Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
Another rather uneventful week over here in Europe: another holiday in the middle of the week (for some regions, not all of Europe). The openSUSE community, in its international form, is usually not significantly affected by such interruptions and keeps rolling. That’s exactly what was observed this week as well: 6 snapshots (0529, 0530, 0531, 0601, 0602, and 0603) have been published over the last week.
The main updates contained therein were:
- Mesa 26.1.1
- Mariadb 11.8.7 & 11.8.8
- Qt 6.11.1
- Pipewire 1.6.6
- Samba 4.23.8 & 4.24.3
- GNOME 50.2
- util-linux 2.42.1
- gpgme 2.1.0
- java packaging change: migrated from update-alternative to libalternatives
- libvirt 12.4.0
The future is bright, and looking into my crystal ball (or on the staging dashboard) helps me to predict these changes coming to you soon:
- Mesa 26.1.2
- Linux kernel 7.0.11
- harfbuzz 14.2.1
- php 8.5.7
- KDE Gear 26.04.2
- KDE Plasma 6.7.0, currently 6.6.91 staged for QA
- Rework of Python3 packaging (as a meta package instead of a provides of the default interpreter)
- gcc 16 as the system default compiler
