That's okay; I hadn't told anyone. :)

I think there are some minor chanegs we don't have, and yeah, people
keep worrying about the security holes we patched because of the
version number.

I'll be happy to change the release notes if we do.

Keen, noted.

Whoops, I meant to run that paragraph by the release team explicitly.
It now reads (with the email address corrected):
The print spooling software in the Athena release has been
replaced with LPRng. Backwards compatibility for both
server-side and client-side programs has been incorporated
into LPRng, so users should not notice much of a difference.
The configuration of an LPRng print server is different than
for the old Athena spooling software. Athena Server
Operations (ops@mit.edu) will provide help with the conversion
of print servers currently using the Athena print spooling
software.
Other problems fixed. I seem to type a lot of characters backwards on
this keyboard for some reason, so there are probably more typos.
