a/glibc-zoneinfo-2.7-noarch-9.tgz:  Rebuilt.
l/glibc-2.7-i486-9.tgz:  Recompiled to fix a bad sln symlink (noticed by many,
  thanks).

l/glibc-profile-2.7-i486-9.tgz:  Recompiled.
n/rsync-3.0.1-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to rsync-3.0.1.

  Last time we tried this as our main shell, it was still causing problems with
  a lot of the scripts out there, but perhaps it will be tried again in the
  next development cycle.

a/aaa_elflibs-12.1.0-i486-1.tgz:  Added libfuse.  Updated libbz2 (which still
  has the shared library name "libbz2.so.1.0.4").
a/bzip2-1.0.5-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to bzip2-1.0.5.
  Previous versions of bzip2 contained a buffer overread error that could cause
  applications linked to libbz2 to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
  For more information, see:
    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1372
  (* Security fix *)
a/cryptsetup-1.0.5-i486-3.tgz:  Make cryptsetup in /sbin and /usr/sbin both
  symlinks to /sbin/cryptsetup.static.  This prevents "cryptsetup" failure if
  someone installs only the A package series.  Thanks to Piter Punk.
ap/cdrtools-2.01.01a38-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to cdrtools-2.01.01a38.
ap/dvd+rw-tools-7.1-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to dvd+rw-tools-7.1.
ap/ghostscript-8.62-i486-4.tgz:  Fixed cidfmap for printing with the
  wqy-zenhei.ttf font.  Thanks to ABE Shin-ichi.
d/m4-1.4.11-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to m4-1.4.11.
  In addition to bugfixes and enhancements, this version of m4 also fixes two
  issues with possible security implications.  A minor security fix with the
  use of "maketemp" and "mkstemp" -- these are now quoted to prevent the
  (rather unlikely) possibility that an unquoted string could match an
  existing macro causing operations to be done on the wrong file.  Also,
  a problem with the '-F' option (introduced with version 1.4) could cause a
  core dump or possibly (with certain file names) the execution of arbitrary
  code.  For more information on these issues, see:
    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1687
    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2008-1688
  (* Security fix *)
n/iptables-1.4.0-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to iptables-1.4.0.  Thanks to giovanni
  for testing this version and suggesting it as a safe upgrade.
  On x86, explicitly set i486 compile flags (though this is the compiler's
  default anyway).  Thanks to kanedaaa.
n/network-scripts-12.1-noarch-1.tgz:  Fixed WLAN_IWPRIV[4] example generated
  by netconfig.  Thanks to Eric Hameleers for pointing it out.
n/whois-4.7.26-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to whois-4.7.26.
xap/xfce-4.4.2-i486-4.tgz:  Fixed the build script to apply a couple of bugfix
  patches correctly.  Thanks to Carlos Corbacho for the bug report.
  Fixed xfcalendar.desktop (orage) to only show in the Xfce menus.
  Thanks to Frank Duignan for prompting me to take a closer look.
isolinux/initrd.img:  Patched to fix expert mode FTP/HTTP installation, and
  to allow installation from HTTP source with port number, such as:
    http://somehost:8080
  Thanks to Dario Nicodemi for the bug report and patches, and to
  Eric Hameleers for making some adjustments to the HTTP port patch.
usb-and-pxe-installers/:  Patched to fix expert mode FTP/HTTP installation,
  and to allow installation from HTTP source with port number, such as:
    http://somehost:8080
  Thanks to Dario Nicodemi for the bug report and patches, and to
  Eric Hameleers for making some adjustments to the HTTP port patch.

d/cmake-2.4.8-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to cmake-2.4.8.
l/fribidi-0.10.9-i486-2.tgz:  Recompiled.  "left-to-right" was far too
  egregious a mistake to leave in the slack-desc.  Sorry about that.
  Thanks to Russell Whitaker for spotting this error.
x/pixman-0.10.0-i486-2.tgz:  Symlink the headers into /usr/include to
  temporarily accommodate software that isn't yet using pixman.pc to get the
  -I/usr/include/pixman-1/ include path.
xap/xine-lib-1.1.11.1-i686-2.tgz:  Patched to fix playback failure affecting
  several media formats accidentally broken in the xine-lib-1.1.11.1 release.
  Thanks to Diogo Sousa for pointing me to the new release notes on xinehq.de.

The kernels were recompiled to add the experimental CONFIG_PATA_MARVELL option,
       since some newer Intel motherboards are already using this chipset. Like
       everything else, use it at your own risk. It was decided that having some
       driver that was tested and found to work was better than no support at all.
       Thanks to David Somero for reporting the issue.

       /etc/profile.d/libglib2.{csh,sh} so that the lang.{csh,sh} scripts will run
       first, setting the $LANG variable which these scripts require.

       From the NEWS file:
       "BUG FIXES: - Fixed a potential buffer overflow in the xattr code."
       This is the security advisory, as the issue was present in -current only.
       (* Security fix *)

a/cryptsetup-1.0.5-i486-4.tgz:  Recompiled against static libgpg-error and
  got rid of --disable-libcrypt in cryptsetup.static's ./configure to prevent
  the error "Command failed: Key processing error: No hash backend found"

ap/ghostscript-8.62-i486-5.tgz: Edited /usr/share/ghostscript/8.62/lib/cidfmap
       to attempt support for Simplified Chinese (though Traditional Chinese and
       Korean will still require cidfmap changes and additional fonts).
       Thanks to ABE Shin-ichi for providing the cidfmap that the new one is based
       upon. Any errors in the new cidfmap are most likely my own...
ap/man-1.6f-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to man-1.6f. Thanks to Robby Workman.
d/cscope-15.6-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to cscope-15.6.

       path in two places within the source. Thanks to Marco Berizzi.
n/sendmail-8.14.2-i486-2.tgz: Recompiled. Fixed issues in the install script
       with properly adding the smmsp user/group. Thanks to Valentin Stoykov.
       When using SSL/TLS, disable SSLv2 by default. Fixed the line ordering in
       sendmail-slackware-tls-sasl.mc. Thanks to Strykar.
       Fixed typos at the top of example .mc files. Thanks to Bart Dumon.
       Clamp down on security in the defaults some more by requiring authentication
       when using the TLS/SASL .mc/.cf. Allow SSLv3 in both TLS configurations.
       Thanks to Leonardo Roman.
n/sendmail-cf-8.14.2-noarch-2.tgz
x/xf86-video-radeonhd-1.2.0-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to xf86-video-radeonhd-1.2.0,
       which adds support for RV620, RV635, and R680 chipsets, and 2D acceleration
       for R5xx (including RS6xx) chipsets, both XAA and EXA. This driver also
       enables the use of the second digital output on the RS690 chipset.

       Thanks to Erik Jan Tromp.

n/bind-9.4.2-i486-2.tgz:  Patched rc.bind to add a short wait after starting
  named, so that the startup script doesn't match "named <defunct>" with a
  failing startup and too quick a check.  Thanks to Luis.
  Upgraded to the latest named.root file.  Thanks to giovanni.
t/xfig-3.2.4-i486-3.tgz:  Patched to fix a wrong XFIGLIBDIR that was causing
  some minor errors.  Thanks to Dario Nicodemi for the patch.
tcl/tclx-8.4-i486-2.tgz:  Recompiled.  Since some of the Tcl/Tk headers are now
  considered "private", this needs -I flags to compile (for now).
xap/xscreensaver-5.05-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to xscreensaver-5.05.
