This appendix lists the change log for each release of the
EPM software.
Changes in EPM v4.0
- New subpackage support for creating multiple dependent
packages or a combined package with selectable
subpackages, depending on the package format.
- Added support for compressing the package files in
portable packages (reduces disk space requirements on
platforms that provide gzip...)

"-m name" option.
- Added support for non-numeric %release values.

files that a package depends on.
- The setup GUI now sets the EPM_INSTALL_TYPE environment
variable to the value of the selected TYPE line in the
setup.types file.

use FreeBSD-specific extensions to pkg_create on those
variants.
- Fixed PowerPC platform support for RPM and Debian
packages.
- Many fixes to AIX package support.
- Tru64 packages with init scripts now work when
installing for the first time.

display properly.
