Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
During the last two weeks, there has been a quite constant flow of Tumbleweed snapshots – despite SUSE folks being occupied with hackweek. To cut through the case: Weeks 27 & 28 delivered a total of 9 snapshots (0628, 0629, 0701, 0702, 0703, 0704, 0707, 0709 and 0710)
The relevant updates in overview:
- Linux kernel 4.17.3 & 4.17.4
- bcm43xx-firmware added support for BCM 4356 PCI devices
- KDE Plasma 5.13.2
- fwupdate 11: new support for Lenovo devices
- FFmpeg 4.0.1
- Many yast updates, containing translated keywords
- Mozilla Firefox 61.0
- LibreOffice 6.1.0 (beta2)
- Mesa 18.1.3
- coreutils 8.30
- emacs 26.1
- squid 4.1
The following things are either already in a snapshot work-in-progress or will hopefully be added soon:
- Linux kernel 4.17.5 (and newer)
- file 5.33: beware: it now detects PI-Executables correctly, no longer identifies them just as shared objects.
- LibreOffice 6.1.0 final version
- KDE Plasma 5.13.3
- X.Org 1.12 (still needs some love)
- poppler 0.66 (as usual, texlive and cups-filters are the prominent consumers failing)
- Preparations for Java 11 as the default java compiler
