The Athena 9.1.16 patch release is currently scheduled for the evening
of Monday September 23. Changes include:
* On Linux and Solaris, Mozilla will now be the default browser for
the panel launcher, for htmlview, for informational items in
menus, and for URLs clicked in Evolution. Mozilla will also be
synchronized nightly to local disk along with Netscape.
* kpasswd's error-handling has been fixed.
* On Linux, the lprng RPM has been adjusted so that printing works
in the Linux appletviewer.
* The openssh installation has been adjusted to avoid hanging on
stale NFS mounts under Solaris and IRIX.
* The xcluster map has been updated.
* compile_et has been changed slightly for compatibility with krb5's
version.
* Some buffer overflows are fixed in the Zephyr library.
* xscreensaver is more careful not to leave X server resources
locked.
* On IRIX, patch 4606 has been applied to get the latest version of
InsightII to work.
* On Solaris, "write" should work again.
* On Solaris, an AFS bug affecting files with negative timestamps
has been fixed.
* On Solaris and Linux, a recursive find through a user's homedir
should work again. (The error returned by looking at
OldFiles/OldFiles has been adjusted.)
* On Linux, the zwgc man page is fixed for readability under groff.
* On Linux, ispell has been added, since the native ispell was
actually aspell, which is not compatible.
* On Linux, most Athena RPMs for third-party packages have been
given "Provides" declarations for the native package name, which
should help with installation of Red Hat and third-party GNOME
application RPMs and similar packages.
* On Linux, the glibc, kernel, libpng, and openssl RPMs were
upgraded to keep current with Red Hat 7.3.
* On Linux, the pilot-sync, pilot-sync-devel, and gnome-pilot RPMs
were added, by request.
If you have a machine set AUTOUPDATE=false, you can update it manually
after the release goes out by doing a console login as root and
running "update_ws".
