Four more snapshots have been released for openSUSE Tumbleweed since our last report, and they brought some interesting things, among which we can mention the Linux 4.8.10 kernel, Oracle’s VirtualBox 5.1.10 virtualization software, Vim 8.0.0092 advanced text editor, and Mozilla Thunderbird to 45.5.0 email and news client. There are also some good news for those who use the KDE Plasma desktop environment, as the latest maintenance update of the LTS (Long Term Support) series has landed as well in the repositories of openSUSE Tumbleweed, dubbed KDE Plasma 5.8.4, and ImageMagick was updated to version 6.9.6.5.
