Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
A very bad thing happened: we missed one snapshot this week! Only 6 out of 7 made it through QA. Snapshot 20221207 has been declined to be published (a python module update broke ansible, and a few more issues). Nevertheless, let’s focus on the positive: you received 6 snapshots to apply on your machine (1202..1206, 1208).
The most interesting changes in those releases were:
- Mozilla Firefox 107.0.1
- gtk 3.24.35+10 (upstream version 3.24.35, 10 commits ahead in the git branch)
- pango 1.50.12
- rubygem-rspec 3.12.0
- libX11 downgraded from 1.8.2 to 1.8.1 (boo#1205818, boo#1205778)
- NetworkManager 1.40.6
- poppler 22.12.0
- Podman 4.3.1
Staging projects are currently busy testing the following:
- Linux kernel 6.0.12
- KDE Gear 22.12.0
- protobuf 21.11
- systems 252.3
- Python pytest 7.2.0
- Ruby 3.2 (currently RC) is being tested to become the default ruby version (switch would happen when ruby 3.2 sees a final release)
- Switch to openSSL 3: tracked in Staging:N, main failures are nodejs18, nodejs19, OpenSSH, mariadb
- gcc13: the usual 2-phase approach: first (this round) we change the libraries like libgcc, libstdc++, …) to be provided by gcc13. Somewhere down the line, the entire distribution will be rebuilt by that compiler (not scheduled yet)
