Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Despite the week being one hour shorter (as a reminder: Europe switched from summer time to winter time on Oct 30), the maintainers and contributors went beyond and still delivered 7 snapshots (1028…1103). The staging projects have been nicely balanced and performance seems good. Unless the requests cause breakages, they are still going through the process rather quickly.

The 7 snapshots brought you updates in these area:

  • Mozilla Firefox 106.0.2 & 106.0.3 & Thunderbird 102.4.1
  • gpgme 1.18.0
  • Linux kernel 6.0.5 & 6.0.6
  • Python 3.10.8
  • Sudo 1.9.12
  • KDE Plasma 5.26.2
  • strace 6.0
  • btrfsprogs 6.0
  • GNOME 43.1 (gnome-shell, mutter and gnome-desktop did not get an update in this release, which is why gnome-control-center still reports 43.0)
  • openssl 1.1.1s & openssl 3.0.7

A lot of requests have been submitted in the last days and the staging projects are busy building and testing those changes. The most relevant are:

  • KDE Applications 22.08.3
  • CMake 3.24.2
  • Qt 5.15.7
  • Libvirt 8.9.0
  • SQLite 3.39.4
  • Linux kernel 6.0.7
  • GNU Make 4.4
  • git 2.38.1: breaks python-GitPython
  • icu 72.1: breaks nodejs18/nodejs19 (and a chain behind this)
  • suse-module-tools 16.0.24: breaks virtualbox and vmdk (and potentially more kmp builds)
