Download and Installation

Instructions for downloading and installing Sablime v7.0u4 are available on the Sablime web site. The Installation Guide is for first-time installers of Sablime, while the Upgrade Guide is for Sablime users upgrading to v7.0u4 from an earlier version.

You can upgrade from earlier versions directly to v7.0u4 without needing to do intermediate upgrades. For UNIX*, Linux*, or v7.0 (any update level) on Windows*, your existing license file will continue to work. Users of Sablime for Windows (SFW, pre-v7.0) upgrading to Sablime v7.0u4 on Windows will need to request a new (no-cost) license.

Documentation

The following are the Guides available on the Sablime Documentation page for v7.0u4.

The web site is also the home of Sablog — the Sablime blog, containing links to the most up-to-date information, as well as links to the Known Issues, FAQ, and Helpdesk Workaround pages.

The three traditional Sablime documentation manuals are still available there for reference. These are the User's Guide, the Administrator's Guide, and the User's Reference Manual. These have not been updated since the original release of v6.1, and information in them might be superseded by the other listed documentation.

Supported Platforms

Sablime v7.0u4 runs on the many common UNIX and Linux platforms, and on Windows. Web clients can be on those machines or on Windows platform. Note that Sablime for Windows now also has the v7.0u4 release number. It is installed differently, but is functionally the same as Sablime v7.0u4 for UNIX and Linux.

Note that using Sablime from a browser on a Windows platform requires the use of the Java JRE from Oracle.

Due to hardware availability issues, the s390x version of v7.0, Update 4 will not be available immediately upon release of the other platforms. It will be along shortly. This note will be removed and a Sablog notice will be posted when it becomes available.

3) Sablime runs on HP-UX Itanium IA-64 in dynamic translation (from PA-RISC) mode.
