Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
First things first: WE DID IT !!!
The latest released Tumbleweed snapshot has been completely rebuilt
using GCC 5.1 compiler suite. The switch is now complete and GCC 5 is
the default compiler. There had been some nasty hidden bugs here and
there that had all been fixed, which is why it took a little longer to
get the snapshot out. But better tested/failed in openQA than
tested/failed on your own machine, right?
In these two weeks, of course, we did not stand still and we still
accepted submissions (to some degree) to move Tumbleweed forward. We
did not just want to give you the 'same, but rebuilt'.
Besides GCC 5, these also happened:
* KDE Framework 5.11.0
* Some kernel/btrfs fixes (still at version 4.0.5, 4.1 should come soon
though)
What's being prepared in stagings now?
* Perl 5.22 update [0]
* Network Manager 1.0.2
* Plasma 5.3.2
Of course none of those are as big as GCC 5 (maybe perl is; some of
it's deprecations might cause pain, like "defined(@array)" which has
been deprecated since 2012 and now is no longer supported )
