Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Last week I missed, for personal reasons, to write up the report. So, slacking in one week means I have to catch up the other week. Of course, you are all eager to hear/read what is happening in Tumbleweed. In the period since covered, we have released 7 Snapshots (0305, 0306, 0307, 0309, 0311, 0312 and 0314). The major changes were:

  • Linux kernel 5.5.7
  • Python 3.8.2, with a lot of python modules being updated
  • Mesa 20.0.1
  • KDE Applications 19.12.3
  • KDE Plasma 5.18.3

Thins currently being staged or close to be shipped:

  • RPM: change of database format to ndb
  • Linux kernel 5.5.10
  • Qt 5.15.0 (currently betas being tested)
  • Ruby 2.7 – possibly paired with the removal of Ruby 2.6
  • GCC 10 as the default compiler
  • Removal of Python 2
