Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
Another week has passed – and we’re almost at the end of the year. During the last week we have released 4 snapshots for Tumbleweed (1206, 1207, 1210 and 1211) containing those noteworthy changes:
- gpg 2.2.18
- libvirt 5.10.0
- linux-glibc-devel 5.4
- Mozilla Thunderbird 68.3.0
- bluez 5.52
- libxml 2.9.10
- createrepo_c 0.15.4: beware: it is very strict and blocks any snapshot if there is a package with non-UTF8 chars or ASCII < 32 (except 9, 10 and 13) in a changelog. Double check your .changes files before submitting.
- GNOME 3.34.2
- KDE Plasma 5.17.4
Thins that are currently being worked on and will be reaching you sooner or later:
- KDE Applications 19.12.0 (Snapshot 1213+)
- Qt 5.14.0
- Linux kernel 5.4.1
- Python 3.8
- RPM 4.15.0
- Rust 1.39.0: Still breaks the build of Firefox and Thunderbird
This is the last week before a lot of people will disappear on Christmas break all around. A lot of people – but not all! Tumbleweed will keep on rolling also during the next weeks.
