5.5.0-0
Release in testing channel updates on 20th March 2026.
Leap 15.6 (multi-arch) & Tumbleweed (multi-arch) & Slowroll (x86_64).
Our International Day of Happiness release.
Overview
This is the first release of a renewed testing phase denoted in our RPM change-log via the following entry:
- WARNING – RENEWED TESTING PHASE 5.5.0-0 – (DEVELOPERS ONLY) #3001 by @phillxnet in #3091
This one has been a long time in development, primarily due to the extensive updates in the back-end - but we are not quite there just yet. The next milestone, as yet unpublished, focuses on getting this work, and just a few similar improvements, into our Stable updates; dictating field testing. Ergo this release. So as this development progresses - and within the scope defined by the change-logs, do consider dabbling as we are eager to push what we have to where we are going. Ultimately to assist with more rapid development as we adopt more modern back-end. With the mid-term goal of modernising our front-end.
Please note that in almost every issue below, @Flox co-maintainer & openQA backend dev, @Hooverdan Rock-ons maintainer/core-developer & forum admin, and myself have played some part. Thanks to all who have played any part. I am happy to present what we have to-date.
Watch this thread if what you see here thus-far is still a little ‘Edgy’ for you.
