Its quite amazing indeed! For the curious, here's the changelog for stable releases 14.0 [0], 14.1 [1], and 14.2 [2]. Not all packages are updated (such as the kernel version, but many critical attack surfaces are such as curl [3], ca-certificates, and sudo. Also note that for Slackware 14.0 and 14.1 releases, this was prior to the Mon Aug 3 19:49:51 UTC 2015 bump of the build architecture from i486 to i586 builds [4]. This means that one should be able to run currently supported Slackware 14.0 and 14.1 on any 486 compatible processor, and Slackware 14.2, 15.0 and -current on Pentium-compatible i586 CPUs since they are still building 32-bit packages [5][6]!
