14..1 release might be today
 

ANNOUNCE.14_1 has been updated today.

Yeah, but that was just to fix the FF/TB version numbers. I'm not sure that it's really a sign. Besides, RELEASE_NOTES hasn't even been touched yet.

Just a guess. ;)

Dangit! I never guess it right! ;-)

Is your guess any better than the next fellows'? Since you are so sure of yourself, maybe you'd like to hazard a guess as to when it really will be ready...

I just can't wait. Converted/switched my Dell Inspiron 700m laptop from 14.0 Stable to -current...just can't wait :)
It is up runnung now. Execellent!

It's done when it's done!

Tongue-in-cheek right? :)

guys, gabytf seems to be losing it!

"Tongue-in-cheek right?" Of course!

Well, I guess it wasn't 'today', or even 'tomorrow' for that matter. Pat moves in mysterious ways.

If he doesn't hurry up though he's going to get more and more people requesting more and more new stuff be included and it'll never get released. ;)


Are we there yet? :p

I think 14.1 will be Christmas edition :D and a new logo for Lilo with Santa Claus:D

Wondering how much trouble it would be to download -current and update it with slackpkg rather than wait for the DVD... I prefer clean installs over updating/upgrading.

Sure, make your own install media based on -current as it is now and update the final few changes via slackpkg.

In fact if you don't care about any of the changes to the install media itself (e.g. UEFI support) you could just use your 14.0 install media to install -current (you don't even need to download it locally, just do a network install pointed to a nearby -current mirror).

That's just the thing - I do care about the UEFI support. I already downloaded rc1, for testing purposes, but there have been some changes since then.. or I could use Didier's new slint. I'm just hoping any moment that RELEASE_NOTES gets an update.. :)

You can just update with slackpkg in that case

Having a look at the current state of development it looks like Pat is finishing up and getting ready to release very soon.
I think it will be this month. Just my :twocents:

First thing I do every morning.

www.google.com

--> Slackware 14.1

First Result:

Slackware Linux 14.1 Beta - DistroWatch.com
distrowatch.com/8058‎
Today Patrick Volkerding declared the "Current" branch beta which means that the upcoming stable Slackware Linux 14.1 is in the final stages of development.


"Sigh"

Like everyone else... chomping at the bit to get a fresh new install going.

That doesn't work since it's at RC3 and distro watch hasn't made any mention of it. Best to view the changelog.txt file. :)

A fresh install is a good thing, but last time I had upgraded my Slack and everything was fine, I guess it will be the same on next time.
And as it is a multilibs version, I am not dying for re-installing everything.

I was actually basing it on the assumption that when it does release that it will be in the number 1 results spot. :D

From arm.slackware.com

Well, if that isn't an educated guess, but actually inside knowledge, at least it sets an upper bound.

Gotcha! :)

I was teetering on the edge of answering that, but why spoil the mystery :-)

If I'm running -current (which I am), I don't suppose it matters when 14.1 is released does it?

I promise that I'll send the exact answer by email to all those who are willing to pay 1,000,000 dollars to get it.

Email will be sent not later than one full day (24 hours) after the release.
