Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
It was another uneventful week for Tumbleweed: 6 snapshots were submitted to openQA for testing and all have returned successfully and been published. In staging, of course, the picture is a bit darker, but that’s all shielded before it reaches users and as such does precisely what we want it to do: safeguard the distro and detect issues before they are problems.
The main changes delivered in the 6 snapshots (0106…0111) include:
- Python pytest 7.2.0
- Meson 1.0.0
- KDE Plasma 5.26.5
- Linux kernel 6.1.3 & 6.1.4
- Libzypp 17.31.7
- Mozilla Firefox 108.0.2
- KDE Gear 22.12.1
- firewalls 1.3.0
- systemd 252.4
- Qt 5.15.8
In the staging area, we are busy testing the effects and working on the fallout, of
- Mesa 22.3.3
- Boost 1.81.0: breaks libetonyek and LibreOffice
- Python Sphinx 6.1
- libraw 0.21.0: breaks gegl (fix in the queue already)
- GnuPG 2.4: breaks gpgme:qt
- Ruby 3.2 to become the default ruby version: YaST is failing
- Switch to openSSL 3: Progress tracked in Staging:N
