openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2023/26

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

We have just finished week 26, meaning half of the year is over. This week was a ‘super fast’ one for Tumbleweed: in the 7 days since the last review we published 9 snapshots. Go figure! The 9 snapshots covered this week are 0621…0629.

The most relevant changes that were delivered during this week were:

  • Mozilla Firefox 114.0.2
  • KDE Plasma 5.27.6
  • IceWM 3.4.0
  • Node.JS 20.3.1
  • AppArmor 3.1.6
  • PHP 8.2.7
  • Mesa 23.1.3
  • Linux kernel 6.3.9
  • util-linux 2.39
  • firewalls 2.0.0
  • strace 6.4
  • transactional-update 4.3.0

As you come to expect, staging projects are filled up and the following few things are being worked on and tested:

  • Protobuf 22
  • linux-glibc-devel 6.4.0
  • Linux kernel 6.4: kernel lockdown enabled, see the announcement
  • exiv2 0.28.0
  • wine 8.11: this was part of a single snapshot (0627) last week, but was quickly reverted in 0628 as there were issues starting apps. The problem could be identified and fixed.
  • Python 3.12.0b3
