Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, Week 33 was busy, but busy in a good way. We managed to clear almost all stagings out, except the ‘long lasting’ topics like GCC, and dbus- broker, which we carried for a few weeks already. Other than that, the queue has been emptied (At the time of writing, there are now 54 pending requests to Factory). Summer vacation helped us achieve this result. And the fact, that we produced 7 snapshots (one discarded) during the last week. The six published snapshots (0809, 0810, 0811, 0812, 0813, and 0815) brought you those changes: * GCC 13.3.1 * glibc 2.40 * KDE Frameworks 6.5.0 * Mozilla Firefox 129.0 * NetworkManager 1.48.8 * binutils 2.43 * cURL 8.9.1 * Linux kernel 6.10.4 * GO 1.22 has become the new default Go compiler version * FFMPEG default has switched from version 6 to version 7 As mentioned, stagings are almost empty – the few things currently left are: * Linux kernel 6.10.5 * dbus-broker: some progress was made last week; most QA tests are fine, there is just a race condition on shutdown (likely not new, but dbus-daemon might have waited longer to report it, by when the system had completely shut down and the error has been ‘swallowed’) * GCC 14: phase 2: use gcc14 as the default compiler – great progress has been made and we believe we will be able to switch during Week 34 Cheers, Dominique
