   Release Announcements in 10.2g
     * [nodvtid] -
       In 10.3, support for Linux RHEL 4 will be discontinued.
       In 10.4, support for Windows XP and Windows Vista will be
       discontinued.
       [10.2d] OVL is upgraded to v2.8.1.
       [10.2d] The VHDL OSVVM (Open Source VHDL Verification Methodology)
       library, sources and documentation have been updated to version
       2014.01. Dependency checks in vopt and vsim will force
       recompilation of designs that use the osvvm library. If
       optimization is performed using vopt, the optimizer will
       automatically generate new optimized design units. Without the
       optimization step, vsim will detect dependency errors.
       [10.2] Support for Solaris SPARC and Solaris x86 has been
       discontinued. All Solaris OS platforms are not supported.
       [10.2] Support for RedHat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 3.0 and Novell

   Compatibility Issues with Release 10.2g
   _______________________________________________________________________

   General Defects Repaired in 10.2g
     * dvt78556 - When the path to the tmp directory (e.g. /tmp on linux)
       is redirected to a path that contains spaces, various errors can
       occur that are not obviously related to the tmp directory. The tmp
       directory is more commonly redirected on the Windows platform.

   User Interface Defects Repaired in 10.2g
     * dvt63651 - A drag-area zoom-in operation in the wave window would
       sometimes zoom to the wrong location. This issue has been resolved.
     * dvt68664 - Export Image for the Wave window would hang the user
       interface and the desktop. This issue has been resolved.
   _______________________________________________________________________

   VHDL Defects Repaired in 10.2g
     * dvt77275 - A Fatal error during elaboration could occur within an
       optimized vhdl process if signal valued attributes are used within
       that process. The name reported for the optimized processed will
       start #MERGED#.
