This a a reminder that the Athena 9.1 early release is scheduled for
the this evening. At that time, machines in the alpha, beta, and
early clusters will auto-update to the 9.1 release if they are set
AUTOUPDATE=true.
We try not to have data-destroying or severely inconveniencing bugs
during the early testing period, but there may be some glitches.
To manually update an AUTOUPDATE=false machine to the 9.1 release, do
a console login (^P at the xlogin prompt) as root and run:
SOLARIS:
detach -a
attach -O dev-sun4sys-91
update_ws
IRIX:
detach -a
attach -O dev-sgisys-91
update_ws
LINUX:
update_ws 9.1
System release notes are in
/afs/dev.mit.edu/project/relnotes/rel91.html. The biggest change is
the switch from xmh to Evolution for the default GUI mail client, and
from nmh to Pine for the recommended tty mail client. The old mail
clients are still present and supported, of course.
Please report any problems you see using the "sendbug" command. If
you have any questions or comments, please send them to
release-team@mit.edu.
