Does this mean that https://people.salixos.org/gapan/claws-mail/ is not yet the new package?

I know that in the Salix planet only security reasons can change the version of a package.

Claws mail has a more recent version (4.3.0) than the one in the repositories (which is 4.1.1, two years old) and, as far as I know, there have not been security issues, but there are some changes that I ...

As usual, you were right.

Well, this blog entry left me disoriented.
Then main reason for to use Slackware, (well, Salix because I am a little lazy :)) after some years using a Debian's derivative is, in theory ...

I'd like to have a sight over balsa (e-mail client) package. It is not on gslapt's repositories nor in sbopkg ones.
