STABLE Version 2017.3.28 (March 28, 2017)
Changes to NTFS-3G:
Delegated processing of special reparse points to external plugins
Allowed kernel cacheing by lowntfs-3g when not using Posix ACLs
Enabled fallback to read-only mount when the volume is hibernated
Made a full check for whether an extended attribute is allowed
Moved secaudit and usermap to ntfsprogs (now ntfssecaudit and ntfsusermap)
Enabled encoding broken UTF-16 into broken UTF-8
Autoconfigured selecting <sys/sysmacros.h> vs <sys/mkdev>
Allowed using the full library API on systems without extended attributes support
Fixed DISABLE_PLUGINS as the condition for not using plugins
Corrected validation of multi sector transfer protected records
Denied creating/removing files from $Extend
Returned the size of locale encoded target as the size of symlinks
I see in the release notes : "On Linux PulseAudio is now required to play sound". This should not be an issue for folks running Slackware 14.2 or -current, but a caveat for people wanting to use Thunderbird-52.0 on previous Slackware versions. Honestly, I didn't check if that can be changed by a build option.
See also the IMPORTANT note about how the images are now included in a compose window, among other changes.
