Slackware 8.1rc3 is released for testing...  it won't be long now.
a/devs-2.3.1-i386-9.tgz:  Added more IDE devices, and patched MAKEDEV to do
  the same.  Suggested by Greg Roelofs.
a/shadow-4.0.3-i386-3.tgz:  Patched adduser to reject uppercase in usernames
  so that you don't have to wait for useradd to reject it at the very end.
  Thanks to Stuart Winter and "xcp".
a/sysvinit-2.84-i386-17.tgz:  Edited rc.M to prevent a bogus error message
  when using a UMSDOS root partition.
d/binutils-2.12.90.0.9-i386-1.tgz:  Upgraded to binutils-2.12.90.0.9.
  Added missing /usr/include/libiberty.h.
n/lftp-2.5.4-i386-1.tgz:  Upgraded to lftp-2.5.4.
n/proftpd-1.2.5-i386-1.tgz:  Upgraded to proftpd-1.2.5.
rootdisks/install.zip:  Added a UMSDOS-based installer that might be useful
  in certain situations, such as installing with extremely low memory.
  Thanks to Rob McGee who wrote the install.zip.README.
rootdisks/network.dsk:  Fixed listing of modules with 'L'.
  Thanks to Erik Jan Tromp for sending in a fix.
rootdisks/rescue.dsk:  Added a simple one-floppy rescue disk image.
