public patch to Release 5.<br />

This chapter provides an overview of all the changes in Motif 2.1 with respect to<br />

emphasis in this release, even at the expense of compatibility with OSF/Motif 2.0.<br />

Some OSF/Motif 2.0 applications may experience problems because of the<br />

changes.<br />

The next section reviews the features most visible to a desktop end-user, the new<br />

widgets. The following sections concern the toolkit and detail the extensibility<br />

framework, new features in the toolkit, namely Uniform Transfer Model (UTM),<br />

reorganization of the menu system, as well as miscellaneous enhancements.<br />

We also describe how the UIL technology has been enhanced to support the<br />

extensibility framework and how it has become architecture-neutral with regards<br />

to the underlying operating system and computer processor.<br />

A load-only version of the Motif 1.2 libraries is shipped in the X11.motif.lib fileset.<br />

The Motif libraries shipping on <strong>AIX</strong> <strong>4.3</strong> contain the Motif 1.2 and 2.1 shared<br />
