The versions of major components like X and \\ the kernel can be considered frozen. Anything major that we haven't done yet \\ will probably wait for the release after this next one. As Slackware 12.2 is \\ only a 0.1 version bump, we're trying to focus on making it better without \\ causing instability or losing compatibility with Slackware 12.1 wherever \\ possible. Invasive changes like the new X (that will require changes to \\ xorg.conf) and merging KDE4 should probably wait for Slackware 13.0. \\ We will call this batch Slackware 12.2 release candidate one. :-) \\ a/aaa_base-12.2.0-noarch-1.tgz: Bumped /etc/slackware-version version number \\ in preparation for a stable release, and updated the initial emails. \\ a/aaa_elflibs-12.2.0-i486-1.tgz: Updated the initial "starter" library package \\ to the latest versions in -current. ===== Packages ===== ==== Patched genpowerfail to halt the machine during a ==== * [[slackware.13.0>a/genpower-1.0.5-i486-2.tgz]] \\ power failure rather than causing it to reboot over and over. \\ Thanks to Marin Mitov for the bug report. ==== Upgraded to ntfs-3g-1.5130 ==== * [[slackware.13.0>a/ntfs-3g-1.5130-i486-1.tgz]] \\ a/pciutils-2.2.10-i486-2.tgz: Updated pci.ids. ==== Patched rc.M to start rc.wicd and ==== * [[slackware.13.0>a/sysvinit-scripts-1.2-noarch-26.tgz]] \\ rc.snmpd if those scripts are executable, and removed the reference to the \\ old rc.hplip script. Also, modifed rc.K to shut down acpid using rc.acpid. \\ Changed /proc/bus/usb mounting in rc.S to use the options from /etc/fstab if \\ there is an entry for it there (thanks to Gerardo Exequiel Pozzi). ==== Upgraded to udev-135 ==== * [[slackware.13.0>a/udev-135-i486-1.tgz]] \\ a/usbutils-0.73-i486-3.tgz: Updated usb.ids. ==== Patched rc.alsa to use [[:blank:]] instead of ==== * [[slackware.13.0>ap/alsa-utils-1.0.17-i486-2.tgz]] \\ [[:space:]] with tr, since the latter removes vertical whitespace and causes \\ everything to be incorrectly listed on one line. \\ Thanks to Ondrej Kubecka for the patch. ==== Upgraded to hal-info-20081127 ==== * [[slackware.13.0>l/hal-info-20081127-noarch-1.tgz]] ==== Upgraded to ethtool-6. Evidently this has been out ==== * [[slackware.13.0>n/ethtool-6-i486-1.tgz]] \\ for some time -- thanks to Jan Rafaj for the notice. ==== Removed the automatic DHCP timeout ==== * [[slackware.13.0>n/network-scripts-12.2-noarch-1.tgz]] \\ reduction in rc.inet1, since the kernel is not reliably returning correct \\ information about that. If the default 30 second timeout is too long, it \\ can be shortened in rc.inet1.conf. \\ Patched rc.ip_forward to reapply any non-default ipv4 parameters after \\ turning ipv4 forwarding on or off, as doing that clears them. Thanks to Mark. \\ tcl/expect-5.44.1.11-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. ==== Upgraded to tcl-8.5.5 ==== * [[slackware.13.0>tcl/tcl-8.5.5-i486-1.tgz]] ==== Upgraded to tk-8.5.5 ==== * [[slackware.13.0>tcl/tk-8.5.5-i486-1.tgz]] \\ xap/audacious-1.5.1-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled to make sure newer libraries will \\ work as expected. ==== Upgraded to brltty-3.10 ==== * [[slackware.13.0>extra/brltty/brltty-3.10-i486-1.tgz]] ==== Upgraded to inn-2.4.5 ==== * [[slackware.13.0>extra/inn/inn-2.4.5-i486-1.tgz]] ==== Added wicd-1.5.5. Thanks to Robby Workman ==== * [[slackware.13.0>extra/wicd/wicd-1.5.5-noarch-1.tgz]] ==== Rebuilt removing some unneeded kernel modules ==== * [[slackware.13.0>isolinux/initrd.img]] \\ Thanks to Stuart Winter and Eric Hameleers. * [[slackware.13.0>usb-and-pxe-installers/]] {{tag>slackware changelog slackware-13.0 2008-12}} news/2008/12/03/slackware-13.0-changelog.txt Last modified: 6 months agoby Giuseppe Di Terlizzi Log In
