Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
Just in time for the weekend, we have managed to get a snapshot out. You likely noticed the gap between Jan 13 and Jan 21; this was due to some tricky conflicts between Postfix and SELinux. While the pause dragged on longer than we would have liked, the resolution was successful.
Crucially, nothing broke on existing systems, and new submissions to Factory continued to be processed in the background. This resulted in a massive accumulation of changes rolling into snapshot 20260121.
The accumulated changes include:
- 389-ds 3.2.0
- ImageMagick 7.1.2.13
- Mozilla Firefox 147.0
- alsa 1.2.15.3
- Amarok 3.3.2
- KDE Plasma 6.5.5
- FreeRDP 3.20.2
- Linux kernel 6.18.6
- libvirt 12.0.0
- PHP 8.4.17
- Postfix 3.10.7
- Ruby 4.0.1
- Shadow 4.19.2
- util-linux 2.41.3
From an end-user perspective, the result is essentially the same as receiving five smaller snapshots, though major updates like KDE Plasma 6.5.5 had to simmer a bit longer than usual before reaching you.
With the blockage cleared, we look forward to returning to our regular pace. Here is what is coming your way soon:
- Mozilla Firefox 147.0.1
- Pipewire 1.5.85
- PackageKit 1.3.3
- Cockpit 354
- Linux kernel 6.18.7
- Pam 1.7.2
- libzypp (adding support for UAPI style configuration)
