From 75a4a592e5ccda30715f93563d741b83e0dcf39e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Patrick J Volkerding Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2011 13:37:00 +0000 Subject: Slackware 13.37 Mon Apr 25 13:37:00 UTC 2011 Slackware 13.37 x86_64 stable is released! Thanks to everyone who pitched in on this release: the Slackware team, the folks producing upstream code, and linuxquestions.org for providing a great forum for collaboration and testing. The ISOs are off to be replicated, a 6 CD-ROM 32-bit set and a dual-sided 32-bit/64-bit x86/x86_64 DVD. Please consider supporting the Slackware project by picking up a copy from store.slackware.com. We're taking pre-orders now, and offer a discount if you sign up for a subscription. As always, thanks to the Slackware community for testing, suggestions, and feedback. :-) Have fun! --- UPGRADE.TXT | 30 ++++++++++++++++-------------- 1 file changed, 16 insertions(+), 14 deletions(-) (limited to 'UPGRADE.TXT') diff --git a/UPGRADE.TXT b/UPGRADE.TXT index afdc3d9b7..5508e11f7 100644 --- a/UPGRADE.TXT +++ b/UPGRADE.TXT @@ -1,11 +1,11 @@ -Slackware 13.0 to 13.1 Upgrade HOWTO +Slackware 13.1 to 13.37 Upgrade HOWTO -This document explains how to upgrade from Slackware 13.0 to Slackware 13.1. +This document explains how to upgrade from Slackware 13.1 to Slackware 13.37. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -For details of important changes from Slackware 13.0 to 13.1, see the file +For details of important changes from Slackware 13.1 to 13.37, see the file 'CHANGES_AND_HINTS.TXT'.
