We're going to call this set of updates RC2. There are still README files to be handled (that's the nature of documentation, I guess), as well as some other things remaining on the TODO list, but X seems pretty stable now, and it seems like a release soon would be in order so that we can march right back into development territory with -current again soon. Enjoy, and let us know about any problems you run into!" Find more information in the changelog. Slackware Linux 13.0 RC2 comes with Linux kernel 2.6.29.6, GCC 4.3.3, X.Org Server 1.6.3 and KDE 4.2.4. As always, there are no official ISO images to download, but those interested in helping with last-minute testing can get these unofficial installation DVDs and upgrade to RC2 with slackpkg: slackware-current-04_Aug_2009-DVD.iso (1,743MB, MD5), slackware64-current-04_Aug_2009-DVD.iso (1,678MB, MD5). |
