OpenSUSE Tumbleweed Lands Wayland 1.12, Qt 5.7

Written by Michael Larabel in SUSE on 13 October 2016 at 08:28 AM EDT. 3 Comments

There are a number of exciting package updates for the openSUSE Tumbleweed rolling-release Linux distribution.

The recently-released Wayland 1.12 has landed in openSUSE Tumbleweed, but as far as I know the GNOME or KDE editions of Tumbleweed are yet to use Wayland by default.

The latest openSUSE Tumbleweed also has Qt 5.7, LibreOffice 5.2.2.2, Digikam 5.2.0, and FreeType 2.7. The FreeType 2.7 update is also exciting for its font rendering improvements.

The Linux 4.8 kernel is also currently being staged for Tumbleweed.
