This is a reminder that the Athena 9.1.18 patch release is currently
scheduled for the evening of Monday November 18. Changes include:
* dsgrep will use egrep-style regexps, as it is documented to.
* GConf has been modified to work better in our environment; this
allows nautilus sessions on two separate machines to work.
* The local-netscape script will work independently of the caller's
umask.
* A crash bug has been fixed in evolution.
* A crash bug has been fixed in gdk-pixbuf's bmp renderer.
* A crash bug has been fixed in grecord.
* A configuration bug has been fixed in the Evolution and Nautilus
handling of sound files through grecord.
* An unused and problematic OpenAFS rx protocol feature has been
removed.
* Two OpenAFS server crash bugs have been fixed.
* pine should be able to display URLs now.
* All but two xscreensaver modules (coral and cynosure) have been
disabled by default, to resolve issues with the screensaver
freezing the X server on Solaris.
* kpasswd (and by extension passwd) will use the krb5
password-changing protocol.
* krb5 kpasswd
* lprng and empty PRINTER
* On Linux, the initial CellServDB has been updated, saving a
timeout during installs.
* On Linux, the cpp, gcc, glibc, kernel, libstdc++, modutils, and
xinetd RPMs will be updated to keep current with Red Hat 7.3.
* On Solaris, a crash bug has been fixed in OpenAFS.
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".
