Weekly Tumbleweed Reports

GNOME 41 has reached openSUSE Factory staging and KDE’s Plasma 5.23 is nearing a release in an openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshot as it progresses through staging.

openSUSE’s rolling release turned out four snapshots this week and updated software packages like Mesa, curl, catfish, PipeWire, Perl and more.

The 20210928 snapshot improved the transferring of data via an update of curl 7.79.1, which made it work with OpenSSH 8.7; the command line tool and library also adjusted a setup to not change connection data upon repeat invokes. An update of inkscape 1.1.1 fixed a crash and improved the startup time of the graphics editor application. Two other packages updated in the snapshot were yast2-network 4.4.26 and yast2-nfs-client 4.4.1; the latter had an update that supports systemd mount options in fstab.

Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

After the massive update in the last week due to a full rebuild caused by glibc 2.34, this week seems ‘somewhat’ quieter. Or at least from a Release manager PoV less involvement hungry. Yet, we managed to release 5 snapshots during this week (0923, 0924, 0926, 0927, and 0928).
