Distribution Release: openSUSE 16.0 |
|
The openSUSE project ha released a new version of the distribution's stable (Leap) branch. openSUSE 16.0 Leap offers support through to 2032 and fixes the year 2038 date bug. This release also include a new system installer and provide parallel package downloads: "Leap 16 as a community-supported platform will shape open-source development breakthroughs and real-world solutions in the years ahead. The release is 2038 safe and comes with 32-bit (ia32) support disabled by default. It gives users the option to enable it manually and enjoy gaming with Steam, which still relies on 32-bit libraries. The hardware requirements have changed. Leap 16 now requires x86-64-v2 as a minimum CPU architecture level, which generally means CPUs bought in 2008 or later. Users with older hardware can migrate to Slowroll or Tumbleweed. Leap 16 channels community and enterprise distribution code by building on the foundation of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES), bringing source and binary identicality with it. Users have the option to seamlessly migrate from openSUSE Leap 16 to SLES 16. Developers can use openSUSE Leap to create, test and run workloads for later deployment on SLES. Leap 16 ships with the new Agama installer, which offers a more modern setup experience over the deprecated YaST-based installer." Additional details can be found in the release announcement.

Development Release: openSUSE 16.0 RC |
|
The openSUSE project has published a release candidate for the upcoming Leap 16.0 version. The new snapshot presents a new system installer, offers Xfce running on a Wayland session, and removes YaST packages from the default install. "Leap 16.0 is using the latest Agama for both online and offline installation aside. You can get install images at get.opensuse.org. Alternatively, users can pick one of our appliance images. We offer only Wayland-based Desktop Environments in the installer. Xfce on Wayland has recently joined the list. Thanks to the openSUSE Xfce team, we’re among the first to deliver it as an experimental preview to users. The Xfce mailing list was quite active as we were getting closer to RC. Users can enjoy the minimalistic Wayland-friendly greetd and gtkgreet as a replacement for LightDM. Get the Leap 16.0 install image and try it out! Please be aware that the Wayland support in Xfce is experimental and there are plenty of issues." This snapshot also switches from AppArmor to SELinux for system access control. Further details are available in the project's release announcement.

Development Release: openSUSE 16.0 Beta |
|
The openSUSE project has announced the availability of openSUSE 16.0 beta, a development snapshot previewing features coming in the next version of the project's stable Leap branch. Many of the key changes focus on removing legacy packages. "Leap 16.0 with its fresh fork brings a renewed foundation and cleaner system. Expected to be Wayland-only (some X.Org remnants remain for now). SysV init support has been dropped. The new Agama installer is now the default. The traditional YaST stack is retired in favor of: Cockpit for system management; Myrlyn as a drop-in replacement for the YaST Software GUI. (Note: YaST is still available in Tumbleweed but will no longer be developed; YaST has been removed from Leap 16 and Myrlyn takes on this role of software installation like YaST. If someone is interested in the maintenance of YaST for further development and bug fixes, the source are available on GitHub. Leap 16.0 will no longer run on machines that do not support x86_64-v2."

Distribution Release: openSUSE 15.6 |
|
The openSUSE project has published a new update to the distribution's Leap branch. openSUSE 15.6 Leap will be supported through to the end of 2025 and features a number of enhancements to remote administration tools and container management utilities: "The inclusion of the Cockpit package in openSUSE Leap 15.6 represents a significant enhancement in system and container management capabilities for users. This integration into Leap 15.6 improves usability and access as well as providing a link between advanced system administration and user-friendly operations from the web browser. The addition underscores openSUSE’s commitment to providing powerful tools that cater to both professionals and hobbyists. Leap does not come with a SELinux policy, so SELinux capabilities for Cockpit are not functioning. Container technologies receive a boost with Podman 4.8, which includes tailored support for Nextcloud through quadlets, alongside the latest releases of Distrobox, Docker, python-podman, Skopeo, containerd, libcontainers-common, ensuring a robust container management system. Virtualization technologies are also enhanced, featuring updates to Xen 4.18, KVM 8.2.2, libvirt 10.0, and virt-manager 4.1."

Development Release: openSUSE 15.6 RC |
|
The openSUSE project has entered its release candidate phase for Leap version 15.6. The new release will include a number of new features, such as Cockpit for remote administration. "Users who are eager to install Leap 15.6 on their machines should check the release’s known issues to see if there is any issue that prevents the use of the RC. The release team was able to deliver a long time awaited Cockpit for both Leap and SUSE Package Hub users. Users might be familiar with Cockpit’s web-based admin interface from Leap Micro tutorials. Users are advised not to publicly expose Port 9090 used with the admin interface; just like people shouldn’t expose their router’s web interface to the public. Previous attempts to include Cockpit in Leap 15.5 were made, but there were several blockers. Inclusion was possible thanks to a refresh of the Python 3.11 stack, which was part of massive update effort for SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 15 Service Pack 6 along with unification branding. The team was able to build Cockpit once and provide it for both SLES and Leap users with this RC." Additional details on the new Cockpit feature can be found in openSUSE's release announcement.

Development Release: openSUSE 15.5 Beta |
|
Douglas DeMaio has announced the availability of the beta release of openSUSE 15.5, a distribution also known as "Leap" and developed in parallel with SUSE Linux Enterprise (SLE). The release is available for the x86_64, aarch64, PowerPC and s390x architectures. "Leap 15.5 reaches beta phase. The version will offer some newer software versions, but the release is not a feature release. Packages like a newer Mesa and having the OpenH264 repository enabled by default for all new Leap 15.5 installations is planned. Another new element for Leap 15.5 is a migration option. A new single-click migration streamlines a migration process that took three steps in previous openSUSE Leap releases. The users that want to migrate from previous releases or 15.5 alpha can install openSUSE-repos-Leap, which comes with the repo definition and it utilizes zypp services for repo management, although this feature is not enabled by default. However, a zypper-migration-plugin implementation as the main request on the Graphical User Interface has been fulfilled into a separate element related to SUSE Linux Enterprise 15 Service Pack 5."

Distribution Release: openSUSE 15.4 |
|
The openSUSE team has announced the launch of openSUSE 15.4 Leap, the latest version of their distribution which shares a package base with SUSE Linux Enterprise. One of the points of focus for the new version is easier access to media codecs and hardware drivers. "This version of Leap simplifies multimedia codec installation. Progress has been made to bring Cisco's openh264 video codecs to users via a repository present by default on the system, which will come in a maintenance update. The release not only gains muiltimedia improvements; it gains open-source driver support. Besides AMD's and Intel's continual open-source Linux graphics drivers commitment, users of modern NVIDIA GPUs will benefit from it signing firmware images for the latest-generation GeForce 30 series GPUs." Additional information can be found in the project's release announcement and on the features page. Download (pkglist): openSUSE-Leap-15.4-DVD-x86_64-Media.iso (3,894MB, SHA256, torrent), openSUSE-Leap-15.4-NET-x86_64-Media.iso (173MB, SHA256, torrent). |
