Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

This weeks review is a day late: somehow Friday passed too quickly on me and I had to postpone it. The good news though: this results in one more snapshot being considered for this week. I’ll touch on the 6 snapshots 1206, 1210, 1211, 1212, 1213 and 1214. Surely something for everybody in there.

These bits and pieces saw noteworthy updates:

  • SELinux 2.6
  • Tomcat 9.0.2
  • KDE Plasma 5.11.4
  • Linux Kernel 4.14.4 & 4.14.5
  • Qt 5.9.3
  • GStreamer 1.12.4
  • PHP 7.2.0 (NOTE: there is information that this is not compatible with NextCloud!)

The year might come to an end, but the effort out into Tumbleweed is not seeing any decline. There are currently updates planned for:

  • Linux Kernel 4.14.6
  • RPM 4.14
  • KDE Applications 17.12.0
  • LLVM 5
  • Java 10 as default Java compiler for the distro packages
  • Qt 5.10.0
  • YaST’s libstorage-ng implementation
  • LibreOffice 6.0
