Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, Tumbleweed went for a small break this week and delivered ‘only’ 4 snapshots (0914, 0915, 0917, and 0920). The large gap happened due to a test suite error in icu, which resulted in all stagings turning red. Once this was resolved, the fix was added in parallel to multiple stagings to resume progress. The 4 delivered snapshots contained some eagerly awaited updates (at least for some): * KDE Plasma 5.27.8 * KDE Gear 23.08.1 * Linux kernel 6.5.3 * GNOME 45.0 * Libproxy 0.5.3 * groff 1.23.0 * PostgreSQL 16.0 The staging projects are mostly moving, a few select issues have been with us for a while by now and block some updates. The things on the list are: * Java 20 OpenJDK will be removed; Java 21 OpenJDK added. Mid-term, we will switch from Java 17 LTS version to Java 21 LTS as the distro default * Linux kernel 6.5.4 * Poppler 23.09.0 * LLVM 17 * Mesa 23.1.8 * cmake 3.27.5 * FMT 10: breaks mariadb boo#1213219 and ceph boo#1213217; help welcome Cheers, Dominique
