[Macpartners] MacZephyr 1.5.2 Support Announcement

[Albert Willis]

Good afternoon,
Information Systems is pleased to announce support for MacZephyr 
1.5.2, the latest version of the Macintosh client for the zephyr 
protocol, a real-time messaging and notification system used by MIT 
students, staff and faculty. MacZephyr can also be used to 
communicate with users at other institutions with a zephyr 
infrastructure.


New Features in MacZephyr 1.5.2
-------------------------------
- Runs natively on Mac OS X (10.2 or later)
- Can send a zephyr message to multiple recipients
- Open URL command for opening URLs received in zephyr messages
- Can specify fonts for the list and messages windows
- Improved support for communicating with zephyr users in other realms

For more new features, see 
http://web.mit.edu/is/help/maczephyr/features-osx.html.

Who Should Upgrade and Why
--------------------------
Users who are using MacZephyr 1.3.4 (or earlier) in Mac OS X's 
Classic environment should upgrade to MacZephyr 1.5.2, as it runs 
natively on Mac OS X 10.2 or later. Users of Mac OS X 10.1 or Mac OS 
9.2.2 (or earlier) should continue to use MacZephyr 1.3.4.

For users that are upgrading from previous versions of MacZephyr, I/S 
includes a program for converting subscription and anyone files into 
the required format for MacZephyr 1.5.2. See 
http://web.mit.edu/is/help/maczephyr/import-osx.html for more 
information.

If your department has a local computer administrator, then IS 
recommends that you consult him or her first before downloading and 
installing this new software. If your department does not have a 
local computer administrator, then IS recommends that you carefully 
review the list of new features and bug fixes and determine whether 
you would benefit from upgrading to this newer version before 
downloading and installing it.
