Highlights
- Work on QWT and Wayland (KDE Plasma) is on track and ongoing.
- Interesting updates on community templates.
Details
In addition to the usual minor fixes and patches (full list here):
-
core-vchan-xen v4.2.7 (r4.2 & r4.3)
. Extensive list of PRs related to QWT support for Windows 10 & 11 support.
. Overall overview of the new QWT was covered in the previous version of this newsletter.
. PRs are merged for both r4.2 & r4.3. Which might be a sign that the new QWT might not be limited to r4.3 -
linux-kernel-latest v6.13.7-1-latest (r4.2 & r4.3)
linux-kernel (LTS) v6.1.131-1 (r4.2)
linux-kernel-66 (LTS) v6.6.83-1 (r4.2)
Linux 6.14 did not make it for the usual Saturday updates and was released on 24th March. Hopefully it would be packaged for Qubes and will be covered next week. -
core-agent-linux v4.3.20 (r4.3)
. Due to a 64 character limit, Firewall entries for very long hostnames crashed the firewall daemon. The crash is fixed but the limitation still exists.
. Some missing dependencies for packaging files.
. Improving network interface error logging. -
grub2 v2.06-7 (r4.3)
. Fixing an error on missing fonts on EFI systems. -
desktop-linux-menu v1.2.3 (r4.3)
. Wayland support for the Appmenu. The patch adds support for compositors that support the wlr-layer-shell protocol, which includes KWin, Sway, COSMIC, niri, Mir, GameScope, and Jay.
. Adding some missing dependencies and a minor fix. -
vmm-xen-guest v5.0.3-1 (r4.3)
Xen 4.20 in trixie -
gui-daemon v4.3.8 (r4.3)
Minor fix to add Clipboard metadata for QWT
Epilogue
In parallel universes, work on Whonix improvements and GUIX/NixOS support for Qubes is going on. And Kicksecure is also approved as a community template. We should expect its release in near future.
