Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
My slacking off last week and taking some days for myself has the consequence that I have to cover two weeks without crushing you under too many boring updates. Let’s dive right in and cover the 11! snapshots published during this time (1016, 1017, 1018, 1020 – 1024, 1027, 1028, and 1029).
The most relevant changes were:
- Linux kernel 6.17.3, 6.17.4, and 6.17.5
- clamav 1.5.1
- python 3.13.9
- Mozilla Firefox 144.0 (no longer built for i586!)
- GStreamer 1.26.7
- gnome-shell & mutter 49.1
- Samba 4.22.5
- util-linux 2.41.2
- binutils 2.45
- KDE Plasma 6.5.0 & 6.5.1
- VirtualBox 7.2.4
- Mesa 25.2.5
- garphviz 14.0.0
- Java 25 openJDK
- Changes in Lua interpreter: luajit implementation has changed to the openresty fork (formerly luajit2 package)
The next snapshot is already building, and our testing areas are busy confirming these updates to be made available to you:
- Mozilla Firefox 144.0.2
- Linux kernel 6.17.6
- Mesa 25.2.6
- Switch from grub2 to grub2-bls
- transactional-update 5.5.0: enables soft-reboot if possible
- openSSL 3.6.0: regression detected, which causes nodejs22 testsuite to fail
- kernel hardening: prevent normal users from seeing dmesg
