Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
The last two weeks have been filled with Tumbleweed snapshots! A staggering 13 releases (1123…1206, without 1125) found their way over the ether to your computers. Even if you don’t do daily updates, you get all the updates whenever you want.
The following changes were applied to your system in this period:
- Python 3.11.6
- PHP 8.2.13
- Mozilla Firefox 120.0
- Pipewire 1.0.0
- Perl 5.38.2
- gpgme 1.23.2
- systemd: permissions tightened on DRM render nodes
- LLVM 17.0.6
- MariaDB 11.1.2
- Qt 6.6.1
- GNOME 45.2
- SQLite 3.44.1
- the package cnf-rs was renamed to cnf (matching the command name)
- Sudo/polkit changes introduce configurations for the sudo/wheel group to self auth. Use the two packages sudo-policy-sudo-auth-self and sudo-policy-wheel-auth-self to configure your system
Many things from the last review are still pending in the staging projects – and are likely to stay there for quite a bit longer unless somebody starts fixing the issues identified

- c-ares 1.21.0: breaks nodejs
