Has anyone used the new HATS 9.5 upgrade that became available in November? Here's the product page: http://www-03.ibm.com/software/products/en/rhats. What are your thoughts on this upgrade? Anything you've found useful?

I've used it briefly.  The most significant enhancements are:

1. Inclusion in the VME GUI the addition of many features that once could only be done via Source code modification. 
2. Support for Liberty profile.  I'm looking forward to working with this

Nothing of any consequence in the area of new functionality.

Many of the real valuable upgrades are in exposing new API features into the wizards, such as the new screen recognition criteria. However, the very fact that you now have a field that shows cursor positioning within the screen capture is worth the upgrade! I also highly recommend and upgrade so that you can deploy to Liberty. WAS Liberty is such a pleasure to work it. It starts faster than Tomcat, is easy to configure, and even easier to bundle and deploy.
