Zephyr 2.0.3 is now available as

	athena-dist.mit.edu:pub/ATHENA/zephyr/dist/zepyr-2.0.3.tar.gz

Diffs are also available; there are a lot of diffs because I
mishandled the branching and tagging of the Zephyr 2.0 releases and
all of the RCS IDs changed in 2.0.3; the actual changes are quite
small.

This is a bugfix release.  It fixes the following bugs:

	* zmailnotify used a non-portable variable-argument function,
	  which broke on the Alpha and probably other platforms.
	* If you cancelled some of your subscriptions, they would all
	  go away instead of just the ones you asked for.
	* Little-endian clients couldn't authenticate properly.
	* Notices would sometimes show up as unauthentic even if they
	  were authentic.
	* Missing acl files were not correctly treated as being no
	  restriction.
	* Not all wildcard patterns were checked for in acls.

One known problem was not fixed: the HPUX native make does not provide
a definition of $(AR), so you have to use gmake to build Zephyr under
HPUX.  This will be fixed in 2.1.

The first beta of Zephyr 2.1 should be forthcoming within a few weeks.
It will include Interrealm support, improved server performance, and a
lot of small improvements to make life easier for administrators.
