 <p>
-The default device on unix-oriented builds has temporarily switched to 
-the <tt>bbox</tt> device, and is not the <tt>x11</tt> device as in the 
-past. The means that running gs from the commandline with no options 
-will no longer display a file. Specify -sDEVICE=x11alpha instead. The 
-change is a side effect of the X11 modularization patch, and will
-be remedied in a future release.
+The default device on unix-oriented builds was temporarily switched to 
+the <tt>bbox</tt> device in the 8.60 release. In the 8.61 release, the
+default was changed again to the <tt>x11alpha</tt> device, if X11 
+support is available, and otherwise falls back to the <tt>bbox</tt> device.
