Following a large number of updates, the Slackware "current" tree has now become release candidate 1 (RC1) for the upcoming Slackware Linux 13.1: "We will call this update Slackware 13.1 RC1. With this, the kernel, compiler, and glibc versions are 'golden', and everything is pretty much ready to release. Last call for bug reports..." Some of the recent updates include Linux kernel 2.6.33.4, GCC 4.4.4, CUPS 1.4.3, Emacs 23.2 and GNU Diffutils 3.0. Several security and bug fixes have also been added: "Fixed Apple USB keyboard support. Added missing BCM57* firmware. Scan /dev/sr0 first when looking for CD/DVD, not the old IDE device." For a detailed list of all changes please see the full changelog. Unofficial installation DVD images of Slackware "current" (built on 11 May) are available for download from here: slackware-current-11_May_2010-DVD.iso (1,906MB, MD5), slackware64-current-11_May_2010-DVD.iso (1,840MB, MD5).
