3 Febbraio 2022 - Slackware 15.0
Oggi (2 febbraio alle 22:22 orario UTC) è stata finalmente rilasciata la Slackware 15.0. Vi aspettiamo nel forum per commentare. Happy fun :)
13 Gennaio 2022 - Slackware 15 RC3
Siamo arrivati alla terza, e a meno di sorprese, l'ultima Release Candidate di Slackware 15. Da ora in poi ci saranno modifiche solo in caso di problemi seri, ma tutto lascia supporre che il 17 gennaio, come anticipato da Pat su LinuxQuestions, esca la tanto sospirata versione 15. Ti aspettiamo nel forum per parlarne.
16 Agosto 2021 - Slackware 15 RC1
È uscita stanotte la prima Release Candidate di Slackware 15. Come ha scritto Pat si tratta di un "congelamento", a meno di bugfix. Questo significa che la 15.0 sarà rilasciata con i software nella versione presente in questa RC1, a meno appunto di bug trovati, o aggiornamenti di sicurezza.
15 Aprile 2021 - Slackware 15 beta
Qualche giorno fa Pat ha rilasciato un corposo aggiornamento definendolo beta. La data dell'uscita di Slackware 15 si fa sempre più vicina.

a/grub-2.14-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Reverted two upstream commits to fix grub-install with legacy BIOS:
configure: Check linker for --image-base support.
configure: Print a more helpful error if autoconf-archive is not installed.
Thanks to Petri Kaukasoina.
Even with these reverts GRUB has grown in size, and the trick it uses to hide
in the post MBR gap is a bit brittle. I'm getting this error on my only
MBR/BIOS machine that's still in use here:
grub-install: warning: You have a short MBR gap and use advanced config. Please increase post-MBR gap..
grub-install: warning: grub-core/partmap/msdos.c:pc_partition_map_embed:406:your core.img is unusually large. It won't fit in the embedding area.
grub-install: error: embedding is not possible, but this is required for cross-disk install.
With grub-2.12, grub-install worked fine on this machine.
Clearly LILO won't be going anywhere. :-)

patches/packages/libpng-1.6.54-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes security issues:
Heap buffer over-read in the libpng simplified API function
png_image_finish_read() when processing interlaced 16-bit PNGs with 8-bit
output format and non-minimal row stride.
Integer truncation in the libpng simplified write API functions
png_write_image_16bit() and png_write_image_8bit() causes heap buffer
over-read when the caller provides a negative row stride (for bottom-up
image layouts) or a stride exceeding 65535 bytes.
