openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2023/43

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Another week fully loaded with Tumbleweed snapshot comes to an end. This week, we have delivered five snapshots (with a new one already in openQA).

The five snapshots (1019, 1020, 1022, 1023, and 1025) brought you those changes:

• KDE Frameworks 5.111.0
• KDE Plasma 5.27.9
• Samba 4.19.2
• SQLite 3.43.2
• Apache 2.4.58
• Linux kernel 6.5.8
• Pipewire 0.3.83
• Virtualbox 7.0.12
• zlib 1.3
• Redis 7.2.2
• Meson 1.2.3

And, as after the snapshot is before the snapshot, the subsequent things are already lined up and getting ready to reach you. The most intriguing things there are:

• Qemu 8.1.2
• VLC 3.0.19
• LLVM 17.0.3
• systemd: Ship the main configuration files in /usr/lib/; this change will hopefully encourage users to customize the defaults via drop-ins, hence removing the risk of conflicts with downstream customization.
• Boost 1.83.0
• Linux kernel 6.5.9
• openSSL 3.1.4
• PHP 8.2.12
• binutils 2.41
• moving to dbus-broker
