Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, This week, the openSUSE/LibreOffice conference has started, but Tumbleweed did not let itself be stopped by that. During this week, we have seen 5 snapshots being published (1008, 1009, 1011, 1012, and 1014). The most relevant changes included: * Mozilla Firefox 81.0.1 * Linux kernel 5.8.14 * LibreOffice 7.0.2rc2 * GNOME 3.36.7 * KDE Applications 20.08.2 * KDE Frameworks 5.75.0 * KDE Plasma 5.20.0 This is mostly as announced last week about the upcoming things. This leaves us currently with these major changes left in planning/staging: * GNOME 3.38.1 (mozjs78 has since been improved, but is not yet available in Tumbleweed) * Mesa 20.2 (The transparency issues seem to be fixed in combination with Plasma 5.20.0, so it’s shaping up well) * openssl 1.1.1h (neon (gh#notroj/neon#38 issue still valid, but the maintainer debugged and accepted the test failures) * openssl 3.0 (long-term; no progress in the last few weeks) * RPM 4.16: steady progress made with package fixes. * nasm 2.15.4: breaks dav1d, firefox, and thunderbird (which both ship embedded dav1d) * libmicrohttpd 0.9.71: breaks pcp and libyui * jsoncpp 1.9.4: breaks libyui Cheers, Dominique
