 %changelog
+* Tue Jul  5 2022 Jerry James <loganjerry@gmail.com> - 9.6-2
+- Add workaround for symlink/directory conflict (bz 2097773)
+- Modify the jmol patch to timeout after 5 minutes.  This is a workaround for
+  recently observed jmol hangs, but is not a proper fix.
+
 * Wed Jun  1 2022 Jerry James <loganjerry@gmail.com> - 9.6-1
 - Version 9.6
 - Fix path to libSingular.so (bz 2073208)
