kde/plasma-workspace-5.22.5-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Patched to fix USB storage devices detected only once per session.
Thanks to ctrlaltca.
n/NetworkManager-1.32.10-x86_64-4.txz: Rebuilt.
Patched to shut down dhcpcd gracefully, and restored dhcpcd as the default
client when using NetworkManager on Slackware. In this case I'll swim
upstream if it means better security. Who knows what your DHCP server might
attempt when it comes to public WiFi? :-)
Thanks to Roy Marples and marav.

n/NetworkManager-1.32.10-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
Switch to dhcp=internal to avoid problems swimming upstream.
For those looking for a fix to continue using dhcpcd, a PRIVSEP build
variable was added to the SlackBuild, and you may produce a fully
NetworkManager compatible dhcpcd package with this command:
PRIVSEP=no ./dhcpcd.SlackBuild
Privilege separation remains the dhcpcd package default as we don't want
to weaken security for those using rc.inet1 along with dhcpcd.
Some additional comments about this were added to 00-dhcp-client.conf
mentioning this and the workaround of killing dhcpcd manually when
resuming with the stock dhcpcd package.
n/bind-9.16.21-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
Fixed call to rndc-confgen in the install script.
Make /etc/rndc.key owned by named:named.
Run named as named:named by default (configurable in /etc/default/named).
rc.bind: chown /run/named and /var/named to configured user:group.
Thanks to Ressy for prompting this cleanup. :)
n/curl-7.79.0-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes security issues:
clear the leftovers pointer when sending succeeds.
do not ignore --ssl-reqd.
reject STARTTLS server response pipelining.

Slackware 14.2 x86_64 stable is released!
The long development cycle (the Linux community has lately been living in
"interesting times", as they say) is finally behind us, and we're proud to
announce the release of Slackware 14.2. The new release brings many updates
and modern tools, has switched from udev to eudev (no systemd), and adds
well over a hundred new packages to the system. Thanks to the team, the
upstream developers, the dedicated Slackware community, and everyone else
who pitched in to help make this release a reality.
The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided
32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. Please consider supporting the Slackware
project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com. We're taking
pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription.
Have fun! :-)
