Hi all,

Today's updates of Slint packages are listed on top of:
https://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-14.2.1/ChangeLog.txt
I won't list here the 37 entries.

to get them all, as root type:
slapt-get -u
slapt-get --upgrade
slapt-get --install-set slint
dotnew (or dot-new-gtk in a graphical environment).

This batch includes most recent versions of main audio/video main applications:
mpv-0.34 full featured
vlc-3.0.16 full featured
ffmpeg4-4.4.1 full featured

Several codecs and libraries dependencies of the these players have been added
or upgraded.

yt-dlp supersedes youtube-dl and is used automatically by the new mpv to play a
youtube stream, for instance.

For instance:
mpv https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-oHLG0oB20 ;(in graphical mode)
or:
mpv --no-video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2-oHLG0oB20

If someone wants or needs to reinstall youtube-dl it can be found here:
https://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-14.2.1/previous/packages/youtube-dl-2021.06.06-x86_64-1slint.txz
alongside its md5sul checksum:
https://slackware.uk/slint/x86_64/slint-14.2.1/previous/packages/youtube-dl-2021.06.06-x86_64-1slint.md5

Other audio/video players updated:
audacious
k3b
moc
mpd-sacd
xine

Also updated: git, mumble and murmur.

Unrelated change: I have removed from the mirror these repositories:
x86-64/slint-wip (contained packages no more shipped in Slint)
i586/slint-14.2 (contained obsolete and unsafe packages for mozilla-thunderbird)
x86_64/slint-14.2 (superseded by x86_64/slint-14.2.1)

Cheers,
Didier
