Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
This week looked pretty normal for Tumbleweed: we could publish 5 snapshots (0919, 0920, 0922, 0923, and 0924). 0925 was tested but needed to be discarded, as the cURL 8.10.1 update caused issues with libostree/flatpak. The issue could be resolved for Snapshot 0926, which is currently in QA and will likely be shipped over the weekend.
The most relevant changes during this week are:
- libeconf 0.7.3
- bind 9.20.2
- Linux kernel 6.10.11
- Mozilla Firefox 130.0.1
- git 2.46.1
- PostgreSQL 17 as new default (currently shipping PostgreSQL 17 RC1)
- Meson 1.5.2
- perl=Bootloader was renamed to update-bootloader
Staging projects and QA are currently working on – and testing – these changes
- Bash 5.2.37
- cURL 8.10.1 – libostree 2024.8 to address the identified crashes in flatpak
- fwupd 1.9.25
- GStreamer 1.24.8
- GTK 4.16.2
- Linux kernel 6.11.0

- Change of the default LSM (opted in at installation) to SELinux. AppArmor is still an option, just not the default. This change only impacts new installations
- GNOME 47
