Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
It’s been a productive and busy week for Tumbleweed—and for openQA in particular. We threw 7 snapshots at the engines, and 6 were confirmed and published (0305, 0306, 0307, 0308, 0310, and 0311).
Snapshot 0309 was the first to include systemd 259.3, and openQA was not happy at all. The culprit turned out to be a missing sync with the SELinux policies. Once the policies were updated in snapshot 0310, openQA was (mostly) satisfied. A few additional policy tweaks were pushed via the update channel to ensure we didn’t block the snapshot pipeline any longer than necessary.
Those 6 snapshots brought you these changes:
- bind 9.20.20
- gstreamer 1.28.1
- iptables 1.8.13
- shadow 4.19.4
- PackageKit 1.3.4
- KDE Gear 25.12.3
- Linux kernel 6.19.6 & kernel longterm 6.18.16
- libvirt 12.1.0
- GCC 16 is providing the base libraries, such as libgcc_s1. The system compiler is still version 15 for the time being
- Pipewire 1.6.1
- systemd 259.3
- Mozilla Firefox 148.0.2
- postfix 3.11.1
The future holds these changes, once they pass QA:
- Mesa 26.0.2
- cURL 8.19.0
- systemd 259.4
- Switch default bootloader on uefi systems to systemd-boot (aligning tumbleweed to microos)
- GCC 16 as the default compiler
- GNOME 50: RC is staged for QA; release planned by upstream for March 18
- glibc 2.43: metabug: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1257250
