The Athena 9.4.51 patch release is currently scheduled for the evening of
Tuesday, 13 January 2009. Changes include:
On both platforms:
* Firefox has been updated to 3.0.5. This is a major update (from the
now-unsupported 2.x) and has significant user interfaces changes and
enhancements.
* Displays will no longer inhibit screen-blanking while idle.
* Openafs has been updated to 1.4.8.
* The Java JDK has been updated to 1.5.0.17.
* Pine has a more functional default spell-checker.
* Miscellaneous vendor operating system patches have been applied.
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.
