3 Febbraio 2022 - Slackware 15.0
Oggi (2 febbraio alle 22:22 orario UTC) è stata finalmente rilasciata la Slackware 15.0. Vi aspettiamo nel forum per commentare. Happy fun :)
13 Gennaio 2022 - Slackware 15 RC3
Siamo arrivati alla terza, e a meno di sorprese, l'ultima Release Candidate di Slackware 15. Da ora in poi ci saranno modifiche solo in caso di problemi seri, ma tutto lascia supporre che il 17 gennaio, come anticipato da Pat su LinuxQuestions, esca la tanto sospirata versione 15. Ti aspettiamo nel forum per parlarne.
16 Agosto 2021 - Slackware 15 RC1
È uscita stanotte la prima Release Candidate di Slackware 15. Come ha scritto Pat si tratta di un "congelamento", a meno di bugfix. Questo significa che la 15.0 sarà rilasciata con i software nella versione presente in questa RC1, a meno appunto di bug trovati, o aggiornamenti di sicurezza.
15 Aprile 2021 - Slackware 15 beta
Qualche giorno fa Pat ha rilasciato un corposo aggiornamento definendolo beta. La data dell'uscita di Slackware 15 si fa sempre più vicina.
