[opensuse-factory] openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the Weeks 2016/38
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, Another week comes to an end – and what a week this was for Tumbleweed! A full set of 5 snapshots (0914, 0916, 0917, 0920 and 0921) has been released, with some much anticipated and large changes: * KDE Frameworks 5.26.0 * KDE Applications 16.08.1 * GNOME 3.22.0 * Linux Kernel 4.7.4 * gcc 5.4.1 (for the ones still relying on it; the distro is built using gcc 6.2.1) * Vim 8.0 And if all this was not enough yet, there are things already piling up in Staging and Testing areas: * Steam fix: a workaround to get Steam back on the horse for you * Mozilla Firefox 49.0 The following few things moved to the backlog due to insufficient manpower to get resulting issues fixed: * Freetype 2.7: breaks libgd and python(3)-Pillow’s test suites * EMacs 25.1: needs some work in the packaging area to go on a dependency diet With all those updates, don’t forget to still leave your desk once in a while – and in any case: have a lot of fun! Cheers, Dominique

It's great to see a proper workaround/fix for Steam in factory. Folks have already been confirming the 20160924 update resolves the issue and no longer need libnettle & Mesa workaround. Nice to see the fix accepted upstream by openssl as well although who knows when Valve will get around to rebuilding Steam against it, but not much you can do there. Thanks!
