Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
This week saw the release of 5 snapshots (0723, 0724, 0726, 0728, and 0729).
A major milestone was reached as GCC 16 has officially landed as Tumbleweed’s new default system compiler in snapshot 0726. Because this transition required rebuilding the entire repository to benefit from the new compiler optimizations, snapshot 0726 was exceptionally large. Along with this compiler shift, the linux-glibc-devel 7.1 headers successfully made their way to users in snapshot 0728.
Additionally, we saw the return of multipath-tools 0.15~1 in snapshot 0726 after its brief “yo-yo” revert last week.
These 5 snapshots delivered the following updates:
- GCC 16 as the default system compiler
- linux-glibc-devel 7.1
- Mozilla Firefox 153.0
- systemd 261.2
- OpenSSH 10.4p1
