This is misleading.All puppy 2 versions needed glibc updated to at least 2.4 to stop flashplayer from crashing the browser. We now have glibc-2.5 (puppy 3 package) & glibc-2.6.1-1 (puppy 4 package).
Puppy 4.xx has/had browser crashing issues with flashplayer and already has the newer glibc. This only affects the installer(not needed). The actual fixes centre around gtk2.
An updated glibc would have benefits for other applications but thats a separate matter.
Hey ttuuxxx...is it still planned to have an updated alsa with this kernel as that would make me and several thousand others jump for joy and reduce asprin intake?
