Fixed issues
This update fixes an issue listed below.
- You can update an individual or a set of packages to accommodate the libcurl version update. There is no need to update the complete list of packages if the original installation includes those as individual packages and not as a part of the group package. (Ref# J2939279)
Known issues
This update contains the known issue listed below. Not all items are bugs.
- If you installed an experimental version of 7.1 Multimedia and then disabled Install experimental packages in the Installation
Properties dialog, the QNX Software Center won't let you install the 7.1
Multimedia Update for libcurl. Instead, it will display an error saying some
required items could not be found. (Ref# J2812561)
Workaround: If you've installed experimental packages, leave Install experimental packages enabled.
