openSUSE Project's Douglas DeMaio reports today, April 27, 2017, on the updates and improvements that landed in the software repositories during this week, brought by a total of four snapshots.

Quite a bunch of goodies are now available in the OpenSuSE Tumbleweed repos, including updated Google (google-croscore-fonts) and Adobe (adobe-sourcehansans-fonts) fonts, the Brasero 3.12.2 CD/DVD burning software, as well as cppunit 1.14.0, hardlink 1.0+git.e66999f, perl-Image-ExifTool 10.50, and tmux 2.4.

"Users can get a fix for the CD/DVD burning software Brasero, which provided a patch for Grub2 that fixes builds with the GNU Composite Compilers, and kdebase4-workspace offers a diff to fix an error reported by GCC7, which should be helpful as Tumbleweed works closer to adapt the newest GCC," said Douglas DeMaio.
