The man pages for several powerpc-utils executables (drmgr, lsdevinfo, lsprop, lsslot, nvsetenv, ppc64_cpu and rtas_event_decode) were not included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0. Man pages for these executables have now been added to powerpc-utils. (BZ#659664)

The man page for "ofpathname" omitted several options and contained a typographical error. These issues have been corrected. (BZ#659696)

Previously, the short version of the nvram "--verbose" flag, "-v", did not register as a valid flag. This option has been added to nvram and now works, consistent with its description in the man page. (BZ#674421)

"ofpathname" uses /usr/bin/bc, but the powerpc-utils package does not depend on bc. ofpathname now checks whether bc is installed, and requests the user install it if this package is not found. (BZ#679413)

The drmgr command incorrectly checked the "is_removable" field to determine the number of logical memory blocks available for a remove operation, even when AMS ballooning was active. Memory removal no longer relies on "is_removable" when ballooning is active. (BZ#693802)

Support for partition hibernation has been added. This allows suspension for longer than 5-10 seconds, saving partition state to persistent storage, and freeing resources in use by that partition. (BZ#632690)
