(* Security fix *) - l/mozilla-nss-3.34-i586-1.txz
Upgraded to nss-3.34 and nspr-4.17. - n/NetworkManager-1.10.0-i586-1.txz
Use the FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name) for the hostname as reported by
“hostname” with no arguments. - n/net-tools-20170208_479bb4a-i586-1.txz
Don't include hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname, nisdomainname,
or ypdomainname. These are provided by the new hostname package. - n/network-scripts-15.0-noarch-1.txz
Switch to using ip instead of ifconfig and route.
Supports create/destroy of virtual tun/tap interfaces and adding
them to bridges.
Supports additional IP addresses added to interfaces in a way
that's compatible with net-tools.
Thanks to Robby Workman. - t/texlive-2017.171108-i586-1.txz
Fixes, cleanups, and logging support in texmf_get.sh.
Support for many more languages.
More manpages and info files included.
TeX packages moved to texlive-extra (hosted on slackbuilds.org): cc-pl,
cmexb, cs, ghsystem, kerkis, pl, quran, tipa, and udesoftec.
Tex packages excluded as obsolete: aleph and its support files, and cslatex.
PDF files removed from koma-script docs.
Compiled with –disable-dump-share for better performance.
TeXLive fonts are now optionally available to other system applications
through a fontconfig file (/etc/fonts/conf.avail/09-texlive.conf).
Thanks to Johannes Schoepfer for all of these improvements. - xap/mozilla-firefox-57.0-i686-1.txz
This release contains security fixes and improvements.

(* Security fix *)
Removed
n/sendmail-8.15.2-i586-2.txz
Moved to /extra.n/sendmail-cf-8.15.2-noarch-2.txz
Moved to /extra.
Added
- a/hostname-3.18-i586-1.txz
This is the latest version of the hostname utility, broken out into a new
package to get rid of duplication between util-linux and net-tools. - n/dovecot-2.2.33.2-i586-1.txz
This will be the new IMAP/POP3 server in the next Slackware release.
Thanks to Alan Hicks, Mario Preksavec, and /dev/rob0 for assistance. - n/libmilter-8.15.2-i586-1.txz
This is a compile-time dependency of Postfix. - n/postfix-3.2.4-i586-1.txz
This will be the default MTA in the next Slackware release. Thanks to
Alan Hicks, Mario Preksavec, and /dev/rob0 for assistance. - extra/sendmail/sendmail-8.15.2-i586-2.txz
Moved here from the N series. This is still a solid choice for an MTA, and
probably the most flexible (although it can be difficult to configure - it
has been said that the M4 macro language resembles line noise).
Thanks to Eric Allman and everyone at Sendmail for all the years of work. - extra/sendmail/sendmail-cf-8.15.2-noarch-2.txz
Moved here from the N series.
Rebuilt
- a/sysvinit-scripts-2.0-noarch-39.txz
rc.M: Set the hostname returned by “hostname” with no arguments to be the
FQDN (Fully Qualified Domain Name). Technically, it should work either way
(and mostly does), but in practice there are a few things that either refuse
to work (mostly commercial software), or require additional configuration if
hostname returns the short hostname rather than the FQDN.
rc.M: If rc.sendmail is not present and executable, try rc.postfix.
rc.M: Run rc.dovecot if it is executable.
rc.*: Don't source any init scripts. - a/util-linux-2.31-i586-2.txz
Don't add hostname, domainname, dnsdomainname, nisdomainname, or ypdomainname
to the util-linux package. These are provided by the new hostname package.
Allow the eject utility to build. - ap/linuxdoc-tools-0.9.72-i586-4.txz
Upgraded to DocBook XSL Stylesheets 1.79.2. Thanks to Stuart Winter.
Applied patch to fix bus error with xsltproc. Thanks to ecd102 on LQ. - l/gtk+2-2.24.31-i586-3.txz
Added more patches from upstream git. Thanks to Robby Workman. - n/cyrus-sasl-2.1.26-i586-2.txz
Create /etc/sasl2 configuration directory. - n/inetd-1.79s-i586-10.txz
Do not run inetd (rc.inetd is now shipped non-executable), or open any ports
in inetd.conf by default. - n/wireless-tools-29-i486-10.txz
Use ip instead of ifconfig. Thanks to Robby Workman. - extra/bash-completion/bash-completion-2.7-noarch-2.txz
Applied some patches from upstream git, including one that unclobbers the
rfkill completion from util-linux. Don't clobber mount and umount
completions from util-linux. Thanks to ill323 on LQ for the heads-up.
