The Athena 9.4.50 patch release is currently scheduled for the evening of
Monday, 17 November 2008. Changes include:
On both platforms:
* Firefox has been updated to 2.0.0.17.
* A bug in the GNOME keyboard preference dialog was fixed.
* A bug in the Kerberos libraries (which interacted poorly
with a new Solaris update) was fixed.
On Solaris:
* Miscellaneous Solaris patches applied.
On Linux:
* The proprietary ATI driver handling was updated; the driver itself
was also updated (to version 8.10) to enhance functionality on the
newer cluster Dell gx755s.
* Miscellaneous Redhat-provided system software updates.
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.
