This release contains security fixes and improvements.
A potentially exploitable crash in TransportSecurityInfo used for SSL
can be triggered by data stored in the local cache in the user profile
directory. This issue is only exploitable in combination with another
vulnerability allowing an attacker to write data into the local cache
or from locally installed malware. This issue also triggers a
non-exploitable startup crash for users switching between the Nightly
and Release versions of Firefox if the same profile is used.

Even KDE4 has migrated away from actually using this for anything. The last
thing in Slackware that was dependent on it was Soprano, which has been
recompiled to no longer use it.

Rebuilt to drop libssp dependency. We're no longer building that with gcc
since glibc already includes a built-in SSP implementation.

Shared library .so-version bump.
This is taken from the gcc-8-branch of the svn repo on 20180626, revision
r262159. All packages have been tested for build failures and all new FTBFS
issues are fixed - I think we're down to the six possibly obsolete X drivers
(geode, r128, s3virge, savage, sis, and tseng) and virtuoso-ose.

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! :-)
