The Athena 9.2.21 patch release is currently scheduled for the evening
of Monday October 13.  Changes include:

On both platforms:
  * Several OpenSSL denial of service vulnerabilities will be fixed.
  * "help" will work in tty mode.
  * The welcome file text will be updated for "help" being a web page.
  * bash will have Hesiod tilde expansion.
  * Evolution will save attachments with the proper mode.
  * The Java plugin and JRE used by Mozilla are now on local disk.
  * The tetex listings environment will work.
On Linux:
  * The openssh, openssl, perl, and sendmail-cf RPMs are upgraded to
    keep current with Red Hat.

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".

Please send any questions or comments to release-team@mit.edu.  Please
