News item - GNU Mach 1.3 release.

[Alfred M. Szmidt]

Hi,

Yeah, I know, I'm even faster than Roland right now, but at-least it
will be done by the time he uploads the tar-ball (which will probably
be by the time my mail gets to gnu.org). :)

+make only necessary bug fixes or trivial enhancements in the 1.x line,
+and make further 1.x releases only as necessary for those purposes.
+New development efforts have been underway for some time on a new version
+of GNU Mach using the <A HREF="http://www.cs.utah.edu/flux/oskit/";>OSKit</A> 
from the University of Utah for hardware
+support.  Those efforts previously called OSKit-Mach are now working
