Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, Last week, the list of things ‘in the makings’ was rather long – yet, I can happily announce that the four snapshots released this week (0909, 0911, 0912 and 0913) contain pretty much what was promised last week. That means no large, unforeseen issues came up which the maintainers did not already anticipate before submission. Great job everybody! So, what DID we get in those 4 snapshots:   * Mesa 12.0.2   * glibc 2.24   * AppStream metadata contains info about translations   * wayland-protocols 1.7 (xdg-shell version 6)   * libvirt 2.2.0   * wireshark 2.2.0   * Linux kernel 4.7.3, fixes CVE-2016-6480 There has been some big item regarding KDE on last weeks announcement. This is currently in openQA and, unless something very weird is found, will be part of the upcoming snapshot 0914. What else is being molded:   * KDE Frameworks 5.26.0 (snapshot 0914+)   * KDE Applications 16.08.1 (snapshot 0914+)   * GNOME 3.22 (3.12.92 in staging, a timely release after the announcement upstream should be possible   * Freetype 2.7 – New subpixel hinting mode. There are currently two known failures that need to be addressed: libgd and python-Pillow. Volunteers welcome   * Linux kernel 4.7.4   * KDE Plasma 5.8 (5.7.90 in staging)   * GNOME 3.22 (3.12.92 in staging, a timely release after the announcement upstream should be possible Those things will keep us all busy for the next couple days again Have a great weekend ahead and remember to always "Have a lot of fun" Cheers, Dominique
