Review of the week 2018/08

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Week 8 of this years brought 7 snapshots (0215, 0216, 0218, 0219, 0220, 0221 and 0222), with some nice enhancements:

  • LibreOffice 6.0.1.1
  • KDE Frameworks 5.43.0
  • KDE Plasma 5.12.1
  • Linux kernel 4.15.4
  • The upstream fixes for the Mesa/Qt5 shader corruptions
  • Distro packages now support SPDX-3.0 license tags
  • MPEG2 patents expired, so various multimedia frameworks already started enabling it

That sounds like a productive week – and looking at the staging, there is no end in sight. Those changes are work in progress:

  • Glibc 2.27
  • Linux kernel 4.15.5
  • Mozilla-nss 3.35
  • KDE Plasma 5.12.2
  • And I’m sure I missed something
