openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the weeks 2019/16 – 18

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Apologies for the long delay to get a new ‘weekly’ review out. This time I actually have to span over three weeks. Due to the Easter weekend, and a bit of private live turmoils (nothing to worry, I only was moving to a new house), I had been absent for a short while. Of course Tumbleweed did not go on a break and a lot has happened in those three weeks. There were a total of 11 new snapshots published since my last write-up (0412, 0415, 0417, 0418, 0419, 0420, 0423, 0425, 0426, 0428 and 0430).

The noteworthy updates included:

  • Libvirt 5.2.0
  • Salt 2019.2.0
  • LibreOffice 6.2.3.2
  • Linux glibc devel 5.0
  • Linux kernel 5.0.8 & 5.0.9
  • Emacs 26.2
  • KDE Applications 19.04.0
  • KDE Frameworks 5.57.0
  • Mesa 19.0.2 & 19.0.3
  • osc 0.165: Newly based on python3
  • Qt 5.12.3
  • Samba 4.10.2

Currently, the noteworthy changes in the staging areas are:

  • Linux kernel 5.0.11
  • GNOME 3.32.1
  • Qt 5.13
  • GCC 9 (phased approach: first switch libraries, then default compiler)
