Our Linux-AFS stability problems appear to be resolved, and we are
able to move the release date up by a week from our earlier
prediction.  So:

The Athena 9.4 public release is currently scheduled for the evening
of Monday August 22 for Solaris and the evening of Tuesday August 23
for Linux.  Machines set AUTOUPDATE=true should take the update to 9.4
automatically.

To manually update an AUTOUPDATE=false machine to the 9.4 release
after it goes out, do a console login (^P at the xlogin prompt) as
root and run:

  SOLARIS:
    detach -a
    attach -O athena-sun4sys-94
    update_ws

  LINUX:
    update_ws 9.4

Release notes are available through the "help" command.

Please report any problems you see using the "sendbug" command.  If
you have any questions or comments, please send them to
release-team@mit.edu.
