Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
The week having 7 days is defined. Tumbleweed reaching a daily snapshot is almost as defined. It’s pretty rare to do anything else. No surprise on this front this week when we delivered the 7 snapshots (0216…0222) to the users.
The most relevant changes delivered include:
- dav1d 1.1.0
- git 2.39.2
- mozjs 102.8.0 (used to power gnome-shell)
- PHP 8.1.16
- poppler 23.02.0
- samba 4.17.5
- Ruby 3.2 is now the default
- Python 3.11 modules are being shipped (the default python3 interpreter is still version 3.10)
- openssl 3.0.8
- binutils 2.40
- mutter 3.43+2: fix regression of 3.43 regarding window focus being ‘weird’
Staging projects are mostly cleared – except the long-running ones expected to be with us a bit longer. The main changes coming to Tumbleweed in the next few days/weeks are:
- SQLite 3.41.0: Take note of https://sqlite.org/quirks.html#dblquote which is enforced by this version when using the CLI
