Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
What a week it’s been for our favorite green chameleon! With 7 snapshots (1010…1016) rolling out, we’ve had plenty of updates, improvements, and new features making their way into our systems. If you blinked, you might have missed a few—so let’s dive into the highlights from the past week and catch up on everything that’s been buzzing in the openSUSE world!
🔥 This Week’s Highlights:
- GCC 14.2.1
- Mozilla Firefox 132.0.2
- KDE Gear 24.08.2
- KDE Frameworks 6.7.0
- KDE Plasma 6.2.1
- Samba 4.21.0
- Linux kernel 6.11.3
But, hold on! The excitement doesn’t stop there—there’s more on the horizon! Let’s take a peek at what’s coming our way in the next snapshots. 🌟
🚀 What to Expect Next:
- Linux kernel 6.11.4
- Virtualbox 7.1.4
- Vagrant will be removed: does not work with Virtualbox 7.1 and has no fix in sight.
- Mozilla Firefox 132.0.3
- SWIG 4.3.0 (beta1 has been submitted for testing)
- LLVM 19: Needs Mesa 24.2.x
- Mesa 24.2.x: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/11840
- Tumbleweed Wallpaper refresh. per https://github.com/openSUSE/branding/pull/160
- Change the default LSM (opted in at installation) to SELinux. AppArmor is still an option, just not the default. This change only impacts new installations. Before going live, we threw this at openQA and it identified some bugs, see https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1230118.
