upgrade.



This release will not work on non-Intel computers, or on Intel computers that are running a version of Mac OS X below 10.6. Users of these computers should continue to use SAPgui 7.10 Rev 1.2, but should also install the SAPgui 7.x Connections file.

There are no known issues for this version that affect business functions in use at MIT.
