Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
It’s Week 43, and Tumbleweed has rolled out five brand-new snapshots! That’s right—five bundles (1017, 1018, 1021, 1022, and 1023) of updates, improvements, and fixes were delivered straight to your desktops, keeping everything sharp and secure. Whether you’re here for the latest packages or simply looking to stay in the loop, there’s plenty to get excited about. Let’s jump into the highlights from this week’s releases! 🚀
📅 Week 43 Highlights:
- Qt 6.8.0
- Systemd 256.7
- Virtualbox 7.1.4
- Mozilla Firefox 131.0.3
- meson 1.6.0
- GNOME 47.1
These snapshots showcase the fantastic work of openSUSE contributors, developers, and testers, who’ve been working around the clock to keep our systems fresh and finely tuned. 💚
And it wouldn’t be a complete ‘review of the week’ without looking forward to what’s on the horizon. Here’s a sneak peek at some of the goodness we can expect next week and beyond! 🌄
🌟 What’s Coming Up in Tumbleweed:
- Linux kernel 6.11.5
- KDE Plasma 6.2.2
- New artwork (wallpaper and Distro logo)
- SWIG 4.3.0: breaks a few packages
- LLVM 19: Needs Mesa 24.2.x
- 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. Before going live, we tested this at openQA, and it identified some bugs; see https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1230118.
Thanks for tuning into this week’s review! There’s always something exciting coming down the pipeline in openSUSE, so be sure to stay up-to-date with these snapshots and keep sharing your thoughts and feedback with the community! 🌐
Happy updating, and see you next week! 🦎
