Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
This week I am writing this report on the train while traveling back home from the openSUSE conference. Consequently, this report covers the last two weeks, as I allowed myself some days off before travelling, creating a larger gap here than normal.
First things first: it was an incredible pleasure to meet so many of our users and contributors at the openSUSE Conference in Nuremberg. In case you did not have a chance to attend, or somehow missed the information that this event was happening, we are happy to already announce the date and location for the next openSUSE conference: 11–13 June 2027 in Prague.
If you didn’t feel “worthy” to join us this time (which is a completely wrong feeling to start with!), we truly hope to meet you there in person next year. Look out for more updates about #oSC27!
Since my last review, Tumbleweed has published a total of 11 snapshots (0611, 0612, 0613, 0615, 0616, 0617, 0618, 0619, 0622, 0623, and 0625). So, even though many of our contributors were having fun at the conference, they still found time to provide you with the latest updates and fixes.
The most relevant changes include:
- GraphicsMagick 1.3.47
- fwupd 2.1.5
- Linux kernel 7.0.12
