openSUSE News: Mesa, Git, Gear, More Update in Tumbleweed (UPDATED)
The rolling release continues fastforwarding daily with new versions of software.
The most recent snapshot is 20220824 and it updated the Linux Bluetooth protocol bluez 5.65; the package fixed a few Advanced Audio Distribution Profile issues and added experimental support for ISO sockets. The 4.16.2 version of hypervisor xen dropped several patches contained in the new tarball including a CLFLUSH work around for AMD x86. The new xen update fixes a few Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures. There were a few updates related to Vulkan like an update of shaderc 2022.2, which added support for 16b-bit-types in High-Level Shader Language. There were also updates to vulkan-loader and vulkan-tools 1.3.224.0. The OpenGL and OpenGL for Embedded Systems shader glslang 11.11.0 added OpSource support and avoids a double-free in functions clone for vulkan in relaxed mode.
Mesa and its drivers package updated to version 22.1.7 in snapshot 20220823. The 3d graphics libraryâs new version had fixes and cleanups all over the tree; most of the fixes were for the Zink driver that emits Vulkan Application Programming Interface calls. Several YaST packages updated in the snapshot. There were some adjustments made with yast2-storage-ng 4.5.8 to adapt to new types of mounts by libstorage-ng, and yast2-network 4.5.5 added a class to generate the configuration needed for Fibre Channel over Ethernet. Other packages to update in the snapshot were transactional-update 4.0.1, autoyast2 4.5.3 and many other libraries.
[...]
Among the packages to update were KDE Gear 22.08.0, which allows you to sort files also by file extension with Dolphin.

openSUSE Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2022/34 – Dominique a.k.a. DimStar (Dim*)
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
This week, Tumbleweed made the impossible possible: we have published 8 daily snapshots in just 7 days. Of course, the timing was a bit on our side: the snapshot that started building yesterday went so quickly through build and QA that it already managed to be published. In any case, the daily streak continued all along (now at 22 â a new all-time record).
