Announcing AstLinux Pre-Release: astlinux-1.4-5135-88bba6

** Request for Testing

This pre-release includes a major version bump of prosody (XMPP), from 0.10.3 to 0.11.9.  The 0.11.9 version includes Denial-of-Service security fixes.
If you are using XMPP in your setup, please consider testing this pre-release.  Particularly with using XMPP 'pubsub' with Asterisk.
Please report any issues (or successes) with this change.

** The AstLinux Team is regularly upgrading packages containing security and bug fixes as well as adding new features of our own.

-- Linux Kernel 4.19.190 (version bump), security and bug fixes

-- initrd, check for ASTURW /etc/inittab and copy it forward so the linuxrc's /sbin/init can use it.
	Note: AstLinux 1.3.10 through 1.4.2 ignored any user edits to the /etc/inittab file, rather
	it always used the default /etc/inittab file (the default is what most users want anyway).
	Now edits to the /etc/inittab file are honored again, as they were before AstLinux 1.3.10.
