Solaris 11.3 beta: Changes to bundled software packages
With the release of Solaris 11.3 beta, I've gone back and made a new list of changes to the bundled software packages available in the Solaris IPS package repository, as I've done for the Solaris 11.1, Solaris 11.2 beta, and the Solaris 11.2 GA releases.
Oracle packages
Several bundled packages improve integration with other Oracle software. The Oracle Instant Client packages are now in the IPS repo for building software that connects to Oracle databases. MySQL 5.6 has also been added alongside the existing version 5.5 packages.
The Java runtime & developer kits for Java 7 & 8 were updated to new versions, while the Java 6 versions were removed as its support life winds down. The End of Feature Notices for Oracle Solaris 11 warns that Java 7 will be coming out as well in a later release.
Also updated was Oracle Hardware Management Pack (HMP), a set of tools that work with the ILOM, firmware, and other components in Sun/Oracle servers to configure low-level system options. HMP 2.2 was introduced in Solaris 11.2, and Solaris 11.3 now delivers HMP 2.3 packages.
Python packages
Solaris has long included and depended on Python 2. Solaris 11.3 adds Python 3 support for the first time, with the bundling of Python 3.4 and many module packages that work with it. Python 2.7 is still included, as is 2.6 for now, but Python 2 software in Solaris is almost completely switched over to 2.7 now, and Python 2.6 will be obsoleted soon.
A side effect of these changes was a revamping of the naming pattern for Python module packages in IPS - previously most modules delivered a set of packages following the pattern:
- library/python-2/<module name>
- library/python-2/<module name>-<for each Python version>
In extending this to provide Python 3 modules, it was decided to drop the python major version from the library/python-N prefix, leaving just the version at the end of the module name. Thus in Solaris 11.3, you'll see that the mako packages are now library/python/mako, library/python/mako-26, library/python/mako-27, and library/python/mako-34.
NVIDIA graphics driver packages
NVIDIA has been providing graphics driver packages for Solaris for almost a decade now. As new families and models of graphics cards are regularly introduced, they retire support for older generations from time to time in the new drivers. Support for these models is retained in a legacy driver, but that requires uninstalling the latest version and switching to a legacy branch. Previously that meant installing NVDIA's SVR4 package release instead of IPS, losing the ability to get updates with a simple “pkg update” command.
Now the legacy drivers are also available in IPS packages, which will continue to be updated as necessary for bug fixes and support for new Xorg releases during NVIDIA’s Support timeframes for Unix legacy GPU releases. To switch to the version 340 legacy driver on Solaris 11.3 or the later Solaris 11.2 SRU’s simply run:
# pkg install --reject driver/graphics/nvidia driver/graphics/nvidiaR340and then reboot into the new BE created. For the previous version 304, change the above command to end in nvidiaR304 instead.
Other packages
There are far more changes than I've covered here - fortunately, the engineers who worked on many of these changes have written their own blog posts about them for you to check out:

One more thing... Solaris 11.2 packages
While all these are available now in the Solaris 11.3 beta, many are also available for testing and evaluation on existing Solaris 11.2 systems, when you're ready to upgrade a FOSS package, but not the rest of the OS. This is planned to be an ongoing program, so once Solaris 11.3 is officially released, the evaluation packages will keep moving forward to new versions of many packages. More details are available in a Solaris FOSS blog post and an article in the Solaris 11 OTN community space.
Not all packages are available in the evaluation program though, since some depend on OS changes not in Solaris 11.2. For instance, OpenSSH is not available for Solaris 11.2, since it depends on changes to the existing SunSSH packages that allow for the ssh package mediator to choose which ssh software to use on a given system.
Detailed list of changes
This table shows most of the changes to the bundled packages between the original Solaris 11.2.0 release, the latest Solaris 11.2 support repository update (SRU11, aka 11.2.11, released June 13, 2015), and the Solaris 11.3 beta released today. These show the versions they were released with, and not later versions that may now be available via the new FOSS Evaluation Packages for existing Solaris releases.
As with last time, some were excluded for clarity, or to reduce noise and duplication. All of the bundled packages which didn’t change the version number in their packaging info are not included, even if they had updates to fix bugs, security holes, or add support for new hardware or new features of Solaris.

"The Oracle Instant Client packages are now in the IPS repo for building software that connects to Oracle databases."
Yes, but have they finally been linked with $ORIGIN?
Previous versions of the instant client libraries where unusable because they required LD_LIBRARY_PATH or crle(8) hacks, unless one edited them manually with elfedit(1). elfedit(1), however, requires DT_SUNW_STRPAD bytes for the editting of an existing library.
Without having been linked with $ORIGIN, Oracle instant client libraries are severely crippled. One should not have to resort to LD_LIBRARY_PATH hack to have them work.
Yes, as James mentioned in the linked blog at https://blogs.oracle.com/jmcp/entry/oracle_instant_client_now_available “We have also updated the runpaths in the libraries and binaries so there is no need for you to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH in a wrapper script.”
For example:
$ elfdump -d /usr/oracle/instantclient/12.1/lib/libclntsh.so | grep RUNPATH
[39] RUNPATH 0x60b60 $ORIGIN
