This is good info about what is in SP4. https://share.confex.com/share/124/webprogram/Handout/Session16418/SHARE_Seattle_2015_SLES_z_roadmap_16418.pdf
The release notes say Q3 CY 2015 although the chart in the above link looks like Q2. https://www.suse.com/releasenotes/x86_64/SUSE-SLES/11-SP4/ (Ignore the x86 in the URL - seems they include s390x too in the same doc) Given the 6 months to upgrade, i sure hope it is September and not July so we don't run into needing to complete it before the holidays and freeze periods. -----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU] On Behalf Of Dave Jones Sent: Tuesday, April 28, 2015 11:08 AM To: LINUX-390@VM.MARIST.EDU Subject: Re: [LINUX-390] Silly question about SLES Does anyone know when SLES 11 SP 4 will be released?
