The Athena 9.4.36 patch release is currently scheduled for the evening
of Monday January 29.  Changes include:

On both platforms:
  * Firefox is upgraded to version 1.5.0.9.
  * The JDK is updated to version 1.5.0.10.
  * A couple of crash bugs are fixed in jwrite and jwgc.
  * sshd should stop crashing when credentials are forwarded.
  * Evolution will use a local-disk message cache.
  * olc commands have been moved to a locker.
On Linux:
  * OpenAFS is downgraded to patched 1.4.1 as we've been seeing
    cluster machine crashes with 1.4.2.

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.
