Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
We’re quickly approaching the end of the year, and I hear more and more people ‘preparing for the holiday’. As with every year, this season will likely slow down Tumbleweed. There are more important things to tend to than sending updates to Factory over and over, something I am sure all readers will support. Our maintainers deserve a break every now and then—after fixing the most critical bugs. This week, the developers are still in full swing and are sending submissions to Factory. The Release Team produced 4 working snapshots (1129, 1202, 1203, and 1204.
The most relevant changes delivered to the users during this week were:
- Mozilla Firefox 133.0
- LibreOffice 24.8.3.2
- SQLite 3.47.1
- elfutils 0.192
- mozjs 128.5.1 (JS engine used by GNOME-Shell)
- systemd 256.9
- libcap 2.73
- Python setuptools 75.6.0
Of the advertised things from last week, most notably systemd and kernel 6.12 have not made it into any snapshot yet: both started showing issues around TPM measuring which have been flagged by openQA and are actively worked on by the developers. Currently, the release team is testing those updates in the staging areas:
- Linux kernel 6.12.3
- Systemd 257.x
- Rust 1.83
- Python 3.11.11, 3.12.8
