I have five SR10.3 tapes sitting in my cubicle, distributed by Mentor
Graphics. We recieved them with other Mentor 7.0 re-release yesterday. I
expect one node in our network will be up in 10.3 sometime today.

CC6.8, or whatever the new name is, is not here yet. From the release notes
it seems this is going to be a real ANSI compiler.

There're some goodies in 10.3, such as shut_lock file preventing any user to
shut down a node. Also as mentioned by others before, increased number of
processes.
