Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
This week we have seen a steady stream of snapshots being published. A full 6 snapshots made it out onto the mirrors (0611, 0612, 01613, 0614, 0615, and 0616).
The main changes in those snapshot included:
- Mozilla Firefox 89.0
- Linux kernel 5.12.10
- python3x packages no longer provided ‘python’ as a symbol to not confuse the python2 stacks
- KDE Gear 21.04.2
- KDE Frameworks 5.83.0
- GNOME 40.2
This matches pretty much what was promised to come during last week’s review. A few things still take a bit more time, and more things have shown up in the staging areas:
- Linux kernel 5.12.12
- KDE Plasma 5.22.1
- Cinnamon 5.0
- systemd 248
I made a clean install of Tumbleweed. Gnome 40.2 is a step further. A great work. Leap 15.3 issues are fixed. Very best wishes.

Hi Dominique,
Your blog is the latest page in the Internet without https support.
Can you enable it? Thank you!
Best,
John
https-everywhere is an invention founded on fear. The content of this page is freely transferable and there is literaly no value in encrypting the content while in transit. The only reason to encrypt is when SENDING data to the server – i.e login to the site.
Nevertheless, I’ll have a look at extending the CNAME entries on my let’s-encrypt certificate to cover this domain as well – they are free after all 🙂
