Dominique Leuenberger from the openSUSE Project reported at the end of last week about the latest updated packages that arrived in the stable repositories for the openSUSE Tumbleweed rolling Linux operating system.

openSUSE Tumbleweed users are always getting the newest software releases, and it looks like during the week that passed, they received a bunch of interesting goodies, starting with the rest of the packages from the GNOME 3.22.2 Stack, which means that they can now enjoy a full-featured GNOME 3.22.2 desktop environment, and continuing with the KDE Applications 16.08.3 software suite for KDE Plasma 5.8 users.

"Now this is a week I call fully rolling. There was a full 7 snapshots since the last review – which is about the maximum we can do in a week with one snapshot per day (or we have to change the versioning to not be only 'date' based). So, this review is about the snapshots {20161110..20161116}," wrote Dominique Leuenberger in his weekly review.

KDE Frameworks 5.28.0 and Mozilla Firefox 50.0 to land soon in Tumbleweed

Apart from the new software releases mentioned above, OpenSuSE Tumbleweed users have also received the recently released digiKam 5.3.0 open-source and cross-platform image editor and organizer, fixed Boost libraries for better Python 3 integration, Linux kernel 4.8.7, Wireshark 2.2.2 network protocol analyzer, and VirtualBox 5.1.8 virtualization tool, which, for some reason, lays the groundwork for Linux kernel 4.9.

The last openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshot released for the week of November 14 is 20161119, which introduces a new YaST version, but users should expect to get many other cool things during the week that starts today, among which we can mention KDE Frameworks 5.28.0, Mozilla Firefox 50.0 web browser, and Mesa 13.0.1 3D Graphics Library. Make sure that you update your Tumbleweed PC soon to get all these goodies.
