Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

This week we have shipped the long-awaited glibc 2.34 update. Unfortunately, as was the case with earlier glibc updates, some containerization methods are blocking new syscalls, which can lead to issues out of the control of Tumbleweed. Our docker packages have been adjusted to handle Tumbleweed inside the containers, but many container providers might not be there yet. Besides the full rebuild snapshot with glibc, we released a total of 4 snapshots this week (0916, 0920, 0921, and 0922).

The main changes included:

  • KDE Frameworks 5.86.0
  • Harfbuzz 2.9.1
  • glibc 2.34
  • binutils 2.37
  • GStreamer 1.18.5
  • Linux kernel 5.14.5
  • Apache 2.4.49
  • shadow 4.9

The staging projects are currently filled with:

  • Linux kernel 5.14.6
  • KDE Plasma 5.23 beta (5.22.90)
  • Perl 5.34.0
  • Mesa 21.2.2
  • Boost 1.77.0
  • openssl 3.0
