a/ed-1.6-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
a/etc-13.013-i486-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Get rid of broken /etc/skel/.xsession. Thanks to GazL.
a/logrotate-3.8.1-i486-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Fixed cron script to not log an error when there wasn't one.
Thanks to NoStressHQ and GazL on LQ.
a/sysvinit-scripts-2.0-noarch-4.txz
Fixed rc.S to handle /dev/root properly in cases where /etc/fstab contains CIFS volumes (and lines start with //). Thanks to John.
a/udev-182-i486-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Add another sanity check to rc.udev to warn if CONFIG_DEVTMPFS and CONFIG_DEVTMPFS_MOUNT are not enabled in the kernel.
ap/zsh-5.0.0-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
e/emacs-24.1-i486-3.txz: Rebuilt.
Don't use GConf.
l/gvfs-1.12.3-i486-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Don't restart D-Bus in the installation script. It causes errors from the installer, and is no longer needed anyway since D-Bus notices changed configuration without a reload.
Don't automount network volumes (causes a long startup delay in Thunar).
l/libpng-1.4.12-i486-1.txz: Rebuilt.
Fixed incorrect type (int copy should be png_size_t copy) in png_inflate()
(fixes CVE-2011-3045).
Revised png_set_text_2() to avoid potential memory corruption (fixes
CVE-2011-3048).
Changed "a+w" to "u+w" in Makefile.in to fix CVE-2012-3386.

(* Security fix *)
xap/network-manager-applet-0.9.4.1-i486-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Use GTK+2 for the UI, not GTK+3 (better theme matching).
xfce/xfce4-weather-plugin-0.8.0-i486-1.txz: Upgraded.
xfce/xfwm4-4.10.0-i486-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Modified xinitrc.xfce to handle system-wide .Xresources and .Xmodmap.
Launch startxfce4 using ck-launch-session and/or dbus-launch to fix problems with using XDM. This same approach should also help Thunar on other window managers. Let me know if there are any issues, as I'll likely be applying these changes to the other xinitrc files. Thanks to GazL on LQ.
extra/bash-completion/bash-completion-2.0-noarch-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Updated the slackpkg and slapt-get completions for the XFCE series.
Thanks to Igor Murzov.
