A whole slew of new SIP Patches released -- There's a number of SIP patches that were announced this morning.   Here's the relevant links:

• PHSS_28912 -- SIP 3.0 HP-UX  - (Allow GET method in form)
• PHSS_28891 -- SIP 3.1 HP-UX  - (OVIS Gauges do not show up)
• OVSIPSOL_00020 -- SIP 3.0 Solaris - (Allow GET method in form)
• OVSIPSOL_00019 -- SIP 3.1 Solaris - (OVIS Gauges do not show up)
• OVSIPNT_00019 -- SIP 3.0 WindowsNT - (Allow GET method in form)

Part of me is still slightly surprised that there's someone working on SIP for the Unix platforms.
