OK, we're going to call this Slackware 12.1-rc1, though there is still some
more minor work to do.  Please help test!  And if we're missing anything major,
please let me know at volkerdi@slackware.com.  Thanks.  :-)
a/aaa_elflibs-12.1.0-i486-1.tgz:  Updated the initial "starter" library package
  to the latest versions in -current.
a/cups-1.3.7-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to cups-1.3.7.
  This version of CUPS fixes some buffer overflows in the GIF image filter
  and in cgiCompileSearch.  Those running CUPS servers should upgrade.

  (* Security fix *)
a/cxxlibs-6.0.9-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to libstdc++.so.6.0.9 from gcc-4.2.3.
a/mdadm-2.6.4-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to mdadm-2.6.4.
a/pciutils-2.2.10-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to pciutils-2.2.10.
a/sysvinit-2.86-i486-6.tgz:  Fixed the /sbin/initscript path to match the man
  pages.  Thanks to Michiel Broek for the patch.
ap/hplip-2.8.4-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to hplip-2.8.4.
ap/zsh-4.3.6-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to zsh-4.3.6.  Thanks to Haakon Riiser for
  alerting me to the new release.
d/gdb-6.8-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to gdb-6.8.
l/hal-0.5.10-i486-2.tgz:  Recompiled with --enable-umount-helper, which allows
  non-root users to umount hotplugged devices from the command line.
  Thanks to Robby Workman for the suggestion.
l/hal-info-20080317-noarch-1.tgz:  Upgraded to hal-info-20080317.
n/bind-9.4.2-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to bind-9.4.2.
n/wpa_supplicant-0.5.10-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to wpa_supplicant-0.5.10.
x/wqy-zenhei-font-ttf-0.5.23-noarch-1.tgz:  Upgraded to wqy-zenhei-0.5.23.
  Thanks to Eric Hameleers for noticing the new release (only linked from the
  Chinese version of the development website :-)
x/xf86-video-amd-2.7.7.7-i486-1.tgz:  Removed.  (see below)
x/xf86-video-geode-2.8.0-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to xf86-video-geode-2.8.0.
  This package has been renamed from xf86-video-amd to avoid confusion with
  other AMD video products.
x/xf86-video-intel-2.2.1-i486-1.tgz:  Reverted to xf86-video-intel-2.2.1.  We
  suspected that might be needed, given the version number and development
  status of the newer driver we tried, but gave it a try anyway.  Probably
  there will be no more driver updates at this point unless bugs are reported
  that newer drivers fix.
xap/pidgin-2.4.1-i486-1.tgz:  Upgraded to pidgin-2.4.1.
