Frameworks, Shotwell, systemd update in Tumbleweed (UPDATED)
Six openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshots have been released since last Friday updating some GNOME applications, KDE’s Frameworks, the LLVM compiler and several other packages.
The rolling release updated several new and some older software packages.
GNOME webcam application cheese updated from version 43.0 to 44.0 in snapshot 20230412. The photo and video program updates translations and avoids creating duplicate camera devices, which was related to GStreamer emitting a call. GNOME’s widow manager Mutter 44 had some changes to make it more resilient and avoid a type of crash on gnome-shell. An update of the development library SDL2 2.26.5 fixed a crash on Linux Kernel if dbus can’t be initialized. It also added mapping for the DualSense Edge Wireless Controller on Linux. An update of apache2 2.4.57 and its subpackages fixed regressions introduced in the previous version. An updated version of yast2-storage-ng 4.6.5 adjusted detection of Dell BOSS devices. AV1 encoder rav1e 0.6.4+0 had the most changes of all the packages that arrived in the snapshot. The package enables AVX2 12-bit Inverse Transform x86 assembly as well as a new SSE4.1 HBD Inverse Transform x86 assembly.

openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2023/15
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
This week we have seen quite a low number of submit requests coming to Tumbleweed, which resulted in the snapshots being built and tested rather quickly and us thus managing to release 8 snapshots in the day (usually the Thursday snapshot is only published later on Friday evening, this week it was all built and tested before lunch). So the 8 snapshots are not something really special. The versioning for snapshots limits us to one snapshot per day after all (and I doubt anybody would ask for more than that).
The snapshots covered in this review are 0406…0413 and contain these changes:
- Apache 2.4.57
- mutter 44.0 git snapshot (44 commits after 44.0: avoid some crashes on gnome-shell)
- KDE Frameworks 5.105.0
- Pipewire 0.3.68
- 389-ds 2.3.2
- Mozilla Firefox 112.0
- Linux kernel 6.2.10
