own package as it is in Slackware x86.

before a plugin is considered non-responsive.

a/cups-1.4.4-arm-1.tgz: Upgraded.

web interface visited a specially-crafted website.
Fixed a bug where uninitialized memory from the cupsd process could
reveal sensitive information.
For more information, see:
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-0540
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-0542
http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-1748
(* Security fix *)
ap/ghostscript-8.71-arm-3.tgz: Rebuilt.

(* Security fix *)
xap/mozilla-thunderbird-3.1-armv5t-1.tgz: Upgraded.
(* Security fix *)
Thunderbird 3.1 now only builds for a minimum target of ARMv5, so this

kde/kdebase-workspace-4.4.3-arm-2.tgz: Rebuilt.
Patched xinitrc.kde to launch with ck-launch-session only if the
DESKTOP_SESSION variable is empty. This fixes a bug where a ck-aware
login manager such as KDM may have already launched a ConsoleKit
session, causing the xinitrc to launch another one and marking the
first one inactive. This can lead to auth failures.
Thanks to Robby Workman.
l/jasper-1.900.1-arm-3.tgz: Rebuilt.
Fixed missing package name in the /usr/doc directory.
l/liboil-0.3.16-arm-2.tgz: Rebuilt.
Fixed missing package name in the /usr/doc directory.
n/samba-3.5.3-arm-1.tgz: Upgraded.
tcl/tk-8.5.8-arm-2.tgz: Rebuilt.
Fixed directory permissions. Thanks to Markus Rinne for the report.
x/scim-tables-0.5.9-arm-2.tgz: Rebuilt.
Fixed missing package name in the /usr/doc directory.
Thanks to Peter Wang for the reports about the missing package names in /usr/doc.
xap/xfce-4.6.1-arm-4.tgz: Rebuilt.
Patched xinitrc.xfce to launch with ck-launch-session only if the
DESKTOP_SESSION variable is empty. Thanks to Robby Workman.
isolinux/*: Rebuilt.
Added support for mounting DVDs & CD file systems, which allows you to install
the packages from DVD or CDROM. However, you will not be able to boot from it
because u-boot does not support this. Whilst we don't ship DVD ISOs, you can
visit the URL below for instructions to create your own.

Slackware ARM v13.1 is released!
It's been a long time since the last stable release: we skipped 13.0 to start
work on this new EABI port; and I think it's been well worth the wait!
Thanks to everyone who has been involved with testing and contributing feedback
for this release. Special thanks to Jim Hawkins who is often fixing build
problems, and helping me tidy up behind the scenes.
If you like Slackware ARM, please let us know! If you want to help fund the
Slackware project, please visit the Slackware store at
http://store.slackware.com
Enjoy this release!
Stuart Winter
