Hi people of Factory I am prepairing an article about 13.2 beta release so I would like to know what is new and what changed since 13.1, please share.
== Multimedia == cdrtools is available. This provides the original mkisofs, cdrecord, and a few other utilities related to optical media writing and extraction. cdrecord supports DVD-, DVD+ and BluRay all in one program, and there are numberous bugfixes over cdrkit(-cdrtools-compat), which last used the same program invocation names. == Development == gcc-4.9 is available as a preview feature (package name: gcc49) and can be installed concurrently with the default gcc that is shipped (4.8). Furthermore, cross compiler packages are now shipped for 4.9. For example, "cross-ppc64-gcc49" permits building of powerpc kernels from other platforms. (There is also an "icecream backend" for it, but it is not sufficient for build real programs directly like the mingw suite would.) LMDB is shipped as an alternative to BerkeleyDB (bdb/libdb). Developers alike are encouraged to switch to it. With only few API changes, it is significantly more performant, and also has a license that is more comfortable with developers. LibreSSL is provided as a preview. == Desktop == KDE5. Qupzilla browser: slim Webkit-based browser in classic style. == Hardware/Scientific == InfiniBand support libraries have been added back. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
