  "textContent": "Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,\n\nIt’s been a productive and busy week for Tumbleweed—and for **openQA** in particular. We threw 7 snapshots at the engines, and 6 were confirmed and published (**0305, 0306, 0307, 0308, 0310, and 0311**).\n\nSnapshot **0309** was the first to include **systemd 259.3** , and openQA was not happy at all. The culprit turned out to be a missing sync with the SELinux policies. Once the policies were updated in snapshot 0310, openQA was (mostly) satisfied. A few additional policy tweaks were pushed via the update channel to ensure we didn’t block the snapshot pipeline any longer than necessary.\n\nThose 6 snapshots brought you these changes:\n\n  * bind 9.20.20\n  * gstreamer 1.28.1\n  * iptables 1.8.13\n  * shadow 4.19.4\n  * PackageKit 1.3.4\n  * KDE Gear 25.12.3\n  * Linux kernel 6.19.6 & kernel longterm 6.18.16\n  * libvirt 12.1.0\n  * GCC 16 is providing the base libraries, such as libgcc_s1. The system compiler is still version 15 for the time being\n  * Pipewire 1.6.1\n  * systemd 259.3\n  * Mozilla Firefox 148.0.2\n  * postfix 3.11.1\n\n\n\nThe future holds these changes, once they pass QA:\n\n  * Mesa 26.0.2\n  * cURL 8.19.0\n  * systemd 259.4\n  * Switch default bootloader on uefi systems to systemd-boot (aligning tumbleweed to microos)\n  * GCC 16 as the default compiler\n  * GNOME 50: RC is staged for QA; release planned by upstream for March 18\n  * glibc 2.43: metabug: https://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1257250\n\n",
