Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2025/50

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Hackweek was a blazing success, and many fun projects have been showcased at https://hackweek.opensuse.org. This week has seen Tumbleweed return to its old, boring, always-rolling self, with 4 solid snapshots published this week (1204, 1205, 1210, and 1211)

The most relevant changes contained in these snapshots were:

  • Mozilla Firefox 145.0.2 & 146.0
  • SDL 3.2.28
  • Bash 5.3.8
  • Linux kernel 6.18.0
  • Postgresql 18.1
  • SQLite 3.51.1
  • Mesa 25.3.1
  • Alsa 1.2.15 (including regression patches, as stock 1.2.15 showed issues in openQA)
  • Apache 2.4.66
  • GStreamer 1.26.9
  • KDE Plasma 6.5.4

Currently, we have received and are testing these changes:

  • KDE Gear 25.12.0
  • Switch to Node.js 24 by default (current default is Node.js 22)
  • Ruby 4.0: early testing in staging. So far, this looks all good
  • Removal of LUA 5.1
