Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
Updating two major desktops within one week is not to be taken lightly—yet, that’s exactly what Tumbleweed did this week. KDE and GNOME have received updates to the freshly released upstream versions.
In the five snapshots (1003, 1005, 1006, 1007, and 1009) released this week, you could find these changes:
- Qt 6.7.3
- Busybox 1.37.0
- FFmpeg 7.1
- libproxy 0.5.9
- Mozilla Firefox 131.0 (131.0.2 is in the Update channel, addressing CVE-2024-9680)
- KDE Plasma 6.2.0
- Linux kernel 6.11.2
- GNOME 47.0
- XWayland 24.1.3
For our KDE Users, the update frenzy is not over yet, as KDE Gear is being prepared to be updated to 24.08.2. Amongst this change, the staging Release Engineers are currently busy testing the integration of:
- GCC 14.2.1
- KDE Gear 24.08.2
- SWIG 4.3.0 (beta1 has been submitted for testing)
- LLVM 19: Needs Mesa 24.2.x
- Tumbleweed Wallpaper refresh. per https://github.com/openSUSE/branding/pull/160
- Mesa 24.2.x: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/11840
- Change the default LSM (opted in at installation) to SELinux. AppArmor is still an option, just not the default. This change only impacts new installations.
