The Athena 9.3.7 patch release is scheduled for this evening, for
machines in the early cluster.  Changes include:

On both platforms:
  * xlogin now shows the IS&T logo instead of the old IS logo
  * The gnome-audio sound collection is installed
  * Mozilla lockfiles should not get left around near as often
On Linux:
  * The native xscreensaver and control-center packages are removed
  * The native units package is added
  * The native kernel, krb5-libs, and libpng packages are upgraded
  * Athena machines will run RHEL WS rather than AS
On Solaris:
  * tiffs won't crash nautilus
  * The anti-aliased font collection is updated
  * The panel clock applet works again

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.
