Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
Happy New Year to you all! While people all around the world are celebrating the new year, Tumbleweed has been tirelessly rolling ahead and has published six snapshots (20251227 – 20251231, 20260101). Naturally, there are no groundbreaking changes, as many developers and maintainers are out celebrating, and any greater coordinated effort is taking a bit more time.
Nevertheless, the six snapshots brought you these changes:
- Python 3.13.11 (some CVE fixes)
- libgit2 1.9.2S
- Neon 0.36.0
- Harfbuzz 12.3.0
- NetworkManager 1.54.3
- GStreamer 1.26.10
- VLC 3.0.22 & 3.0.23: finally linking ffmpeg-8
- GPG 2.5.16
- upower 1.91.0
The next snapshot is already in progress of syncing out, and the next few changes are pulling up in the staging projects. You can expect these things shortly:
- SDL3 3.4.0
- Ruby 4.0: currently breaking build of vim, See https://github.com/vim/vim/issues/18884
- transactional-update 6.0.1
- Shadow 4.19.0
Let’s get rolling for the Year 2026! I’m looking forward to a great year!
