   - System tools enhancements:
       * Addition of OpenIPMI userspace tools

   - Security updates, bug fixes, and feature enhancements to
      numerous system packages

   - Important: Browser re-base from Mozilla to Seamonkey

      The Mozilla Suite has been replaced by Seamonkey, the internet
      application suite from the Mozilla Foundation that includes a Web
      browser, email and newsgroup client, IRC chat client, and HTML
      editor. Users of the Mozilla Suite are advised to transition to
      Seamonkey, which offers the same application functionality and
      shares the same "Mozilla Application Suite" codebase as the legacy
      Mozilla Suite, which is no longer maintained by the Mozilla
      Foundation and subsequently will not be regularly updated for bug
      and security fixes.

      While this change has no immediate impact on users other than
      securing the long-term availability of security fixes, it
      introduces substantial changes to the Browser API and ABI.
      Therefore, applications that depend on those APIs (for example,
      browser plugins) may need to be upgraded as well. Current Firefox
      plugins will work with the Seamonkey Navigator Web browser.
