    Hi all,

    Once again, thanks to the efforts of many developers, testers, and
    users, we are pleased to announce the minor release
    of ACE 6.4.0 and TAO 2.4.0 which is available from the usual
    download location at:

    http://download.dre.vanderbilt.edu/

    under the heading "Latest Release".

    Or from the github release page at:

    https://github.com/DOCGroup/ACE_TAO/releases/tag/ACE%2BTAO-6_4_0

    The doxygen documentation for this release is also available. In
    addition to the packages combined of sources and generate makefiles,
    this release provides source-only packages for developers who use MPC to generate their own makefiles.

    We encourage you to download the new release, use it with your
    applications, and let us know if you encounter any problems. Please use the:

    $ACE_ROOT/PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM
    $MPC_ROOT/PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM
    $TAO_ROOT/PROBLEM-REPORT-FORM

    so that we have the proper version/platform/compiler/options you're
    using to report problems. We also request that you take a look at:

    $TAO_ROOT/docs/releasenotes/

    for the status of various ongoing projects at the DOC group of
    Vanderbilt to move ACE and TAO forward. Overviews of our recent
    progress and upcoming plans are available at:

    $ACE_ROOT/NEWS
    $TAO_ROOT/NEWS

    The overall success rates for the test results gathered from all our

    Of course once again ACE+TAO no longer compiles on SPARC with Solaris Studio Compilers. I guess you've decided it's no longer worth supporting with Solaris Studio. Someone needs to remove the reference to supporting Solaris Studio 12.4 in the
    documentation. Although 12.5 is now released.
