The Athena 9.0.14 patch release is currently scheduled for the evening
of Monday August 13. Change in this patch release include:
* dash now has an option to re-enable the GNOME interface for
future logins.
* panel-wrapper will die with SIGTERM if panel does so, so
that users can kill panel without having it restart.
* The xcluster display is fixed up.
* track's -q option will suppress its startup messages, and
reactivate uses that option now.
* xlogin will set the background of all screens on a
multi-headed machine.
* Linux and Solaris machines should now syslog about root
logins.
* We have new AFS modules on all platforms to fix an RX bug.
* The gnome-help-browser default page no longer has a broken
link to the gnome user manual.
* The tooltip for the logout button on the panel is now "Log
out" instead of "Log out of GNOME".
* There are some security fixes to telnetd.
* sawfish no longer has auto-raise turned on by default; this
lets you lower the focused window.
* There is a fix to the xscreensaver man page.
* On Solaris Ultra machines, the SUNWqlc and SUNWqlcx packages
have been added to add support for the Qlogic fibre channel
device driver.
* On Solaris, patch 108576-16 has been applied to fix the
yellow-borders twm problem on Sunblades.
* On Linux, the athena-nmh RPM now provides "mh" for the sake
of some RPMs which require it.
* On Linux, sound should be fixed on GX150 machines where it
currently doesn't work.
* On Linux, a buglet in athena-ws's trigger for finger-server
has been fixed.
* On Linux, the "rvdinfo" athinfo query no longer exists.
* On Linux, some of the startup messages for athena-bind and
athena-ws have been cleaned up.
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.
