If you're using the openSUSE Tumbleweed operating system on your personal computer, we'd like to inform you today about the latest software updates that arrived in the distro's repositories during last week and the first days of this one.

According to OpenSuSE's Douglas DeMaio latest report, it would appear that a total of six snapshots have been published since last time we told you what goodies arrived for Tumbleweed, and they brought even more of the latest GNU/Linux and Open Source technologies.

For example, the operating system is now powered by Linux kernel 4.9.7, and users have also received the latest NetworkManager 1.6.0, NetworkManager-applet 1.4.4, GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 6.3.1, Mercurial 4.1, Wine 2.1, Epiphany 3.22.6, Krita 3.1.2.1, Snapper 0.4.3, GStreamer 1.10.3, as well as Vulkan 1.0.39.1.

"Six Tumbleweed snapshots this week brought users newer versions of GStreamer, Wine, Vulkan, and a new Linux Kernel. The new 4.9.7 kernel arrived over the weekend with the 20170204 snapshot," said DeMaio. "The new kernel sources updated config files and fixed a build failure specific to DWARF (Debugging with Attributed Records Format)."

Users are urged to update their systems at their earliest convenience

Among other packages that have been updated during the last few days in the openSUSE Tumbleweed repositories, we can mention libvirt-python 3.0.0, Perl-Bootloader 0.917, yast2-installation 3.2.20, python-cryptography 1.7.2, getdata 0.10.0 DDclient 3.8.3, vm-install 0.8.60, and ca-certificates-mozilla 2.11.

It also looks like there's the new VirtualBox 5.1.14 update that adds support for the latest Release Candidate of the Linux 4.10 kernel, and cups-filters 1.13.3, fprintd 0.7.0, xauth 1.0.10, xconsole 1.0.7, xkeyboard-config 2.20, hxtools 20170114, isl 0.18, libpinyin 1.7.0, sgml-skel 0.7.1, and many YaST2 packages have landed as well.

Users are urged to update their systems to the latest snapshot, which at the moment of writing is 20170207, if they want to receive all the goodies mentioned above and more. Considering the fact that there's a new kernel version, it is recommended to reboot your machine(s) after installing the new snapshots.
