openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2021/28

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

This week I can’t but hope everybody is safe – at least here in Europe, water keeps falling from the sky. That bad weather has a positive side effect on Tumbleweed though: I prefer hiding inside, doing some Tumbleweed stuff instead of going outside. This has been visible during this week with a full 7 snapshots being published (0708…0714)

The most relevant updates included:

• linux-glibc-devel 5.13
• Linux kernel 5.13.1
• KDE Gear 21.04.3
• KDE Plasma 5.22.3
• vsftpd 3.0.4: Disable TLS prior to v1.2 by default
• grub2 2.0.6
• bluez 5.60
• fmt 8.0.0 together with ceph 16.2.5

Despite all this, the staging projects are not empty at all. You awesome maintainers keep things coming. Currently, we’re testing integration of these parts:

• KDE Frameworks 5.84.0
• Mozilla Firefox 90.0 & Thunderbird 78.12.0
• Mesa 21.1.5
• Linux kernel 5.13.2
• libxcrypt 4.4.23: addition of CRYPT_SALT_METHOD_LEGACY
