Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
The year is slowly coming to an end, and there are only a few days left in 2025. Naturally, in this period, things tend to slow down a bit. People start preparing to see their loved ones, take a vacation, or generally take time off from the online world. What does that mean for Tumbleweed? The good news: nothing. Tumbleweed keeps rolling; just some days will see slower response times, and requests might linger a bit longer. The process remains unchanged, though: unless openQA confirms the quality of a snapshot, we will prefer to hold a snapshot back in the absence of developers being able to validate its impact. I’m sure that’s in everybody’s best interest.
During the last week, we have been able to publish 4 snapshots (1212, 1215, 1216, and 1217), containing these changes:
- Bash 5.3.9
- KDE Gear 25.12.0
- Linux kernel 6.18.1
- Qemu 10.1.3
- KDE Frameworks 6.21.0
- LLVM 21.1.7
- Samba 4.23.4
- Changed the default for Node.js to version 24
- Rust 1.92
As mentioned, the number of requests are getting a bit lower, but there are still things in the queue being handled at the moment. Most notably, these changes:
- Ruby 3.4.8
- PHP 8.4.15 & 8.4.16
- Mozilla Firefox 146.0.1
- Linux kernel 6.18.2
- Enablement of Python 3.14 modules, while removing Python 3.12. This simple we would provide python 3.11, 3.13 (default) and 3.14
- Ruby 4.0: early testing in staging. So far, this looks all good
- Removal of LUA 5.1
