Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, Tumbleweed has been strong and unstoppable: for the 2nd week in a row we have published daily snapshots, i.e. 7 snapshots since the late review. Snapshots were numbered 1125…1201. The noteworthy changes in those snapshots were: * PCRE2 10.39 * Mozilla Firefox 94.0.2 * gpg 2.3.3 * virtualbox 6.1.30 * fprintd 1.94.1 * Ruby CVE fixes: ruby 2.7.5 & ruby 3.0.3 * Linux kernel 5.15.5 * bash 5.1.12: /bin/sh is no longer managed using update- alternatives, but comes as part of bash-sh or alternative *-sh packages (currently only busybox-sh as alternative) * Tumbleweed moved suse_version from 1550 to 1599 to avoid a possible conflict on internal config files of build with the upcming SLE15SP5/Leap 15.5 plans Changes that are currently being built/tested in upcoming snapshots and stagings: * KDE Plasma 5.23.4 * Automake 1.16.5 * Mesa 21.3.1 * Poppler 21.11.0 * Linux kernel 5.15.6 * Harfbuzz 3.1.1: NOTE: this has an ABI break over 2.9.x, but Leap/SLE are moving as well and biting the bullet, and other distros do too * GCC 11: Enable the full cross compiler, cross-aarch64-gcc11 and cross-riscv64-gcc11 now provide a fully hosted C (and C++) cross compiler, not just a freestanding one * cmake 3.22.0 * Moving default php version from php7 to php8 * Testing the results when moving system ruby from 2.7 to 3.0 * pipewire 0.3.40, with a move to from pipewire-media-session to wireplumber; currently failing openQA * openSSL 3.0 Cheers, Dominique
