ISV Engineering is happy to announce the release of the latest version of our Solaris Preflight Checker tool supporting Solaris 11.2. which is now available for download.

The Solaris Preflight Checker enables a developer to determine the Oracle Solaris 11.2 readiness of an application by analyzing a working application on Oracle Solaris 10. A successful check with this tool will be a strong indicator that an application will run unmodified on the latest Oracle Solaris 11.

This release includes:

Updated symbol database which will help migration from Solaris 10 to Solaris 11.2
Kernel binary and source scanners that now detects, usage of "data structures" changed between Solaris 10 and Solaris 11.2
An application analyzer, which looks for usage of specific Solaris features and recommends better ways of implementing the same on Solaris 11.2 e.g. suitability of high performance libraries shipped with Solaris, crypto offload for Java & C based applications, etc.
And bug fixes
