I just compile Crystal on my laptop to 1.7.1 yesterday evening.

You’re so last week! :laughing:

To be fair, as far as we know, only certain platforms are affected. You might not need to move to 1.7.2.

No No, compile on my laptop just a tiny task, if not because 1.7.2 not support llvm 15, it probably faster, for now, i have to compile use docker + alpine with static link.

It done already!

I used Slackware too. In fact, when i first switch from window to linux, i use Slackware for five years, i switch to Arch several years ago.
