Peter Czanik: A call for testing the upcoming syslog-ng releases
While no dates are set to stone yet, we expect a couple of syslog-ng releases in the near future. As version 4.8.1 is used in major GNU/Linux distributions and has a couple of known bugs, we will release 4.8.2 to address those. However, we are also working on 4.9.0, which will bring many changes.

For those of you how don’t know, foss-north is an annual conference held every spring in Gothenburg, Sweden. It is split into a community day, and then two conference days.

GNU Taler ☛ 2025-14: iOS wallet security audit completed
RadicallyOpenSecurity performed an external crystal-box security audit of the GNU Taler iOS wallet (excluding wallet-core) funded by NGI. You can find the final report here. We already addressed all significant findings except enabling FaceID/TouchID to enable using the app which remains a feature on our roadmap to be addressed in the next few months. We thank RadicallyOpenSecurity for their work and the European Commission's Horizion 2020 NGI initiative for funding the development of the iOS wallet including the security review.
