Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Over Europe, the days are getting shorter here, and it’s colder and greyer outside. This is all the more reason to spend time at your desk updating your Tumbleweed installation. This week, we gave you six snapshots to enjoy (1102, 1103, 1104, 1105, 1106, and 1107).

The most relevant updates delivered this week are:

  • OpenJDK CPU updates for openjdk 1.8.0, 11, 17, 21, and 23
  • GTK 4.16.5
  • Linux kernel 6.11.6
  • TigerVNC 1.14.1
  • KDE Plasma 6.2.3
  • libheif 1.19.1
  • openSSL 3.2.3
  • Ruby 3.3.6
  • GStreamer 1.24.9
  • Enchant 2.8.2

The next week will be really interesting, as we got fixes for Mesa 24.2.x submitted – and they passed staging already. For the next few days/weeks, we can expect these changes to happen:

  • Mesa 24.2.6
  • LLVM 19.1.3
  • Swig 4.3.0
  • KDE Gear 24.08.3
  • KDE Frameworks 6.8.0
  • Mozilla Firefox 132.0.1: removing the openSUSE specific KDE integration patches, relying on the xdg-desktop-portals for desktop integration
  • Enabling python 3.13 modules; Python 3.11 will remain the default for now.
