Patched xinitrc.kde to launch with ck-launch-session only if the DESKTOP_SESSION variable is empty. This fixes a bug where a ck-aware login manager such as KDM may have already launched a ConsoleKit session, causing the xinitrc to launch another one and marking the first one inactive. This can lead to auth failures. Thanks to Robby Workman. l/jasper-1.900.1-arm-3.tgz: Rebuilt. Fixed missing package name in the /usr/doc directory. l/liboil-0.3.16-arm-2.tgz: Rebuilt.

Added support for mounting DVDs & CD file systems, which allows you to install the packages from DVD or CDROM. However, you will not be able to boot from it because u-boot does not support this.

It's been a long time since the last stable release: we skipped 13.0 to start work on this new EABI port; and I think it's been well worth the wait! Thanks to everyone who has been involved with testing and contributing feedback for this release. Special thanks to Jim Hawkins who is often fixing build problems, and helping me tidy up behind the scenes. If you like Slackware ARM, please let us know! If you want to help fund the Slackware project, please visit the Slackware store at http://store.slackware.com Enjoy this release! Stuart Winter
