Re: [orca-list] The new testing ISO pre Slint64-14.2.1.2 is now available.



Hello Chris,

What matters is not the age of a library but the age of the software
that you will actually use.

For instance all accessibility software in Slint are more recent than
in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS (bionic) and even than in Ubuntu 18.10 (cosmic).

Other examples: Slint ships lios 3, all Ubuntu version only 2.7.

But feel free to list the package for which you nee a very
recent version and I will tell you what you get in Slint

Best,

Didier

I know this distro is based apparently on Slackware, but compared to Ubuntu, how up to date are things 
here? I hear though don't have verification of this, that Slackware uses very very old libraries, etc. I'd 
be very willing to try Slint, but I just want to make sure the packages are up to date, and not using old 
legacy stuff.

Hello,

Visit http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-testing/
especially:
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-testing/README-14.2.1.2
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-testing/README.testing

What's new? As mentioned in the ChangeLog:
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-testing/ChangeLog

- The installer should now better handle speech and sound cards probing.
- New kernel, version 4.19.24, in the installer as in the installed
   system.
- New feature of the installer: it can now auto-partition a device if
   dedicated to Slint.
- Updated and enhanced documentation, in this website as in the
   installed system.

The documentation in:
http://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-testing/doc/ has been
expanded and is also available in the installed system.

The sighted can click on the Slint Dashboard => Information and
all users just type in a console or a terminal:
slint-doc
to access the documentation through a ncurses menu.

There shouldn't be much changes in the definitive ISO, but translation
of the yet in English only new texts in the installer and possibly a few
packages upgrades, unless tests show issues that should be fixed.

I will make available to the translators the new messages to translate
tomorrow.

Please test and report your findings, preferably in the mailing list:
http://slint.fr/mailman/listinfo/slint_slint.fr

Best,

Didier
