Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

During week 11 we tested a total of 6 snapshots, of which only 3 were good enough to be distributed to the user base (well, not really: only one was discarded for quality reasons, two were discarded as some font changes in the installer made a lot of install tests fail in the view of openQA).

The published snapshots were: 0310, 0312 and 0314 containing these updates:

  • NodeJS 10.5.2, including the switch to make nodejs10 the new default for Tumbleweed, replacing nodejs8
  • KDE Applications 18.12.3
  • Libvirt 5.1.0
  • PostgreSQL 11
  • coreutils 8.31
  • Linux kernel 5.0.1
  • LibreOffice 6.2.2.1
  • SQLite 3.27.2
  • systemd 241 (note: after upgrading from 239, the immediate reboot will be quite slow; this should be a one-off until the system was booted with 241)
  • boost 1.69

You can look forward to those things currently being tested in our staging areas:

  • KDE Plasma 5.15.3
  • Mesa 19.0
  • Linux kernel 15.0.2
  • openSSL 1.1.1 – The blocker is, unchanged, nodejs (despite the move to nodejs10)
