1. Topic:

New netscape packages for version 4.72 are available.

2. Relevant releases/architectures:

Red Hat Linux 5.2 – i386
Red Hat Linux 6.0 – i386 sparc
Red Hat Linux 6.1 – i386 sparc

3. Problem description:

New netscape packages are available.

These packages upgrade the version of netscape to 4.72 (on
Intel), allow 128-bit SSL encryption (on Intel) and add support for
Japanese, German French, and Spanish localization.

Note: the Sparc packages are still version 4.51 of Netscape;
therefore 128-bit encryption is not enabled.
