Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
This week was all in the name of Hackweek, which means some people diverged their efforts a bit away from Factory/Tumbleweed and others have finally found the time they craved and could submit what they had on their wish-list. The Release Team was trying to keep up with the submissions while also having their own time dedicated to hackweek. Seeing that we published 6 snapshots (1102, 1103, 1105, 1106, 1107, and 1108) I dare say this worked out pretty well.
The six delivered snapshots contained these changes:
- GNOME-Shell/Mutter 45.1
- libxml 2.11.5
- Pipewire 0.3.84
- systemd: disabled utmp support
- Libvirt 9.9.0
- xfconf 4.18.3
- fwupd 1.9.7
- VLC 3.0.20
- BlueZ 5.70
- LLVM 17.0.4
- SQLite 3.44.0
Snapshot 1109 is already in QA, 1110 is building, and stagings are getting ready. All in all, you can expect these changes to happen soon-ish:
- Linux kernel 6.6 (Snapshot 1109+)
- gAWK 5.3.0
- Binutils 2.41 (Snapshot 1110+)
- KDE Gear 23.08.3
- Mozilla Firefox 119.0.1
- RPM 4.19: Some preparation work has happened to ensure packages still build (e.g. %patch with unnumbered patches is no longer supported)
- dbus-broker as the default dbus session manager
