Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

This week looked pretty normal for Tumbleweed: we could publish 5 snapshots (0919, 0920, 0922, 0923, and 0924). 0925 was tested but needed to be discarded, as the cURL 8.10.1 update caused issues with libostree/flatpak. The issue could be resolved for Snapshot 0926, which is currently in QA and will likely be shipped over the weekend.

The most relevant changes during this week are:

  • libeconf 0.7.3
  • bind 9.20.2
  • Linux kernel 6.10.11
  • Mozilla Firefox 130.0.1
  • git 2.46.1
  • PostgreSQL 17 as new default (currently shipping PostgreSQL 17 RC1)
  • Meson 1.5.2
  • perl=Bootloader was renamed to update-bootloader

Staging projects and QA are currently working on – and testing – these changes

  • Bash 5.2.37
  • cURL 8.10.1 – libostree 2024.8 to address the identified crashes in flatpak
  • fwupd 1.9.25
  • GStreamer 1.24.8
  • GTK 4.16.2
  • Linux kernel 6.11.0
  • openSSH 9.9p1
  • systemd 256.6
  • TCL 8.6.15
  • PostgreSQL 17.0
  • LLVM 19
  • Mesa 24.2.x
  • Plasma 6.2 (beta)
  • timezone 2024b: postgresql test suites fixed
  • Audit 4.0
  • grub2 change: Introduces a new package, grub2-x86_64-efi-bls; some scenarios do not install the proper branding package
  • Change of the default LSM (opted in at installation) to SELinux. AppArmor is still an option, just not the default. This change only impacts new installations
  • GNOME 47
