During the first week of November, openSUSE Tumbleweed users have been treated with a lot of goodies, including the latest KDE Plasma 5.8.3 LTS desktop environment, Samba 4.5.0 free software re-implementation of the SMB/CIFS networking protocol, YAST2 (Yet another Setup Tool) 3.2.3, the Epiphany 3.22.2 web browser, and Linux kernel 4.8.6. Another cool update that landed last week in the openSUSE Tumbleweed repositories is the recently released Mesa 13.0.0 3D Graphics Library, which promises much-improved graphics for users of this GNU/Linux distribution. Other updates include BusyBox 1.25.1, btrfs-progs 4.8.2, GTK+ 3.22.2, sudo 1.8.18p1, yast2-storage 3.2.0, Git 2.10.2, fdupes 1.6.1, WebKitGTK+ 2.14.2, and a few other packages from the GNOME 3.22.2 stack.
