Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
If 42 is the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything, then week 42 of the year 2025 must bring you all the software updates you have waited for your entire life, and your computer has entered the ‘working perfectly mode’ now. The number of snapshots is lower than in other weeks, as openQA ensured we reached perfection and has prevented us from releasing some broken snapshots (broken in the sense that the grub2/snapper integration was denied by SELinux).
We have thus released three snapshots (1013, 1014, and 1015), bringing you these updates:
- KDE Gear 25.08.2
- KDE Frameworks 6.19.0
- Qt 6.10.0
- Linux kernel 6.17.1 & 6.17.2
- GNOME 49.1 (gnome-shell and mutter are pending; they were released a bit later by upstream)
- gimp 3.0.6
- Ruby 3.4.7
- Switch to ffmpeg-8 by default
- LibreOffice 25.8.2.2
- GCC 15.2.1
- Qemu 10.1.1
- libxml 2.14.5
- opensuse-welcome was replaced by opensuse-welcome (sic!): the new implementation is forked off gnome-tour
The outlook for the next week promises to keep going strong. Using OBS’ staging areas, we are currently testing integration of:
- Linux kernel 6.17.3
- Mozilla Firefox 144.0
- KDE Plasma 6.5 (beta 2 being tested; waiting for the final release)
- util-linux 2.41.2
- transactional-update 5.5.0: enables soft-reboot if possible
- Switch from grub2 to grub2-bls
- openSSL 3.6.0: fix for nodejs22 pending
