Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
In the last week, there have been many more exciting things than Tumbleweed updates! You know what I’m talking about. RIGHT, I mean the openSUSE Leap 42.1 release and SUSECon ’15.
Besides that, you accidentally received an untested snapshot 20151030. Due to an error in the release process, this was published before openQA even had a chance to blink. Lucky as we were though: openQA would have passed it through too. But of course all measures were taken to fix the underlying issue and the next snapshot is guaranteed to be tested PRIOR to release again.
So, what DID 20151030 bring you?
- Mesa 11.0.4
- GNOME 3.18.1
- Linux kernel 4.2.4
- libreoffice 5.0.3 with the GTK3 module split out.
- XOrg 1.17.4
Other than this one snapshot, no new releases could be produced: building the FTP tree failed due to kernel-source changes. That has since been fixed (last night) and the new kernel 4.3 will be the next one to surface in any snapshot. So what will we get soon:
- Linux kernel 4.3 (as mentioned)
- A bunch of bugs identified in Leap of course also affect Tumbleweed.
You can expect fixes forward ported
For the next couple days/weeks, the changes in Tumbleweed are likely to stay reasonably small, as a lot of the contributors are focusing on ironing out bug reports of Leap 42.1 – which is right to do. After all, we profit from a wider/different audience reporting bugs and we can expect the same bugs to be fixed in Tumbleweed too.
I wish all readers a great weekend, have a lot of fun
