Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, While a lot of people were having fun during openSUSE’s Hackweek 0x10 (Edition 16), Tumbleweed kept on rolling (mostly) – and I am sure we will soon see the various fruits from this hackweek. SUSE engineers having fun does not equate with fewer changes in Tumbleweed: there have been 7 snapshots released since my last review (1109, 1111, 1112, 1113, 1114, 1115 and 1116, which hit the mirrors just moments ago) The list of changes is as you expect: overwhelming. And we successfully delivered again on our promise to give you a ‘stable, rolling, up-to- date distribution’: * Mesa 17.2.4, followed shortly after by 17.2.5 * Linux kernel 4.13.12 * Mozilla Firefox 57 * KDE Plasma 5.11.3 * KDE Applications 17.08.3 * KDE Frameworks 5.40.0 * Java 10 tech preview The staging areas are already all filled up again and contain those interesting changes/updates: * Linux kernel 4.14.0 * openSSL 1.1 as default (will probably still be a bit) * PostgreSQL 10 (some package conflicts to be worked out) * Java OpenJDK 1.7 will be removed from Tumbleweed (there is still 1.8, 9 and 10 there for you) * The efforts to get YaST/libstorage-ng ready are going to be resumed Cheers, Dominique
