[Apologies for the late notice.  I tried to send one Monday and it
doesn't seem to have made it out.]

The Athena 9.4.27 patch release is currently scheduled for the evening
of Monday June 26.  Changes include:

On both platforms:
  * OpenAFS is upgraded to 1.4.1.
  * Gaim will behave more gracefully when the user has no tickets.
  * bash login shells started outside the user's homedir will work.
  * Firefox is updated to version 1.5.0.4.
  * Mozilla is updated to version 1.7.13.
On Linux:
  * ctrl-alt-backspace will not abort the X server on cluster machines.
On Solaris:
  * Unclean AFS cache partitions will be recreated at boot time.
  * Patches 119686-07 and 122032-01 are added to reflect DST changes.
  * Netra X1s installed at 9.2 or earlier can now update to 9.4.

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.
