Only three snapshots saw the light of day since last week, but they brought some major package updated to the openSUSE Tumbleweed rolling distribution. First off, the graphics stack was updated to the latest Mesa 17.1.3 3D Graphics Library, which should add an extra layer of performance improvements for better gaming with AMD Radeon or Intel GPUs. GStreamer 1.12.1 is another important update that landed in the openSUSE Tumbleweed repos, improving the multimedia framework used by numerous video and audio players that you may or may not use on your operating system. Besides these two updates, there’s also Apache 2.4.26 and Squid 3.5.26 for users interested in deploying openSUSE Tumbleweed as a server.
