openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2021/29

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

A new week full of Tumbleweed snapshots comes to an end. And we had one day without a new snapshot (not due to problems but there was simply nothing in the queue that would have passed staging). So, as a result, we have published 6 snapshots during this week (0715, 0716, 0717, 0718, 0720, and 0721).

The main changes included in those snapshots were:

• KDE Frameworks 5.84.0
• Mesa 21.1.5
• Mozilla Firefox 90.0 & Thunderbird 78.12.0
• Linux kernel 5.13.2
• GNOME 40.3
• libxcrypt 4.4.23: addition of CRYPT_SALT_METHOD_LEGACY
• meson 0.58.1

The things currently brewing in the staging projects are:

• Linux kernel 5.13.4
• systemd 248.5, will be followed by 249 shortly after
• meson 0.58.2
• binutils 2.37
• rpmlint 2.0
