openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2021/29

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

A new week full of Tumbleweed snapshots comes to an end. And we had one day without a new snapshot (not due to problems but there was simply nothing in the queue that would have passed staging). So, as a result, we have published 6 snapshots during this week (0715, 0716, 0717, 0718, 0720, and 0721).

The main changes included in those snapshots were:

  • KDE Frameworks 5.84.0
  • Mesa 21.1.5
  • Mozilla Firefox 90.0 & Thunderbird 78.12.0
  • Linux kernel 5.13.2
  • GNOME 40.3
  • libxcrypt 4.4.23: addition of CRYPT_SALT_METHOD_LEGACY
  • meson 0.58.1

The things currently brewing in the staging projects are:

  • Linux kernel 5.13.4
  • systemd 248.5, will be followed by 249 shortly after
  • meson 0.58.2
  • binutils 2.37
  • rpmlint 2.0
