Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
Last week’s review was skipped due to the long Easter weekend here. While I did my best to keep the Tumbleweed rolling, I couldn’t quite set aside enough time for the write-up. To make up for it, this review covers the last two weeks—a small “punishment” I’m sure you’ll overlook in favor of the steady stream of snapshots.
Over the past fortnight, we successfully released 10 snapshots (0327, 0329, 0330, 0331, 0402, 0404, 0405, 0407, 0408, and 0409). Most changes were incremental and served as preparation for larger updates on the horizon.
The most relevant changes delivered are:
- Autoconf 2.73
- gtk 3.24.52 (gtk3 slows down the release cadance even more; all dev power to gtk4)
- Mozilla Firefox 149.0 & 149.0.2
- bluez 5.82
- Linux kernel 6.19.10 & 6.19.11
- Qt 6.11.0
- expat 2.7.5
- SDL 3.4.2 & 3.4.4
- file 5.47
- Gimp 3.2.2
- LibreOffice 26.2.2.2
- libvirt 12.2.0
- XZ 5.8.3
- Mesa 26.0.4
- cryptsetup 2.8.6
- protobuf 34.1
For the upcoming days/weeks, we foresee these changes to become ready for distribution:
- GNOME 50, followed shortly by 50.1
- KDE Plasma 6.4.4
- Samba 4.23.6
- SELinux-policies: Change store root-path for selinux modules from /var/lib/selinux to /etc; this is to stabilize usage on transactional systems further
- Systemd 260.1
- cmake 4.3.1
- transactiona;-update: next attempt to enable soft-reboot
- LLVM 22
- GCC 16 as the default distro compiler
- glibc 2.43: metabug: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1257250
