Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
I’m again spanning two weeks, as the Swiss summer weather prevents me from working too long on Friday afternoons (and a couple of holidays on Thursdays), and thus I miss writing the reviews. However, the changes seem manageable, and it should be possible to provide you with an overview of what has happened and what is to come..After the infrastructure issues mentioned in my last review, we could increase the cadence a bit again and have managed to publish 8 snapshots in the past two weeks (0531, 0601, 0602, 0604, 0605, 0606, 0610, and 0611)
The most relevant changes delivered as part of those snapshots were:
- Mozilla Firefox 138.0.4 & 139..01
- cURL 8.14.0 & 8.14.1
- GCC 14.3.0
- GNOME 48.2
- Qt 5.15.17 & Qt 6.9.1
- Samba 4.22.1 & 4.22.2
- libzypp: enable curl2 and parallel download by default
- Linux kernel 6.15.0 & 6.15.1
- LLVM 20.1.6
- Systemd 257.6
- KDE Gear 25.04.2
- GStreamer 1.26.2
- util-linux 2.41
- Virtualbox 7.1.10
- Mesa 25.1.3
- PostgreSQL 17.5
- MariaDB 11.8.2
- SQLite 3.50.1
I admit, the list became longer than I had expected at first. As usual, Tumbleweed does not stop here, and the next snapshot is already being tested with more requests submitted and piled up. The changes we can predict for the foreseeable future are:
- QEmu 10.0.2
- Linux kernel 6.15.2
- Go 1.25
- KDE Plasma 6.4 (6.3.91 is currently being tested)
- Using grub2-bls as default bootloader on UEFI systems
- GCC 15 as distro compiler, see https://build.opensuse.org/staging_workflows/openSUSE:Factory/staging_projects/openSUSE:Factory:Staging:Gcc7
- CMake 4.0 is not yet submitted, but please help fix issues, See https://lists.opensuse.org/archives/list/factory@lists.opensuse.org/thread/FHM4V3PGI3GX65LG6ZIAGJ6QQD5O57WN/
