Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
This week was quite uneventful: another holiday on Thursday in my region (Ascension Day), which also explains the lack of a snapshot being published that day. Actually, while I was reviewing the openQA results, the next snapshot had already landed and discarded the old one. I really need to better keep up with our automatisms (better yet, tests should not fail, then I would not have to look at any test result to confirm/debug). Anyway, we managed to publish 5 Snapshots (0507, 0509, 0510, 0511, and 0512) this week.
The most relevant changes were:
- fwupd 2.1.1
- lcms 2.19.1
- Linux kernel 7.0.5
- Mesa 26.1.0
- Mozilla Firefox 150.0.2
- gawk 5.4.0
- GCC 16.1.1
- KDE Gear 24.04.1
- KDE Frameworks 6.26.0
- ffmpeg 8.1.1
- PHP 8.5.6
The next snapshot (0514) is already in QA and, unless something comes up, should be released later today. Together with the staging projects, we can foresee these changes reaching the user base anytime soon:
- AppArmor 5.0.0 (NOTE: SELinux is the default on new installations; upgraded installations, or users intentionally doing so, might still run AppArmor. cURL is newly confined and is only permitting read/write to $HOME and tmp-dir locations. Some scripts might trip on that. We had some openQA tests tripping on this as well (solved by staging the files in question via /tmp)
- KDE Plasma 6.6.5
- fwupd 2.1.3
- GStreamer 1.28.3
- Ruby 4.0.4
- Linux kernel 7.0.7
- gpg 2.5.20
- Pipewire 1.6.5
