Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
While everybody started thinking about HackWeek, Tumbleweed kept rolling on without any major bumps on the road. This week, we released five snapshots (1108, 1109, 1111, 1112, and 1113).
The most relevant changes were:
- KDE Gear 24.08.3
- KDE Frameworks 6.8.0
- Mesa 24.2.6
- LLVM 19.1.3
- cURL 8.11.0
- Mozilla Firefox 132.0.1: No longer use custom patches to interact with KDE’s file dialogs, but rather use the xdg-desktop-portals
- Linux kernel 6.11.7
- Swig 4.3.0
Looking back at last week’s review, that is pretty much what had been advertised then. The preview for the upcoming snapshots includes:
- Linux kernel 6.11.8
- Enabling Python 3.13 modules; Python 3.11 will remain the default for now, subject to change
- Icu 76.1
- cmake 3.31.0
- Debugedit 5.1
- dbus-1-x11 will be removed: after the move to dbus-broker, we only need a simple dbus-launch, without X11-integration
