Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
This week, Tumbleweed had to take a short break over the weekend. Technically, everything was fine, but with the summer weather approaching in the northern hemisphere, some people tend to do less screen time, especially on weekends. The outcome is still very impressive: five snapshots were published this week (0604, 0605, 0608, 0609, and 0610)
The most relevant changes shipped this week include:
- Mesa 26.1.2
- fontconfig 2.18.0 & 2.18.1: the first version caused some issues and picked the wrong fonts
- harfbuzz 14.2.1
- Linux kernel 7.0.11
- php 8.5.7
- KDE Gear 26.04.2
- tcl/tk 8.6.18
- Mozilla Firefox 151.0.3 & 151.0.4
- sqlite 3.53.2
- systemd 260.2
- file 5.48
Staging still contains the few longer-standing topics from last week and a few more, newer changes, namely:
- MariaDB 12.3.2
- Linux kernel 7.0.12
- KDE Frameworks 6.27
- llvm packaging change: moving away from update-alternatives
- Poppler 26.06.0: breaks the usual suspects like Scribus, Inkscape, LibreOffice
- Qemu 11.0.0: 32-bit host support is being dropped
- KDE Plasma 6.7.0, currently 6.6.91 staged for QA
- Rework of Python3 packaging (as a meta package instead of a provides of the default interpreter)
- gcc 16 as the system default compiler
