Dear Synopsys Customer:

This change in the release schedule does not affect the support or the status of the Sun SPARC Solaris platform as a Platinum Platform. The Galaxy™ Design Platform and Discovery™ Verification Platform will still continue to be released on this operating system. Critical updates will not be affected and will still be released as scheduled.
