Released Slackware 10.1 stable.

Thanks to everyone who helped out with this release, and especially to the
folks at GUS-BR and SlackSec who helped (and continue to help) with handling
security issues for the last few months, to Andreas Liebschner for keeping
the website updated and running smoothly, to Theresa Elam for all her hard
work running store.slackware.com, to the folks on alt.os.linux.slackware for
pointing out bugs and offering suggestions, to the people on ##slackware
that I met on IRC (and some again in later emails), to Justin, Kyle, and Dean
from the Linux User Group of Rochester, MN who I got to hang out with while
“vacationing” at the Mayo Clinic, to everyone who signed my online Christmas
card (one of the nicest things I ever got), and to all the kind and patient
members of the Slackware community. I hope all of you will enjoy this new
Slackware release.

Have fun!

Your Slackware Maintainer,

Pat

PS I'm looking forward to working with all of you towards the next one, too.
PPS Sorry if that was too much like an Academy Award speech. I could almost
hear that music shoving me off the stage.

• l/esound-0.2.35-i486-1.tgz

• l/gtk+2-2.6.1-i486-2.tgz
  other GTK+ apps to hang under certain circumstances.
  Thanks to Charlie Law for pointing it out.

• l/imlib-1.9.15-i486-1.tgz
  decoder overflow in the BMP handling routines which could possibly be
  exploited if a specially crafted BMP image is loaded. This seems like an
  unlikely situation, but better safe than sorry…
  (* Security fix *)
  extra/j2sdk-1.5.0_01/j2sdk-1_5_0_01-i586-1.tgz: There turned out to be just
  barely enough room in /extra on ISO 3 to squeeze the Java SDK in. It's not
  likely to fit the next time around, though, but now you're getting many
  months of advance notice instead of having the rug pulled out from under
  you at the last minute. In any event, I'll continue to include in /extra
  the script that easily allows packaging this as a tgz.
