Slackware 13.0slackware-13.0

Wed Aug 26 10:00:38 CDT 2009
Slackware 13.0 x86_64 is released as stable!  Thanks to everyone who
helped make this release possible -- see the RELEASE_NOTES for the
credits.  The ISOs are off to the replicator.  This time it will be a
6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD.
We're taking pre-orders now at store.slackware.com.  Please consider
picking up a copy to help support the project.  Once again, thanks to
the entire Slackware community for all the help testing and fixing
things and offering suggestions during this development cycle.
As always, have fun and enjoy!  -P.

++
++  If you prefer to use the "old" way of configuring keyboards (without HAL's
++  input device hotplugging), then you'll need to add the following lines to
++  the ServerFlags section of /etc/X11/xorg.conf:
++    Option   "AllowEmptyInput"     "false"
++    Option   "AutoAddDevices"      "false"
++    Option   "AutoEnableDevices"   "false"
++  You can now edit the Keyboard section of xorg.conf as usual.

+
+    work aroud crash caused by LED device handling
+
+    During suspend led device is removed; during resume it is recreated.
+    Apparently removing led device cause hald-addon- leds to exit
+    (thus disconnecting D-Bus connection); and sometimes next "add" event
+    comes too early, before hald had chance to notice missing addon.
+
+    Adds extra check to hald_singleton_device_added() to ensure we do not
+    abort on disconnected D-Bus connection.

+    fix udi: replace '/' in the last part of the udi
+    
+    Fixed udi handling. DBus forbids a '/' after the base path
+    (in case of HAL: '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/) of a DBus
+    path. Replace all not allowed chars in the last part of the
+    UDI (everything but _a-zA-Z0-9) with a '_'.
+    
+    This fixes also fd.o#16040.

+# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
+# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description.  Line
+# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
+# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in.  You must
+# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct.  It's also
+# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

+hal: hal (The HAL Hardware Abstraction Layer)
+hal:
+hal: HAL is a piece of software that provides a view of the various
+hal: hardware attached to a system.  HAL keeps detailed metadata for each
+hal: piece of hardware and provides hooks so that system and desktop
+hal: software can react to changes in the hardware configuration (such as
+hal: the insertion of a DVD, or a USB flash memory stick).  Users in the
+hal: "plugdev" or "cdrom" group will be able to use such devices on the
+hal: desktop without the need to mount/umount them manually.
