The Athena 9.4.31 patch release (9.4.32 for Linux) is currently
scheduled for the evening of Monday September 18.  Changes include:

On both platforms:
   * clean_tmp_areas will stop generating root cron mail errors.
   * Users can skip the quota warning dialogs with skip_quotawarn.
   * Text in zenity alerts will now be selectable.
   * Firefox startup time should be improved.
On Solaris:
   * A bug in the Firefox wrapper script is 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.
