"Hey folks! It's been a long time, but as usual we had to get everything just exactly perfect, and you just can't rush that. We are very happy to announce the availability of the new Slackware 15.0 stable release. There have been way too many changes to even begin to cover them here, but for our dedicated user base suffice to say that you'll find things modern but also familiar. We've gone with the 5.15.19 Linux kernel (part of the 5.15.x kernel series that will be getting long-term support from the kernel developers). You'll also enjoy a refreshed desktop experience including the KDE Plasma 25th Anniversary Edition with support for Wayland sessions."

"After a long development cycle (including many betas and release candidates to get everything just exactly perfect) we're pleased to announce the availability of the new stable release. You'll find updates throughout the system, with the latest development tools and recent versions of applications, window managers, desktop environments, and utilities. The Linux kernel is updated to version 4.4.14 (part of the 4.4.x kernel series that will be getting long-term support from the kernel developers). We've brought together the best of these and other modern components and worked our magic on them. If you've used Slackware before, you'll find the system feels like home."

Congratulations and a heartfelt thanks to the Slackware Team and all the contributors and testers!

Yes, it is that time again! After well over a year of planning,
development, and testing, the Slackware Linux Project is proud to
announce the latest stable release of the longest running distribution
of the Linux operating system, Slackware version 14.1!

We are sure you'll enjoy the many improvements. We've done our best
to bring the latest technology to Slackware while still maintaining the
stability and security that you have come to expect. Slackware is well
known for its simplicity and the fact that we try to bring software to
you in the condition that the authors intended.

Since Alien Bob is a bit busy, here is a reminder that he has a new Steam package ready on his repository, to wit:

You can get a Steamclient 1.0.0.39 package for Slackware 14 and -current here:

Thank you, Eric!

This update contains small changes according to the release notes: "Updated bootstrap files with proxy envvar parsing fixes". I also packaged the udev rule file for the steam controller (when will that go on sale?) just to be complete, I think it is rather useless on Slackware but whatever.

NOTE: if you are running 64-bit Slackware, you are requried to install my multilib packages:

• http://docs.slackware.com/slackware:multilib (documentation)
