Tumbleweed – Review of the weeks 2025/16 & 17

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

As many know, last weekend was Easter-Weekend, which means many of us in Europe get a long weekend with extra days off. This is why I did not get around to writing last week’s Review. But with such a long weekend in between, it’s also not very surprising that things moved a bit slower. Let me catch up now and inform you about the changes of the last two weeks. We released 8 snapshots (0410, 0411, 0414, 0417, 0418, 0420, 0422, 0423).
