a/grub-2.12-x86_64-15.txz: Rebuilt.
In /etc/default/grub, eliminate the GRUB_DISABLE_KERNEL_SYMLINKS="true"
option, replacing it with GRUB_DISPLAY_KERNEL_FILETYPES=both. This may
be set to "symlinks" (only show kernel symlinks in the menu), "files"
(only show kernel files in the menu), or "both" to show both.
Thanks to 0XBF.
In /etc/default/grub, add a new option GRUB_INITRD_FALLBACK_NAME=initrd.gz.
This defines the name of an initrd that will match to any kernel if a
better match wasn't found first. This option will be commented out by
default.
When the defaults in /etc/default/grub are left alone, the behavior of the
10_linux script is identical to the unmodified one.

Enjoy your shiny new vmlinuz-6.9.11-generic!
Thanks again to LuckyCyborg for teaching me about the path of least resistance.

Added update-grub script. Thanks to LuckyCyborg.
Also add grub-update symlink.
Disable the submenus. Thanks to LuckyCyborg.

Support kernel symlinks/files named vmlinu[xz]-generic, vmlinu[xz]-custom,
and vmlinu[xz]-huge. Thanks to Petri Kaukasoina.
Enabled os-prober again. It works here, and (at least with lilo) we've always
been friendly to dual-booting. It's easy to disable if you don't like it.
Sorry to LuckyCyborg. ;-)

We'll still rotate /var/log/ntp if we see it, though.

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! :-)
