the field.
This release will be documented separately from the 7.7 patch
General release 8.0 will probably go to test early this fall, but
exact plans have yet to be determined.
General Notes:
There will be a short period of time with root password skew, but
this is not expected to be a problem.
The SGIs will get the new Andrew software, but the rest of the Athena
platforms will not until they go to 8.x.
