Huge batch of updates available for Slint 15.0, more translations of the News welcome.
by Didier Spaier from LinuxQuestions.org on (#6NQ5D)
Hello,
as I do not see Slackware 15.1 on he horizon I will provide a new intermediate ISO for Slint 15.0.
To prepare it and make sure the transition will be smooth for already installed systems I have uploaded a huge batch of updates two days ago. I really mean huge, more than 200 packages new or upgraded. No issue reported so far from users having typed "slapt-get --upgrade" since, the time needed to perform the upgrade, which includes new kernel and kernel-firmware packages, python 3.11 and friends alongside python 3.9 to allow updating the Orca screen reader to version 46.1
I have posted a summary of the changes in the news and the gory details are listed in the ChangeLog. The news are also available in French, in Portuguese and in Swedish, thanks Hugo and Ingemar. Translations in other languages welcome!
I attach pictures of the new default appearance of the MATE desktop, with the Compiz window manager and the Emerald Overglossed theme, and of the new LXQt desktop, thanks to Willy and Frank for the build scripts.
