Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
The week of the desktop is extending from last week into this one. GNOME 49 has been checked in to Factory and is nearing completion. It still requires a bit of patience from your side to get there. While you are waiting for GNOME 49, we have delivered five snapshots (0918, 0919, 0920, 0922, and 0923) to bridge the time until then.
The most relevant changes in those snapshots were:
- cups 2.4.14
- openSSL 3.5.3
- Mozilla Firefox 143.0 & 143.0.1
- gdbm 1.26
- texinfo 7.2
- expat 2.7.2
- Linux kernel 6.16.8
Looking into the crystal ball – or rather staging, which gives slightly better results – we can foresee these changes reaching you anytime soon:
- GNOME 49: Upgraders might run into an issue with dynamic user generation. The issue does not originate from GNOME, but rather /etc/nsswitch.conf not having nss-systemd registered for passwd/group and shadow. See https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1250513 if you are affected, and a workaround. We are looking into ways to fix this automatically
- coreutils 9.8
- Meson 1.9.1
- Poppler 25.09.1
- openexr 3.4.0
- Boost 1.89
- cURL 8.16.0
- Linux kernel 6.16.9
