a/libbytesize-2.8-x86_64-1.txz:  Upgraded.
a/tar-1.34-x86_64-3.txz:  Rebuilt.
  GNU Tar through 1.34 has a one-byte out-of-bounds read that results in use
  of uninitialized memory for a conditional jump. Exploitation to change the
  flow of control has not been demonstrated. The issue occurs in from_header
  in list.c via a V7 archive in which mtime has approximately 11 whitespace
  characters.
  Thanks to marav for the heads-up.

I also find your Latest changelog for slackware-current posts useful as well.

As are gegechris99's [LATEST CHANGELOG] Slackware-15.0 posts

They help make LQ a one-stop-shop for all things Slackware

Thanks to marav and gegechris99 maintaining the threads.

p.s. and thanks to drumz and the other subscribers when they fill in from time-to-time

Those two threads are very useful to me cause sometimes the Slackware mirrors aren't updated with those changes and it allows me to know what packages are being updated.

I've enjoyed the changelog threads! Thank you!
