# Grid Engine 5.3p2 is now ready.

Regensburg, Germany -- October 15, 2002

Grid Engine (SGE) 5.3p2 is ready. SGE 5.3p2 is a maintenance patch release which is fully compatible with SGE 5.3. This release is available as a courtesy binary distribution from Sun Microsystems at the project download page.

This patch release changes the binaries, the architecture independent files ("common" package) and the documentation ("doc" package). The updated PDF documentation set for SGE and SGEEE is provided by Sun Microsystems as a courtesy contribution for users of the Grid Engine open source software.

It is not required to update the "common" package, however if the "common" package is upgraded, the binaries must be updated as well.

Users who make a new installation of SGE need to follow the directions at the project download page.
