The Athena 8.1 release is scheduled to be deployed to general
workstations early in the morning of Tuesday July 22. A large number
of changes have gone into the 8.1 release; some of the most notable
ones are:
* Sun workstations will be running Solaris 2.5.1.
* The krlogind and krshd daemons are based on Kerberos 5.
* Athena version numbers are now composed of three numbers
instead of two digits and a letter. (The version number of
the first public Athena release, for instance, is expected
to be 8.1.7.)
* The default "xmkmf" command is now the vendor xmkmf.
