Slackware 14.0 RC1 has been announced as of today by Pat and it contains a lot of bug fixes that comes from many reports from users since Beta release. Please test them and report it here if you find new or regressions after applying the update.
Here's the latest -Current ChangeLog

Good hello, and happy Thursday! Mercury went direct early yesterday morning,
and it was like the bugs started to fix themselves. It's almost enough to get
me believing in that hocus-pocus nonsense! So, here's a bunch of updates that
fix all of the reported issues in the beta, and we'll call this the 14.0
release candidate 1. Still some updates needed for the top-level
documentation files, but we're clearly in the home stretch now (finally).
Test away, and report any remaining bugs!

l/boost-1.49.0-i486-3.txz: Rebuilt.
Linked against icu4c. The built script was also upgraded to account for
changes in the way boost is configured, and to only build the parts needed.
Thanks to Heinz Wiesinger.
l/glib2-2.32.4-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
l/gnome-keyring-3.4.1-i486-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Fixed improper password/passphrase caching.
For more information, see:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=681081http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename...=CVE-2012-3466
(* Security fix *)
l/gtk+3-3.4.4-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
l/polkit-0.105-i486-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Added default policy files for udisks2 and NetworkManager events. These
along with GazL's xinitrc/startup script improvements seem to prevent
ConsoleKit, PolicyKit, and D-Bus from being stupid most of the time.
GazL's fix _should_ have been enough, but you know what they say about
the difference between theory and practice. :-) The NetworkManager .pkla
file seems to be needed anyway to allow users in the netdev group to
modify network settings without being bothered to enter the root password.
Thanks much to Chess Griffin.
l/qt-4.8.2-i486-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Patched libQtWebKit.la and QtWebKit.pc to remove a false dependency on
libwebcore.a, which is used internally at build time.
Thanks to Fridrich von Stauffenberg and Eric Hameleers.
l/raptor2-2.0.8-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
Thanks to Heinz Wiesinger.
l/vte-0.28.2-i486-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Patched to fix high CPU usage that can be triggered by escape sequences.
Thanks to Mancha.
n/ModemManager-0.5.2.0-i486-1.txz
n/network-scripts-14.00-noarch-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Patched rc.inet1 to handle slightly changed ifconfig output.
Thanks to Darrell Anderson.
n/openssl-1.0.1c-i486-3.txz: Rebuilt.
Patched the certwatch script to quit warning about expired certificates
in /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt. The script was intended to warn
when your personal certificates are about to expire, but it trips over
this one that bundles the CA certs. Thanks to ponce.
n/php-5.4.5-i486-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Added support for intl module.
Thanks to Heinz Wiesinger.
n/wireless-tools-29-i486-7.txz: Rebuilt.
Don't use the directory /sys/class/netdev_name/wireless/ directory to
detect wireless cards in rc.wireless as it depends on
CONFIG_WIRELESS_EXT_SYSFS=y in the kernel, which is deprecated and will
be removed in future kernels. Perhaps this was the cause of some of the
reports of non-functional wireless interfaces?
Thanks to Konrad Rzepecki.
x/x11-skel-7.7-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
In xwmconfig, write a $HOME/.xsession in addition to $HOME/.xinitrc,
allowing users to choose a default window manager when using XDM.
Thanks to GazL.
x/xterm-281-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
Thanks to Robby Workman.
xap/blackbox-0.70.1-i486-7.txz: Rebuilt.
Created a new startup script "startblackbox" called from xinitrc.blackbox
to allow running dbus-launch within ck-session-launch. This fixes Thunar
device mounting without breaking XDM. Thanks much to GazL!
xap/fluxbox-1.3.2-i486-4.txz: Rebuilt.
Start dbus-launch in startfluxbox. Thanks to GazL.
xap/fvwm-2.6.5-i486-4.txz: Rebuilt.
Created a new startup script "startfvwm2" called from xinitrc.fvwm2 to allow
running dbus-launch within ck-session-launch. Thanks to GazL.
xfce/xfce4-weather-plugin-0.8.1-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
extra/linux-3.2.26-nosmp-sdk/*: Rebuilt.
extra/wicd/wicd-1.7.2.4-i486-4.txz: Rebuilt.
Fixed some slightly incorrect permissions.
isolinux/initrd.img: Rebuilt.
Upgraded to Linux kernel 3.2.26.
Replaced gptfdisk utilities with the rebuilt versions.
Added MMC support to /sbin/probe. Thanks to David Spencer.
usb-and-pxe-installers/usbboot.img: Rebuilt.
Upgraded to Linux kernel 3.2.26.
Replaced gptfdisk utilities with the rebuilt versions.
Added MMC support to /sbin/probe. Thanks to David Spencer.
