An Athena patch release, likely numbered 9.4.26, is scheduled for the
evening of Monday March 27. Changes include:
On both platforms:
* Printing works from the Java framework, and in particular Matlab.
* Evolution is built with LDAP support enabled.
* A race condition is fixed in the login library.
* A utmp bug is fixed in gnome-terminal.
* sshd doesn't log failed login attempts to the console.
* Firefox updates properly de-register stale components.
* OpenAFS is updated to 1.4.1rc9.
On Linux:
* Broken AFS cache partitions will be recreated at boot time.
* esd works again (/dev/snd/* is claimed at login time).
* Many Red Hat packages are updated to keep up to date with RHEL 4.
* Disconnectable machines will start AFS at the first network-up event.
On Solaris:
* The "pc" attachandrunscript is removed (sunsoft no longer has it).
* Stale formatted man pages are removed.
* A ps2epsi attachandrunscript is added (the native one is broken).
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
