But thanks to our genius maintainers, the issue could be found, fixed and integrated into Tumbleweed (and this despite being busy with <a href=\"http:\/\/hackweek.suse.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">hackweek<\/a>! A great THANK YOU!). Despite those canceled snapshots, this review will still span 4 revisions: 0216, 0218, 0219 and 0224. And believe me, there have been quite some things coming your way.<\/p>\n<p>The most impacting were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Linux kernel 4.9.10 &#038; 4.9.11<\/li>\n<li>Python 3.6<\/li>\n<li>Mesa 17.0<\/li>\n<li>KDE Plasma 5.9.2<\/li>\n<li>Libreoffice 5.3.0.3<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Python 3.6 did cause some trouble for users of applications beyond the rings (remember: only ring-packages are tested on integration of any updated package).
