xap/gimp-2.6.8-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
This fixes integer overflows in the image handling plugins that could
lead to the execution of arbitrary code or an application crash if a
malicious image is loaded.
For more information, see: http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename...=CVE-2009-1570 http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename...=CVE-2009-3909

xap/mozilla-thunderbird-3.0-i686-1.txz: Upgraded.
Congrats to Mozilla Messaging on the great new Thunderbird release!
If you want it on Slackware 13.0 it's probably best to grab the sources & SlackBuild and build a package yourself.
You can always try installing the -current package on 13.0 and see what happens, but no warranties in that case...
if someone wanna try it, I built one for my slackware64-13.0s, it's here (hope i don't break any licenses, in case please tell me and I'll remove the link quickly).

Indeed, you are not allowed to re-distribute a binary build of Thunderbird or Firefox containing "official branding", i.e. like Slackware builds it, unless you have explicit permission from Mozilla Corp.
i removed the link and the file from my repo, it was easier and painless
tnx alien bob for the tip.
EDIT: trying for fun to build lightningbat without --enable-official-branding configure parameter, will post back the link
btw, having an official slack64-13.0 package will be a great thing
