There ARE changes at the 7.10.UD1 rev.
For example:
1. The sysconstraints table is changed. There is a new constr_type for
columns which are NOT NULL.
2. The checkpoint record is changed and there is a special onmode command
to revert to a prior rev of the engine.
You should get "GUIDE TO 7.1 FEATURE ENHANCEMENTS". Part 000-7748.
This book describes many changes occuring at 7.10.UD1
