We’ve already reported last week that openSUSE Tumbleweed was the first stable GNU/Linux distribution to include the recently released GNOME 3.22 desktop environment, and the openSUSE team now reveals the fact that KDE Plasma 5.8 LTS is coming soon as well, along with Bash 4.4, Qt 5.7, Mono 4.6, and FreeType 2.7. Among other noteworthy packages that landed in the openSUSE Tumbleweed repositories during the past week, we can mention the very important OpenSSL 1.0.2j security fix release, Mozilla Firefox 49.0.1 web browser, Mesa 12.0.3 3D Graphics Library, and OSTree 2016.10 tool. Some GNOME apps were updated as well.
