Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, Week 44 is over – and with it, about 83% of the year 2023. What does that mean for Tumbleweed? Not really much, as it just keeps rolling from snapshot to snapshot. And during this week, you have received 6 of those (1026, 1028, 1029, 1030, 1031, and 1101). 1027 had been discarded due to crashes identified in XFCE (xfconf 4.18.2 – which was reverted to 4.18.1 for 1028) The six delivered snapshots brought you the following updates: * LLVM 17.0.3 * Qemu 8.1.2 * VLC 3.0.19 * Boost 1.83.0 * systemd: Ship the main configuration files in /usr/lib/; this change will hopefully encourage users to customize the defaults via drop-ins instead of changing the main config files * Linux kernel 6.5.9 * openSSL 3.1.4 * PHP 8.2.12 * Mozilla Firefox 119.0 * shadow 4.14.2 * strace & linux-glibc-devel 6.6: getting ready for Kernel 6.6 * Poppler 23.10.0 As usual, a new snapshot is already in QA, and more changes are piling up. These things have been staged by now: * gnome-shell/mutter 45.1 * libxml2 2.11.5 (you remember, we already had that a while back in the list. This time it is happening) * xfconf 4.18.3 * libvirt 9.9.0 * fwupd 1.9.7 * binutils 2.41: libqt5-qtwebengine runs OOM when linking on i586 * Linux kernel 6.6 Cheers, Dominique
