The new location is in agreement with RPM upstream and acknowledges the right integration of the RPM database to the \/usr directory structure.\u00a0 Furthermore, this will allow for cleaner backup solutions\/filesystem rollback scenarios (\/var contains files you do not want to roll back. like your sales database)<\/li>\n<li>WebKit 2 GTK 2.18.2: as you can expect from a web engine, there are frequently a number of security issues fixed. Upgrades are strongly recommended.<\/li>\n<li>GNOME 3.26.2<\/li>\n<li>openjpeg 2.3.0<\/li>\n<li>FFmpeg 3.4<\/li>\n<li>git 2.15.0<\/li>\n<li>Linux kernel 4.13.11<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are still many things brewing. Take note though that SUSE is holding the <a href=\"http:\/\/hackweek.suse.com\/\">16th <\/a>hackweek, and some things might move a bit slower (or faster, depending what everybody decides to do during this week). Noteworthy plans are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Mesa 17.2.4 (part of the next snapshot to be released)<\/li>\n<li>Introduction of PostgreSQL 10: this has been on the list for a while, but due to the complex changes rthat were done, the packages are not yet fully installable without trouble.<\/li>\n<li>Move to OpenSSL\u001b 1.1: work is ongoing to reach this goal<\/li>\n<li>Linux kernel 4.13.12<\/li>\n<li>KDE Plasma 5.11.3<\/li>\n<li>Java 10 tech preview<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keep the things coming, and if you&#8217;re part of the hackweek, happy hacking! I&#8217;m curious to see all the nice projects to come out of this again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, This week we only had 4 snapshots.
