openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the Weeks 2016/33

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Week 33 brought us again 5 snapshots (0812, 0813, 0815, 0816 and 0817). There were some smaller and bigger updates, as usual.

The noteworthy updates were

• Mozilla Firefox 48.0
• KDE Plasma 5.7.3
• Mozilla NSS 5.24 – Most SSLv2 code disappeared
• Linux Kernel – some security fixes
• PAM Config 0.91 – this time without the regression of ‘last time’

And a couple more things are being prepared in staging areads

• Linux kernel 4.7.1
• KDE Applications 16.08.0
• glibc 2.24 – one more package needs to be fixed (openmpi)

Most of those things are likely to reach you during next week.
