Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

During this week we released 4 snapshots (0220, 0222, 0224 and 0226) – an average week from that perspective, yet there have been some interesting and well-awaited updates in these snapshots:

  • zsh 5.8
  • Mesa 19.3.4 & Mesa 20.0
  • libcap 2.32
  • GNOME 3.34.4
  • KDE Plasma 5.18.1
  • LLVM 6 has been removed from the repository
  • ncurses 6.2
  • Linux kernel 5.5.5
  • Mozilla Firefox 73.0.1: it will now launch in Wayland mode inside a Wayland session
  • MariaDB 10.4.12

Despite all those things happenings, stagings are still – or again – filled up:

  • Zypper 1.14.34: beware! This version no longer supports abbreviated command line parameters (e.g zypper in --no-r is no longer accepted)
  • KDE Plasma 5.18.2
  • Qt 5.15.0 (currently betas being tested)
  • Ruby 2.7 – possibly paired with the removal of Ruby 2.6
  • GCC 10
  • Python 3.8 (unchanged, awaiting the fix for salt)
  • Removal of Python 2
  • GNU Make 4.3
  • RPM: change of database format to ndb
