Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
The week started a bit bumpy for Tumbleweed, as openQA was having some technical difficulties over the weekend. But nothing that our skilled epxerts could not solve within a few hours. Once every thing was back in shape, Tumbleweed started rolling full steam ahead and we managed to release 5 new snapshots (0710, 0713, 0714, 0715 and 0716)
The changes included in those snapshots were:
- KDE Plasma 5.19.3
- KDE Frameworks 5.72.0
- KDE Applications 20.04.3
- Poppler 0.90.0
- GNOME 3.36.4
- Subversion 1.14.0
- Mozilla Firefox 78.0.2
The staging projects are filled up with:
- Kubernetes 1.18.6 and 1.17.9
- LibreOffice 7.0rc1
- Linux kernel 5.7.9
- GCC 10.2 rc1
- openSSL 3.0
- Python3 package will be renamed to python38. The goal will be to allow multiple python versions to more easily coexist.
- RPM changes: %{_libexecdir} is being changed to /usr/libexec. This exposes quite a lot of packages that abuse %{_libexecdir} and fail to build. Additionally, the payload compression is being changed to zstd
