Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
After last week being filled with problems, this week felt like a
‘relaxing one’ – not that there would be fewer changes incoming, but we
could focus on those changes instead of cuddling the infrastructure.
And so it comes that we managed to publish 5 snapshots during this week
(1119, 1121, 1123, 1124, and 1125).
The most interesting changes included:
* GNOME 3.38.1 – it took a while, but at last, it’s there
* KDE Frameworks 5.76.0
* Pango 1.48.0
* Mozilla Thunderbird 78.5.0
* binutils 2.35.1
* pam 1.5.0
* Mesa 20.2.3
* Linux kernel 5.9.10
* Qt 5.15.2
And as usual, Tumbleweed does not stop rolling, and staging areas are
currently filled with these changes:
* GNOME 3.38.2
* Linux kernel 5.9.11
* brp-check-suse: a bug fix in how it detected dangling symlinks (it
detected them, but did not fail as it was supposed to)
* permissions package: prepares for easier listing, while supporting
a full /usr merge
* RPM 4.16: still a few packages build failures
* Ruby 3.0: mainly YaST not ready for that switch
* First experiments with rpmlint 2.0 started in Staging:M
* openssl 3.0: currently alpha 9 in Staging:O
Cheers,
Dominique
