openSUSE Tumbleweed is a rolling release GNU/Linux distribution, so it’s always getting new components via so-called snapshots. Just last week we told you the Tumbleweed is based on Linux kernel 4.7.2, and now one more snapshot arrive in the repositories this week, and it’s the first for the month of September, bringing updates for some of the most important applications. Therefore, openSUSE Tumbleweed snapshot 20160901 adds the Mozilla Firefox 48.0.2 web browser, Mozilla Thunderbird 45.3.0 email and news client, GNU Mailman 2.1.23, as well as an updated toolchain that includes the GCC (GNU Compiler Collection) 6.2.1, libgcj-gcc6 6.2.1, GNU Binutils 2.27, elfutils 0.167, and python-setuptools 26.1.1 packages.
