openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the weeks 2021/40 & 41

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Due to my slacking off last Friday, I have to write the review over two weeks again. But that might turn out even better this time, as otherwise, the review might be a bit short (we struggled a bit this week with ‘openQA being slower in testing than OBS with building’). During the last two weeks, we have released a total of 6 snapshots (0929, 1001, 1005, 1008, 1011, and 1012).

The main changes included in those snapshots were:

• GNOME 41.0
• Mozilla Firefox 92.0.1 & 93.0
• Mesa 21.2.3
• Pipewire 0.3.38
• Apache 2.4.51
• Linux kernel 5.14.9
• Samba 4.15.0 (See special info message)
• Squid 5.2
• meson 0.59.2
• LibreOffice 7.2.2.1
• openSSH 8.8p1
• PostgreSQL 14.0
• Rust 1.55
• LLVM 13

In the staging projects we are currently preparing these updates:

• KDE Plasma 5.23
• KDE Frameworks 5.87.0
• RPM 4.17
• Coreutils 9.0: causes issues with 32bit archs (intel, arm, ppc)
• gpg 2.3.2
• openssl 3.0
• bison 3.8.2
