All packages have been updated to the latest in the Slackware repositories. Other changes include removing the dual boot option, which didn't function correctly, and replacing fdisk with blkid.

"This release upgrade packages to slackware-current and brings the latest stable versions of several packages including php-5.3.5 & cups-1.4.6," the release announcement read.
