This is a reminder that the Athena 9.3.12 patch release (9.3.14 for
Solaris) is currently scheduled for the evening of Tuesday September
7.  Changes include:

On both platforms:
  * The recent krb5 vulnerabilities are fixed.
  * The krb5 ftpd is fixed to work with some clients.
  * Additional Asian anti-aliased fonts are installed.
  * The default GNOME viewer for Word files is ooffice (was soffice).
  * authwatch is more proactive about disappearing upon renewal.

On Linux:
  * The krb5-libs and qt RPMs are updated from Red Hat.

On Solaris:
  * Some libpng security issues are fixed.
  * Some Xft (font rendering library) bugs are fixed.

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.
