But hey, that is exactly what we have openQA for, isn&#8217;t it? So, since my last review, only 2 snapshots have seen the light of day: 1125 and 1129. But as usual, if there is a gap, it only means issues from one snapshot are getting fixed in the next one until it is back in a stage where we can release it to the users.<\/p>\n<p>The important\/interesting changes that happened in those two snapshots were:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Linux kernel 4.14.1 and 4.14.2 (yes, two snapshots, both bring a new kernel. crazy!)<\/li>\n<li>OpenSSL 1.1 is now the default for the distribution. This might cause some update problems, especially if you have development packages installed. The recommendation is to let zypper remove libopenssl-1_0_0-devel (so it can upgrade to 1.1). Depending on what you&#8217;re developing for, you might get other issues reported (for example libQT4-devel, as Qt4 does not support openSSL1.1 and never will)<\/li>\n<li>SCons build system now uses python3 as the interpreter. This can cause some build failures if you SConscript is not python3 compatible.<\/li>\n<li>PostgreSQL 10 has landed<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And the staging areas are full, those things are brewing:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Qt 5.9.3<\/li>\n<li>More packages moving to python3 (minimizing the python2 usage)<\/li>\n<li>Linux Kernel 4.14.3<\/li>\n<li>YaST&#8217;s libstorage-ng implementation<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>An additional note for packagers: As you are aware, the variable suse_version is used to distinguish\u001b between the various openSUSE versions. On December 1st 2017, openSUSE Tumbleweed changed suse_version from 1330 to 1550.
