openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the Weeks 2016/35

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Week 35 has ended with a QtCon/Akademy/VideoLAN Dev Days in Berlin and, as was to be expected, a lot of good discussions happened there. But not everybody is in Berlin and some people make sure that Tumbleweed keeps on rolling. As such, we were provided 5 snapshots this week (0825, 0826, 0828, 0830 and 0831).

The updates included

• KDE Plasma 5.7.4
• KDE Framework 5.25.0
• KDE Applications 16.08.0
• ModemManager 1.6.0
• FFmpeg 3, parallel to FFmpeg 2.8.7
• VirtualBox 5.1.4

And as usual, a bunch of things are queued up for you:

• GNOME 3.22 is appearing on the horizon
• glibc 2.24
• gcc 6.2
