The Athena 9.2.27 patch release is currently scheduled for the evening
of Tuesday January 20.  Changes include:

On both platforms:
  * Mozilla is updated to 1.5.
  * A new program, mailusage, shows mail folder usage.
  * The sawfish capplet should work again.
  * The mozilla lock dialog should work for people using the Crux theme.
  * ssh should work against the OSX sshd.

On Linux:
  * The wget RPM and some native GNOME 1 RPMs are added to the release.
  * The kernel, glibc, XFree86, iproute, postgresql, and rsync RPMs
    are updated to keep current with Red Hat 9.

On Solaris:
  * pkg-config should work again.
  * ifhp should work again.
  * The SUNWmdu package is now installed locally.
  * gnome-terminal should be faster in some circumstances.
  * Some rather old machines should have an easier time sending mail.

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
report any bugs you find with the "sendbug" command.
