As a reminder, Slint is a Linux distribution based on Slackware, easy to
install and use, polyglot, containing several pre-configured desktops,
and window managers, and all software for your daily needs and more. 

It provides to the visually impaired users speech and braille in all
contexts: installation, login, usage on text or console made as in
desktops including MATE, now also with Compiz (which provides features
for partially sighted users), speechd-el and emacspeak. Of course orca,
speech-dispatcher, espeak, espeakup and brltty are included.

The most notable changes since 14.2.1 are:
* Addition of vlc, the ubiquitous audio and video player and recorder.
* Addition of mate-tweak, Compiz, Emerald and associated themes.
* All speech-related applications now rely on alsa or portaudio only and
audio settings have been enhanced. Benefits: a better sound quality when
using speech in console mode, speech applications now start instantly in
all contexts, audio outputs coming from speech application and audio
players nicely coexist.
