Historical/Background information:
Note that the above list is included only for completeness' sake.
Also note that you might not want "highest numbered" version of
Performer, you want the the highest maintenance rev of your main
release (2.1.X for InfiniteReality and 2.0 otherwise). Note that
maintenance releases have been done for both 2.0 and 2.1
simultaneously.
Systems running IRIX 6.2 or later should load the performer_eoe
IRIX cd, and performer_dev from the Performer 2.0 CD. Then load
the relevant patches as described below.
The N32 and N64 libraries in Performer 2.0 are not intended for
systems running IRIX 6.1. If you require N32 or N64 functionality,
you need to upgrade to 6.2 (or above) and use 2.0.1 (or above).
No further releases of Performer are planned for IRIX 4.x or 5.x.
Performer 1.2 was shipped for both 4.0.5 and 5.2 systems. If you
are using IRIS Performer 1.2, only install that version that is
appropriate for your machine. The IRIS Performer version is
indicated by the "IRIX4" or "IRIX5" string in each product name.
IRIX4 products should only be installed on 4.0.5 systems. IRIX5
products can be installed on 5.2, 5.3, 6.0.1, and 6.1 systems.
When a choice is possible between using Performer 1.2 with IRIX 5.x
or IRIX 4.0.5, IRIX 5.x is highly preferable. IRIX 5.3 is the
current operating system release and contains many bug fixes and
enhancements utilized by IRIS Performer. IRIS Performer 1.2/IRIX4
was intended only for users who are unable to upgrade to IRIX 5.x.
