a/pkgtools-12.0.0-noarch-4.tgz:  Fixed htmlview, making it a short script
  rather than a symlink (which doesn't always work).
  Thanks to Sander de Leeuw for the report and fix.
kde/kvpnc-0.8.9-i486-1.tgz:  Removed.  The reports were that this wasn't
  working (though some said that earlier versions never included in
  Slackware did).  So, it's been deemed not quite stable enough for the
  stable release.  We'll look at it again for next time.
l/gd-2.0.35-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to gd-2.0.35.
  This fixes a few possible security issues:
     * Possible infinite loop in the PNG reader
     * Possible integer overflow in gdImageCreateTrueColor
     * Possible crash in gdImageCreateXbm
     * Numerous flaws in the GIF reader
  (* Security fix *)
l/gmime-2.2.9-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to gmime-2.2.9.
n/pssh-1.3.1-noarch-1.tgz:  Added pssh-1.3.1, python scripts to run openssh
  tools in parallel.  Thanks to Jan Rafaj for the build script.  Normally I
  wouldn't add things in late RC, but for Jan I'll make an exception.  :-)
n/samba-3.0.25b-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to samba-3.0.25b.
x/xf86-video-savage-2.1.2-i486-2.tgz:  Committed upstream patch to fix a crash
  of the savage_drv.so driver when respawned.  Thanks to Michael Wagner.
isolinux/initrd.img:  Added parted-1.8.7 tools.
kernels/speakup.s/:  Backed up speakup to CVS 2007-03-03 and recompiled.
  I'm hoping this fixes a DecTalk Express problem.
  Thanks to Stephen C. Greeley for all the help debugging this.
usb-and-pxe-installers/:  Added parted-1.8.7 tools.

This might as well be called 12.0 RC2 so that we're not accused on skimping on
release candidates.  ;-)  Still going through various reports, and (especially)
looking into getting the php.ini defaults reasonable (as well as figuring out
which features can be safely built as extensions).  But, we're getting there.
a/aaa_elflibs-12.0.0-i486-3.tgz:  Fixed a bad link in the install script.  I
  think the first-boot ldconfig would fix it anyway, but we like things clean
  around here.  Thanks to Robert Boucher for noticing this.
a/pkgtools-12.0.0-noarch-3.tgz:  Added an installer script to make a
  /usr/bin/htmlview symlink if one does not already exist (programs in
  Slackware are starting to expect htmlview, which is not yet a standard but
  seems to be becoming an ad-hoc one...)  So, adding it probably won't hurt
  too much, other than possibly stinging other distributions that haven't yet
  added this by encouraging its use.  Shame on us.  ;-)
  Thanks to Nikos Skalkotos for pointing out that CUPS uses this script,
  alias, symlink -- whatever the local implementation...
a/udev-111-i486-4.tgz:  Make the restart option more through.  Thanks to
  Andrea Zulato for reporting that stop/start was needed to load rule changes,
  and to Piter Punk for fixing rc.udev.
a/util-linux-2.12r-i486-6.tgz:  Patched a problem where umounting by UUID
  would cause umount to segfault for non-root users.  Thanks to Diogo R
  for the pointer to a patch at http://bugs.archlinux.org/task/7211.
  Evidently this has already been reported upstream.
d/binutils-2.17.50.0.17-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to binutils-2.17.50.0.17.
  Thanks to Giacomo Lozito for reporting that this was released and seems to
  be fixing problems with 'ld' segfaulting.
d/oprofile-0.9.2-i486-5.tgz:  Recompiled against new (binutils) libbfd.
kde/k3b-1.0.2-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to k3b-1.0.2.
kdei/k3b-i18n-1.0.2-noarch-1.tgz:  Upgraded to k3b-i18n-1.0.2.
l/pilot-link-0.12.2-i486-4.tgz:  Fixed a bug in pilot-link.m4.
  Thanks to Michael Stenzel for the bug report and a link to a patch.
xap/xchat-2.8.2-i486-2.tgz:  Recompiled with official patch.  Thanks to Tsomi.
extra/intel-wlan-ipw3945:  Added a few missing bits and rearranged the tree
  a bit.  Thanks to Gabriel Linder for noticing that the kernel module
  happens to work with the ieee80211 stack already in our kernel.  That makes
  getting this to work quite a bit easier.  :-)
isolinux/initrd.img:  Updated with fixed umount.
pasture/:  Flushed devfsd and ipchains.  Thanks to Cal Peake.
usb-and-pxe-installers/:  Updated with fixed umount.
usb-and-pxe-installers/etherboot/:  Various fixes and docs improvements.
  Thanks to Erik Jan Tromp.
