The Athena 8.3.18 patch release is currently scheduled for the evening
of Monday, October 18. Changes in this patch release include:
* detach will exit with an error status when it fails.
* xss will display the idle time in a less ambiguous manner.
* detach -H works now.
* Some workarounds have been applied so that SGI machines
which hang during reactivate will be less likely to need a
reinstall.
* If you su with no options, /usr/athena/bin/passwd will
default to operating on the user you have su'd to rather
than the user you were.
* On Solaris, dm will run console with the -nosession flag so
that it doesn't get included in session management.
* show will handle message/rfc822 MIME messages better.
Please send questions or comments to release-team@mit.edu.
