Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
This week saw the release of 6 snapshots (0813, 0814, 0815, 0817, 0818, and 0819).
The prominent desktop update of the week is the delivery of KDE Frameworks 6.29.0 in snapshot 0817. On the core system side, snapshot 0815 brought a major version bump to the system alternatives configuration engine with libalternatives 2.0, and the default Go system compiler was upgraded from version 1.26 to 1.27.
A key theme of the week was security updates and CVE fixes across several central components. Flatpak arrived with critical sandbox escape fixes, Vim delivered a substantial bundle of vulnerability patches, and Python 3.13 was updated to address several upstream security issues.
These 6 snapshots delivered the following updates:
- flatpak 1.18.1
- Go 1.27
