Summer 1995 Release Features
The Summer 1995 Release focuses on stabilizing the existing base across all
platforms. As a part of that, there will not be any major changes in the existing base,
although bug fixes, consolidation of libraries, and similar "clean up" efforts will be
made.
The major effort will go into developing a stable source tree and recompiling the
complete tree on all platforms.
This is Release 8.0A on all platforms in the summer. The major revision number
indicates that this consists of programs compiled and verified as part of the Athena
source tree. It does not indicate that there are significant new features.
