No formal release date yet. However, we've had the first release candidate a while back and KDE has been updated a lot. I would hazard a guess that we're closer to 15.0.
Only the inner circle of Slackware knows when it's happening. I would guess weeks or a few months.

This is nothing but pure speculation, but once we get KDE 5.23, then all I can image is left is whether Pat wants to hold out for the next LTS kernel or just release and upgrade the kernel till it hits LTS like he mentioned a few months back. Either way I can't imagine a scenario where we don't get 15.0 by years end.

Sometime before the day after next.

It is written on a sign in front of the barber shop: "tomorrow we shave for free". Tomorrow, this sign will still be there.

In pt-BR, not a translation but same idea: "Fiado só amanhã"

Are we waiting for the kernel 5.15? Would be a nice advertisement.

Normally we should land on an LTS
which will hopefully be the next 5.15.

Until 15.0, I'm still fooling myself with ... rolling release distribution.

I've read my tea leaves (awkward using teabags), read the Tarot, gazed into my crystal balls, and inspected the entrails of various animals (2 & 4 legged)...and I haven't a clue. Sorry.

Slackware 15.0 ("Don't be hasty" edition)
Pat must be having the release notes translated into Old-Entish.
