Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
The latest snapshot is just hot off the press and ready to consume – It’s just the latest in a series of five snapshots (0320, 0321, 0324, 0325, and 0326) published this week. Unlike last week, this week, most changes were more in the background.
The five snapshots brought you these changes:
- Samba 4.22.0
- Linux kernel 6.13.7 & 6.13.8
- Mesa 25.0.2
- Shadow 4.17.4
- Bind 9.20.7
- Gimp 3.0.2
- Poppler 25.03.0
- Timezone 2025b
From what we’ve seen, either in the staging areas or from announcements on the mailing list, these are the topics being worked on:
- Linux kernel 6.14.0
- GCC 15 as distro compiler, see https://build.opensuse.org/staging_workflows/openSUSE:Factory/staging_projects/openSUSE:Factory:Staging:Gcc7
- CMake 4.0
- Python setuptools 78.0
- LLVM 20: breaks build of Mozilla Firefox
- Removal of pcre(1). Please help with that cleanup, port to PCRE2. See https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/BK3SPPFOM3LI6K5PTXPKZMKMIUIPOEXS/
- More work towards proper display-manager service integration, https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:DisplayManagerRework
