This release of SDL Hyperion includes preliminary <i><u>experimental</u></i>

support for the z/Architecture "Transactional-Execution Facility" (bits 73

and 50).

This support is known to be incomplete and not 100% functional yet (it still
85+
has some problems, especially under SIE), so it is still considered to be

<i><u>highly experimental</u></i> at this stage. It seems to work well enough
87+
to allow certain guest operating systems requiring it (such
88+
as z/OS 2.4 for example) to successfully IPL and run though.

Because it is still considered to be experimental and under active development
91+
however, it is not enabled by default. Therefore users wishing to take advantage
92+
of it must first manually enable it in their Hercules configuration file via the
93+
following two <a href="https://sdl-hercules-390.github.io/html/hercconf.html#FACILITY"><code>FACILITY</code></a>

Only when the feature has been fully completed and thoroughly test however,
100+
will it then be enabled by default. For the time being however, since it is
101+
still under active development and considered to be experimental, it must be
102+
manually enabled as described above.

describing the problem along with all supporting documentation. Thank you!
