Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers, Week 41 felt rather ‘quiet’, don’t know why.. it’s not as if nothing would have happened. There were, after all, 5 snapshots released (1005, 1006, 1007, 1009 and 1010), delivering on the promises from last week. Those snapshots contained those noteworthy updates: * GNOME 3.26.1 * KDE Plasma 5.11 * Linux Kernel 4.13.5 * Mozilla Firefox 56 (not for i586!) * Mesa 17.2.2 * Zypper 1.13.37: if you keep on runing ‘zypper up’ with this on Tumbleweed, you will get a warning that this is not the correct way. You stay in control, but at least we can refer to: I told you so. There are quite some larger things happening in Staging, which is why we opened two new staging projects (Staging:N and Staging:O) * openSSL 1.1 as default (Staging:N) * Remove python2 from a default installation (Staging:O) * PostgreSQL 10 is still on the todo (the submitted packages are not all installable) * Linux Kernel 4.13.6 Besides all this progress, please take note that various openSUSE services will not be avaialble on the weekend OCt 14/15, as was announced here: https://goo.gl/Xkmcy9 Cheers, Dominique
