Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

This has been a busy week when looking at the snapshots. Tumbleweed has received 6 fully tested snapshots that were published (0110, 0111, 0112, 0113, 0114 and 0115).

The most noteworthy updates there were:

  • RPM 4.15.1
  • Mozilla Firefox 72.0.1
  • Mozilla Thunderbird 68.4.1
  • KDE Applications 19.12.1
  • KDE Plasma 5.17.5
  • KDE Frameworks 5.66.0
  • Linux kernel 5.4.10
  • Kubernetes 1.17.0

That was quite a bunch of what was on the todo list of last week, but definitively not all of it and a few new things are already incoming again. Things currently being worked on or being shipped in the near future

  • systemd 244 (Snapshot 0116+)
  • Mesa 19..3.2 (also snapshot 0116+)
  • Qt 5.14: we are awaiting some legal reviews. Tests by openQA have all passed
  • Python 3.8: Salt seems to be the main blocker here, as it still relies on Tornado 4.x
  • Removal of python 2
