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 SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLES) 9 has been discontinued.

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#.
