Great care has been taken with HP-UX 11i to maintain binary compatibility* with HP-UX 11i v2 features. Existing application binaries* will continue to execute without modification on HP-UX 11i v3 using legacy feature sets. Rest assured that the thousands of applications written for HP-UX 11i v2 just work on v3, through binary compatibility ensured by quality operating system engineering.
Further, HP-UX 11i v3 delivers significantly higher operating system performance on average than HP-UX 11i v2. Again, it just works! - software recompilation is not required to enjoy these performance enhancements. Results vary according to the nature of an application and its relationship to the performance enhancements.
