This is a reminder that the Athena 9.4.53 patch release, for Solaris
only, is currently scheduled for the evening of Tuesday, February 17,
2009.  Changes include:

  * The Flash player plugin has been updated.  This fixes several
    problems, including a crash of Firefox in some circumstances.
  * Firefox will work again on machines that have been newly updated
    to Athena 9.4 (or newly installed).

If you have a machine set AUTOUPDATE=false, you can update it manually
after the release goes out by doing a console login as root and
running "update_ws".

Please send any questions or comments to release-team@mit.edu.  Please
report any bugs you find with the "sendbug" command.
