openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the weeks 2019/25 & 26

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers

During the last two weeks, we handed 12 snapshots over to openQA for testing. Of those, 5 have actually been released to the mirrors.  Reasons for discarded snapshots can be many: highest up of course is a product issue, that is detected and rated impacting enough to block a snapshot. In some cases it can also be infrastrucure related issues, where openQA simply couldn’t perform the tests and come to a reliable conclusion.

The five snapshots published were 0614, 0617, 0621, 0623 and 0626, containing those changes:

  • KDE Frameworks 5.59.0
  • KDE Plasma 5.16.1
  • KDE Applications 19.04.2
  • LLVM 8.0
  • openssl 1.1.1c
  • cmake 3.14.5
  • GDM 3.32.0
  • GStreamer 1.14.5
  • Python 3.7.3
  • VLC 3.0.7.1
  • polkit 0.116, based on mozjs 60

As usual, more is being forged in staging areas, such as:

  • TeXLive 2019
  • Qt 5.13
  • SWIG 4.0
  • GStreamer 1.16
  • Kernel 5.1.15
  • RPM is being enhanced by zstd support
  • Mesa 19.1.0
  • KDE Plasma 5.16.2
