There is no release date for Slackware, It gets released when Pat and team feel its ready. On average this happens every 6 to 12 months.

Gotta like that about the Slackware team. I really how they stay true to their objectives and goals; it's such a rarity these days.

Ha-ha, it would seem that this is the case. 
If the Slackware team follows past precedent then the next version of Slackware will be 13.2. There is no pre-set release date. Patrick will release the next stable version of Slackware after it has been thoroughly tested and it meets his standards for excellence. |

Is anyone sporting enough to wager a guess on when, perhaps judging from where "current" is right now?
Note: I tend to not touch current.
