Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Since the last weekly review, we have ‘only’ delivered six snapshots (0811…0816). Snapshot 0817 is still hanging in QA and is thus not part of today’s review.

The most relevant changes delivered in the aforementioned snapshots are:

  • Node.JS 20.5.1
  • Meson 1.2.1
  • Python 3.11, configured for PEP-0668 (externally managed system tree)
  • Mozilla Firefox 116.0.2
  • NetworkManager 1.44.0
  • glibc 2.38: rebuild mode of OBS was changed from ‘local’ (only build packages with changes) to ‘direct’ (rebuild based on dependencies) which resulted in a larger snapshot but with packages leveraging the new features of glibc 2.38
  • Systemd 253.8
  • GTK 4.12.0
  • PostgreSQL 15.4

Things currently in QA, either as part of a new snapshot or staged, include:

  • Linux kernel 6.4.11
  • KDE Frameworks 5.109.0
  • Systemd 254.1
  • Mozilla Firefox 116.0.3
  • Shadow 4.14.0
  • FMT 10: breaks mariadb boo#1213219 and ceph boo#1213217; help welcome
  • libxml2 2.11.x
  • doxygen 1.9.7 – breaks wxPython build
