Highlights

  • Backporting to r4.2
  • Fedora 41 XFCE template for r4.2
  • Packaging for Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat)

Details

In addition to the usual minor fixes and patches:

  • Linux Kernels v6.11.10-1-latest, v6.11.8-1-latest, v5.15.173-1 TLS, v6.6.63-1 stable (r4.2 &
    r4.3)
    . I am almost certain that there was an issue with the usual weekly kernel releases. So we see more than 1 kernel latest release this week. I did not manage to find the exact problem in related discussions.
    . The release notes for 6.6.63 are here and for 6.11.10 here.

  • salt v3006.9-3 (r4.3)
    . Building for Ubuntu 24.04 (Noble Numbat) is started

  • app-linux-input-proxy v1.0.40 (r4.3)
    . Ability to filter qubes input devices with udev rules
    . Fixing an issue with emulated tablet pointing devices

The below packages are all only specific to r4.2 and mostly backporting of existing features and improvements of r4.3 which are now coming to r4.2 after a short period. I am not going to list all the details as they were discussed in previous versions of this newsletter.

Epilogue

Users on r4.2 should receive tons of highly noticeable changes very soon after a short testing period. Be prepared to embrace the changes.

Kinda, I pushed 6.11.8 (PR made by the bot) for building before noticing there is already 6.11.10 available (including fix for Qubes OS 4.2.3 iso stucks during boot before installation process · Issue #9590 · QubesOS/qubes-issues · GitHub), so I pushed .10 just after that.
