The Athena 9.4 alpha release for Linux will begin shortly.  The
Solaris alpha release will take a little longer, hopefully not more
than a week.

Alpha release are not guaranteed to be safe for your machine.  Make
sure to back up any important data before taking an alpha release.

The highlights of this release are:

  * RHEL 4
  * Solaris 10
  * GNOME 2.8
  * Evolution 2.0
  * Metacity as the default window manager

Known issues:

  * Errors about accessing the midi and sequencer devices are
    displayed in the console at login time.

  * Evolution 2.0 doesn't have all of our local mods.  (It has enough
    to be functional, though.)

Please send bug reports to testers.
