Website change noticed


I went to check the Changelog as is my custom and there is a change made to the oh so hard to edit website. Gonna sniff around and see what other pages are changed.

http://www.slackware.com/changelog/

"The latest happenings in Slackware development can be seen by looking at the ChangeLogs in the various distribution trees. For your bleeding edge enjoyment, we are providing the ChangeLogs for the -current development tree as well as the latest stable release on the web site. The latest ChangeLogs can always be found on ftp://ftp.slackware.com We are updating this page every hour, so they will remain fairly current. But the truly bleeding edge will want to leave an ftp session open to ftp://ftp.slackware.com and less the ChangeLog every 5 minutes. "

Good start, but it needs to be on the first, i.e., Main page.
I use a link that bypasses that page, so I don't know how long since it was changed.

LoL the 31-bit architecture - it's quite stale indeed!

Probably is a comma changed somewhere in that text?

Honestly, I do not visited this page since more than 4 years, so I do not remember precisely how it was back in those old times.

There is the web page where I look daily: https://slackware.osuosl.org/slackwa.../ChangeLog.txt

Due to the formatting of the ChangeLogs, the pages they are on do not have the nice navigation bar on the left side of the page. It's ok though. You can open the pages in new browser windows or simply use the Back button.
Not much changed.

That's actually a significant change. It creates a distinction between -current and stable. The change is subtle, but it addresses a common misconception.
