  As Microsoft begins to raise awareness around the release of the next version of Windows, customers want to know whether and/or how this release will impact their own development using the Open Specifications documentation. The documentation teams are currently working to make changes to the documentation as they relate to changes in the next version of Windows. Documentation that contains these changes will be released prior to the beta release of the next version of Windows.

  This release contains updates made to protocol documents since the last release. The following new documents have been added to the document set:

  ·         Microsoft Communications Protocol Program (MCPP) Documents: MS-CIFS and MS-WFIM

  ·         Work Group Server Protocol Program (WSPP) Documents: MS-CIFS

  ·         Application Services and .NET Framework Protocols: MS-AXDS, MS-FTPS, MS-QLPB, MS-RNDIS, MS-WSPOL, and MS-WSSEC.

  Preview versions of the following new documents are located on the Preview Specifications node:

  ·         MS-DISO, MS-FSA, and MS-WSO

  The following known issues exist in the October, 2009 release:

  1. Underscore characters are not always visible in code in the PDF files depending on the magnification selected by the user. Those characters are present in printed versions.
  2. Information in a table row may split across two pages.
  3. Table borders are not always visible depending upon the magnification selected by the user. Borders are present in printed versions of the PDF.
  4. Cross-protocol links are only functional when the PDF files for the protocols are in the same folder.

  Note: Links in the PDFs don’t resolve in Adobe Reader 9 because Adobe has changed the default setting for view mode in Adobe Reader 9. To access links, perform the following procedure:

   

  1. In Adobe Reader 9, go to the Edit menu and click Preferences.

  2. In the Categories list, click Documents.

  3. Under PDF/A View Mode, change the selection from Only for PDF/A documents to Never, and click OK.

   

  Additional details on changing the setting can be located via the Adobe help site: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Acrobat/9.0/Standard/WS3E0E8467-B787-4020-A1D3-6BC762A42DF2.w.html
