l/libpng-1.4.3-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.
  Upgraded to libpng-1.2.44 and libpng-1.4.3.
  This fixes out-of-bounds memory write bugs that could lead to crashes
  or the execution of arbitrary code, and a memory leak bug which could
  lead to application crashes.

    http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2010-2249
  (* Security fix *)
l/libtiff-3.9.4-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.
  This fixes image structure handling bugs that could lead to crashes or
  execution of arbitrary code if a specially-crafted TIFF image is loaded.

a/cups-1.4.4-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.
  Fixed a memory allocation error in texttops.
  Fixed a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) that could allow a remote
  attacker to reconfigure or disable CUPS if a CUPS admin logged into the
  web interface visited a specially-crafted website.
  Fixed a bug where uninitialized memory from the cupsd process could
  reveal sensitive information.

testing/packages/btrfs-progs-20100618-x86_64-1.txz:

ap/alsa-utils-1.0.23-x86_64-2.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Patched alsaconf to generate /etc/modprobe.d/sound.conf.
  Thanks to Alan Hicks.
kde/kdebase-workspace-4.4.3-x86_64-2.txz:  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.
n/samba-3.5.3-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.
xap/xfce-4.6.1-x86_64-9.txz:  Rebuilt.
  Patched xinitrc.xfce to launch with ck-launch-session only if the
  DESKTOP_SESSION variable is empty.  Thanks to Robby Workman.

Slackware 13.1 x86_64 stable is released!
Lots of thanks are due -- see the RELEASE_NOTES and the rest of the
ChangeLog for credits.  The ISOs are on their way to replication,
a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD.
We are taking pre-orders now at store.slackware.com, and offering
a discount if you sign up for a subscription.  Consider picking up
a copy to help support the project.  Thanks again to the Slackware
community for testing, contributing, and generally holding us to a
high level of quality.  :-)
Enjoy!
