Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,

Another week has passed – and we’re almost at the end of the year. During the last week we have released 4 snapshots for Tumbleweed (1206, 1207, 1210 and 1211) containing those noteworthy changes:

gpg 2.2.18

libvirt 5.10.0

linux-glibc-devel 5.4

Mozilla Thunderbird 68.3.0

bluez 5.52

libxml 2.9.10

createrepo_c 0.15.4: beware: it is very strict and blocks any snapshot if there is a package with non-UTF8 chars or ASCII < 32 (except 9, 10 and 13) in a changelog. Double check your .changes files before submitting.

GNOME 3.34.2

KDE Plasma 5.17.4

Thins that are currently being worked on and will be reaching you sooner or later:

KDE Applications 19.12.0 (Snapshot 1213+)

Qt 5.14.0

Linux kernel 5.4.1

Python 3.8

RPM 4.15.0

Rust 1.39.0: Still breaks the build of Firefox and Thunderbird

This is the last week before a lot of people will disappear on Christmas break all around. A lot of people – but not all! Tumbleweed will keep on rolling also during the next weeks.
