  The following Version 3.8.1 issues will be addresseed:
  
  ID: 29492
  Problem: The information about configuration checkpoint files
  does not state that an upgrade removes these files.
  
  Resolution: Updated the documentation to state that an upgrade
  deletes these files. This problem affects all previously
  published versions.
  
  ------------------
  
  ID: 29500
  Problem: The information about Coded Character Set Identifier
  (CCSI) that the remote MQ queue manager converts output data is
  vague.
  
  Resolution: Updated the documentation to include a pointer
  to the
  http://www.ibm.com/software/globalization/ccsid/ccsid_registered
  .jsp
  web site. This problem affects all previously published versions
  that support this feature.
  
  ------------------
  
  ID: 29504
  Problem: In information about the "current" value of the Browse
  query parameter of the MQ url-open extension element used the
  word "last". This word could be confused with the terminal
  message in queue.
  
  Resolution: Updated the documentation of this value to state
  that the "current" value is the message the the url-open just
  read. This problem affects all previously published versions
  that support this feature.
