On this page I try to give the most complete overview possible of all versions of Slackware ever released, since the first 1.0 up to -current. All information on this page has been extracted from official sources, like the ChangeLogs from the original versions I own.
Whenever I found the ChangeLog for a version, I included a link on the release date, so that you can check what was
changed in that particular version.
I also created a search page to find specific texts within the ChangeLogs.
This can be very useful to map the history of a certain package.
If you find any inaccurate data and have sources that can reliably contest my research, feel free to get in touch with me.
