Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
I’m positively surprised: I can report about 3 snapshots that were released last week (0830, 0831, 0904) – and a 4th one passed openQA (0905) but some heavy truck must block the cable: the sync is blocked; I’ll still include it in the review)
I’m mainly astonished that there were still 3 (4) snapshots completed, considering the issues the infrastructure had during the last days (openQA had a corrupted disk/database, then download.opensuse.org disappeared on us).
What did those 4 snapshots being us?
- More updates from the KDE Applications 17.08.0 stack
- Linux Kernel 4.12.9
- Mono 5.2.0
- Mesa 17.1.8 (the packages wrongly identify was 11.1.6, sorry for that)
- gpg 2.2.0
Work-in-progress items, that will reach you once ready:
- Linux Kernel 4.13
- GNOME 3.26
- Glibc removes the obsolete libnsl/nis integration (a sep. libnsl is introduced)
- Mesa 17.2.0
- PHP5 will be removed from the repositories
- Distro rebuild with -fstack-clash-protection enabled
- Java 9 will become the default java implementation
Things are piling up – which is a good and healthy sign
