Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
The openSUSE conference was a success – and Tumbleweed keeps on rolling. Since my last review, we managed to push out 5 snapshots (0524, 0525, 0528, 0529 and 0530). At the moment, the open Build Service seems to be overloaded, likely a lot of new Leap 15. repositories added, but I’m not sure. In any case, I’ll monitor the usage and will wait a bit to trigger the next snapshot. But let’s look at what fun stuff tumbleweed delivered to the users in the last week:
- Linux kernel 4.16.11 & 4.16.12
- Mesa 18.1.0
- gdbm 1.14.1
- openSSH 7.7p1
- Perl 5.26.2
- GStreamer 1.14.1
- QEmu 2.12.0
- bundle-lang-* were removed. In case you use –no-recommends, you likely will miss some translations now. Please install the respective -lang packages.
The various staging projects are currently filled with good things. AS mentioned earlier, delivery will have to wait a bit though to settle the resource usage of OBS. Once this calms down, you can expect those things to reach you:
- Qt 5.11.0
- FFmpeg 4
- Newer Linux kernels
- GCC 8 as distro default compiler
- Plasma 5.13.0 (currently, the KDE team is actively testing 5.12.90 already)
- Go 1.10
