openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2015/46

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

During this week we were fortunate to receive 3 snapshots. So plenty of room for many updates.

The most important parts in those snapshots were:

  • Linux Kernel 4.3
  • PulseAudio 7.1
  • Mozilla Firefox 42
  • translation-update is now a dummy package in Tumbleweed. The fast pace made this package do more harm than good

What are the next snapshots bringing:

  • Completion of GNOME 3.18.2 release
  • GNOME 3 will be able to be launched out of SDDM

And what is happening in stagings, that’s likely going to take some more time?

  • The switching of the default fonts as discussed: Roboto and Noto will be the new defaults. We are just busy updating the openQA setup to identify the screenshots.
  • Mesa 11.0.5 – with a bunch of i965 and nouveau fixes
  • KDE Frameworks 5.16.0
  • Plasma 5.4.3

Have a fun time!
