a/btrfs-progs-6.12-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
a/pkgtools-15.1-noarch-19.txz: Rebuilt.
make-kernel-backup: report the creation of symlinks. Thanks to Mechanikx.
ap/mariadb-11.4.4-x86_64-5.txz: Rebuilt.
Since /etc/default/mariadb skips SSL (--skip-ssl) by default, the client side
needs to do this by default also. So we've added /etc/my.cnf.d/skip-ssl.cnf
to configure this, and have added comments in both files about what to change
in order to enable SSL for both the client and server.
Thanks to TJ09.
l/alsa-lib-1.2.13-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
[PATCH] UCM2: Intel: sof-hda-dsp: Fix handling of empty sys_vendor.
Thanks to fulalas.
l/mozjs128-128.5.1esr-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
l/pulseaudio-17.0-x86_64-5.txz: Rebuilt.
In the X11/Wayland startup files, test the configuration better to make sure
that we actually wanted autospawn before assuming we should start pulseaudio
manually because autospawn wasn't working.
Thanks to crtlaltca for the bug report.
xap/mozilla-firefox-128.5.1esr-x86_64-1.txz: Upgraded.
This is a bugfix release.

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! :-)
