An experimental release of the open implementation of the Win32 API — Wine 11.9 — has been published. Since the release of 11.8, 24 bug reports have been closed and 197 changes made. The most significant updates include: the inclusion of the SQLite 3.51.1 library, initial support for system threads, added functions for creating threads using pthread in ntdll, and support for pausing threads in emulated code […]
The developers of the Rocky Linux distribution have announced the creation of a separate repository for urgent package updates addressing vulnerabilities, which is not synchronized with the Red Hat Enterprise Linux repositories. It is noted that the Rocky Linux project adheres to the principle of closely matching the RHEL package base, but recent security threats necessitate this exception. The "security" repository will only publish […]
Researchers who recently discovered the Fragnesia vulnerability in the Linux kernel have published information about vulnerabilities in QEMU that allow gaining root access to the host environment from the guest system. The issue has been codenamed QEMUtiny, but a CVE identifier has not yet been assigned. An exploit has been prepared that involves two vulnerabilities in the CXL (Compute Express Link) device emulation code. Both vulnerabilities are present in the cxl-mailbox-utils.c code. […]
The Fedora Project Council has revoked its earlier decision to create Fedora AI Developer Desktop — an official edition of the distribution for developers using AI tools. Initially, all six council members voted in favor of creating the project, but after reviewing the criticisms voiced during community discussions, two members changed their votes a few days later and expressed […]
A critical vulnerability has been identified in the Linux kernel, the fifth (1, 2, 3) in the last two weeks, allowing a user to escalate their privileges in the system. Two working exploits have been published: sshkeysign_pwn allows an unprivileged user to read the contents of the private host SSH keys /etc/ssh/ssh_host_*_key, while chage_pwn enables reading the contents of the /etc/shadow file containing user password hashes. Information about the vulnerability was not intended for disclosure, […]
The Fedora Project has announced a series of Test Days for Podman 6.0 — the next major release of the container engine developed as an alternative to Docker without a central daemon. Testing for the new branch runs from May 11 to 15 and targets both developers and regular Fedora users. Podman 6.0 will be one of the largest updates for the project in recent times. […]
The Linux Foundation has introduced the twenty-first release of the AGL UCB (Automotive Grade Linux Unified Code Base) distribution, under which a universal platform is developed for use in various automotive subsystems, from dashboards to automotive infotainment systems. At the same time, the first release of the AGL SoDeV (Software Defined Vehicle) reference platform has been presented, designed for creating software-defined automotive systems based on […]
Jarred Sumner, the creator and lead developer of the server-side JavaScript platform Bun, recognized the successful experiment of rewriting the project from Zig and Rust using the AI assistant Claude Code, and decided to migrate Bun to Rust. The rewritten version in Rust has already been accepted into the project's main repository, while the Zig code is scheduled for removal. […]
Intel has released Intel Graphics Compiler 2.34.4 — an update to the open-source shader and compute kernel compiler used in Intel's graphics stack for Linux and Windows. Intel Graphics Compiler (IGC) is one of the key components of Intel GPU driver infrastructure and is used in conjunction with OpenCL, Level Zero, and Vulkan drivers. The project is responsible for compiling shaders, SPIR-V, and compute code […]
At the Red Hat Summit 2026 conference, Red Hat unveiled the Fedora Hummingbird project, which provides a new continuously updated edition of Fedora Linux, organized as a collection of containers. To reduce the attack surface, the containers include only the minimal set of components necessary for specific tasks. Software versions are updated promptly, as soon as they are released by the main projects. The update installation process is automated. […]
The CoMaps project, which develops a fully open community fork of the mobile mapping application Organic Maps, has released version 2026.05.06 and published its development report for the year. The CoMaps code is distributed under the Apache 2.0 license. The application is available in the F-Droid, Google Play, Apple App Store, and Flathub directories, as well as directly on Codeberg. The main innovation in this release is the ability to update maps independently of the application itself. […]
A corrective release of the Python programming language 3.14.5 has been published, which, in addition to fixing bugs and minor vulnerabilities, reinstates the old garbage collector used before the 3.14.x branch. The unusual decision for an interim release is attributed to user complaints about a significant increase in memory consumption after migrating production systems to the 3.14 branch and the emergence of memory leaks.
