If your application is likely to experience any of the CRs listed above, or requires one of the new features listed in the first table, Sybase advises you to wait for the release of the 12.5.1 SDK point product. In the meantime, you may continue to run your 12.5 Open Client/Server applications from your existing Adaptive Server version 12.5 install location against the newer Adaptive Server 12.5.1 installation.
If the CRs listed above are not likely to adversely impact your applications, you may upgrade your Open Client applications to version 12.5.1. However, Sybase strongly recommends that you install the 12.5.1 SDK point product release as soon as it is available.
