Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
We have seen a lengthy rebuild phase of one snapshot due to Perl being
upgraded to 5.32, which required all Perl modules to be rebuilt for
them to install to the right location. Despite this delay, we still
managed to publish three snapshots (1029, 1030, and 1104).
The most relevant changes as part of these snapshots includes:
* poppler 20.10.0 (new version format, last was 0.99.0)
* polkit 0.118, using spidermonkey 78
* KDE Plasma 5.20.2
* LibreOffice 7.0.3.1
* LXQt 0.16.0
* LLVM 11
* Perl 5.32.0
As usual, the staging projects are in full swing and the next snapshots
are already being built. Planned changes include:
* AppArmor 3.0
* Linux kernel 5.9.6
* Binutils 2.35
* GLibc will be configured with CET enabled (Intel Control-flow
Enforcement Technology)
* RPM 4.16 (Staging:A – some help to fix issues is welcome)
* Ruby 3.0: mainly YaST not ready for that switch
* GNOME 3.38.1: awaiting sec review for malcontent (parental control
feature)
* openssl 3.0 (long-term; no progress in the last few weeks)
Cheers,
Dominique
