Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
We released six snapshots during 2024/40 (0926, 0927, 0929, 0930, 1001, and 1002). Based on personal feelings, the week seemed ‘mixed’ – Requests came in, and requests went out. And a few things seem to hang there for longer again.
Let’s first look at what you have received during the last week, starting on the positive side of things:
- Bash 5.2.37
- cURL 8.10.1
- fwupd 1.9.25
- GStreamer 1.24.8
- GTK 4.16.2
- Linux kernel 6.11.0
- openSSH 9.9p1
- systemd 256.6
- TCL 8.6.15
- PostgreSQL 17.0 (final release)
- LibreOffice 24.8.2.1
- PHP 8.3.12
- Audit 4.0
- timezone 2024b
- Virtualbox 7.1.0
- Cups 2.4.11
- AppArmor 4.0.3
- grub2: introduces a new package, grub2-x86_64-efi-bls, which includes a straightforward grubbls.efi file
On the staging projects, we have some larger changes being worked on by multiple people. Some of the more interesting changes to come are:
- Libproxy 0.5.9
- KDE Plasma 6.2
- GNOME 47: webkit2gtk3 breaks python-wxPython on i586; help appreciated
- Busybox 1.37.0
- XWayland 24.1.3
- LLVM 19
- Mesa 24.2.x: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/11840
- 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.
