This is a reminder that the Athena 8.3.15 patch release is currently
scheduled for the evening of Monday, August 9.  (The previous mail
said it would be 8.3.14; we made one further change during testing, so
the patch number got incremented again.)  Changes in this patch
release include:

	* The IRIX netscape app-defaults file is removed.

	* The detach man page and usage message no longer refer to the
	  -m flag.

	* The fsid -f option is back.

	* If a user is listed twice in the passwd file, sendbug won't
	  get confused and list multiple shell entries.

	* The doomcom.org realm was added to krb5.conf.

	* emacs won't reset mail-user-agent when you inc your mail
	  with mh-e.

	* A race condition has been fixed in inetd.

	* The krb5 pty library has been fixed to deal with 100 or more
	  logged-in users on a system at once.

	* lpr -A support is fixed, and lprm -A support is added.

	* enscript should work without a specified printer.

	* ftpd's mget handling works.

	* On IRIX, array and pmcd are turned off by the release.

	* On IRIX, iconcatalog isn't run as part of the SGI desktop.

	* On IRIX, the sound device should work again.

Please send any questions or comments to release-team@mit.edu.
