It appears that a total of six snapshots have been released for openSUSE Tumbleweed since our last report on August 17, and users received some of the latest GNU/Linux and Open Source software, including the latest Linux 4.7.2 kernel, LibreOffice 5.2.1.4, VirtualBox 5.1.4, Pango 1.40.2, GTK+ 3.20.9, Poppler 0.47, wayland-protocols 1.6, kernel-firmware 20160824, PHP 5.6.25, GNOME Shell 3.20.4, and Mozilla Firefox 48.0.1. Moreover, the KDE Plasma 5.7.4 desktop environment landed too, along with the Applications 16.08.0 software suite and KDE Frameworks 5.25.0 collection of add-ons for Qt5. Software like YaST, Ceph, FFmpeg 3, GRUB2, Xen, GNOME Map, ModemManager, and cryptsetup have been updated as well, the latter adding better disk encryption to the GNU/Linux operating system.
