Darktable 5.4.1 released

Software 44089 Published 2026-02-05 18:27 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Darktable 5.4.1 fixes several export‑related bugs and crashes that appeared after the 5.4 jump, keeping edit history intact but requiring a full backup of the configuration folder before upgrading. The release also adds support for newer camera models such as Sony ILCE‑7CR and updates raw‑speed handling, while older macOS versions and certain legacy cameras remain unsupported.

Mesa 26.0.0 Release Candidate 3 released

Software 44089 Published 2026-02-05 17:59 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Mesa 26.0.0‑rc3 adds driver‑level fixes—most notably tighter BVH handling in radv and internal AV1 tile calculations in ANV—while polishing LLVM‑22 compatibility across the stack. Early testers have already spotted “device lost” crashes on older AMD GPUs, which the new BVH patches aim to eliminate, but software rasterizer builds with LLVM‑22 can still hit shader compilation errors. Building the candidate in a separate directory and installing it under a user‑local prefix lets you trial the changes without overwriting your system Mesa packages.

Apache NetBeans IDE 29 RC2 released

Software 44089 Published 2026-02-05 14:59 by Philipp Esselbach 0

NetBeans IDE 29 RC2 primarily patches stability issues that bite developers during Maven project refreshes and Java auto‑completion on broken code. The release also tightens Javadoc rendering, expands static‑import hints to records, and makes the Favorites pane appear automatically on first use.

Krita 6.0 and 5.3 Betas released

Software 44089 Published 2026-02-05 13:51 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Krita 6’s first beta finally gives canvas‑editable text that wraps inside vector shapes and follows paths, ending the old raster‑only workaround. On Linux, native Wayland mode now respects color profiles, though it only works reliably with KWin. A new vector‑knife tool lets you split and merge shapes in a single click, which is a lifesaver for comic page layout. The update also adds HDR‑aware filters, real‑time recording, and tighter Python brush‑stroke APIs—nice extras that actually get used.

pgAdmin 4 v9.12 released

Software 44089 Published 2026-02-05 13:18 by Philipp Esselbach 0

pgAdmin 4 v9.12 adds INHERIT and SET checkboxes to the role membership tab and a toolbar button that pulls the full result set in the query tool, making role management and large data exports easier. OAuth2/OIDC authentication now has better claim handling and extra configuration fields for providers such as Azure AD or Keycloak. Important bug fixes include a patch for the dashboard freeze when many locks are present, secret‑key masking to address CVE‑2026‑1707, clearer pg_restore logs, and a Mac OS auto‑update fix on read‑only volumes. If any of these features or stability improvements match your workflow, upgrading now is the sensible move.

The Zed editor has received an update to version 0.222.2, which includes several new features such as AI prediction tools from multiple providers and a revamped image viewer. The AI prediction feature allows users to choose from various providers, but it's suggested that enabling all of them can be unnecessary and may even waste CPU cycles if not used. Another notable addition is Windows SSH remoting support. The update also includes several minor bug fixes and performance improvements, such as a leaner macOS file-watcher and the ability to rename terminal tabs.

Nginx 1.29.5 and 1.28.2 released

Software 44089 Published 2026-02-04 19:49 by Philipp Esselbach 0

A new security pupdate, Nginx 1.29.5, has been released to fix a critical SSL upstream injection bug (CVE-2026-1642) that could allow attackers to bypass host-based access controls and expose internal data to the internet. This vulnerability affects Nginx instances with SSL termination and is particularly relevant for public-facing servers using TLS. The patch adds proper logging and tightens read-before-write logic to prevent the attack, but users should still upgrade their Nginx version as soon as possible to ensure security. Nginx 1.28.2 has also been released with the same fix for earlier versions of Nginx 1.28.

OWASP CRS 4.23.0 released

Security 10924 Published 2026-02-04 16:18 by Philipp Esselbach 0

The latest OWASP CRS 4.23.0 release includes new detection rules, false-positive clean-ups, and housekeeping efforts that most users won't notice. The new rules include protection against Vite.js path traversal attacks, fake Mozilla user-agent blocks, and "trap" command block exploitation attempts, as well as PHP session file upload prevention. Additionally, the release fixes several common false-positives, such as ad and tracker cookie noise and malformed SSRF URLs. Overall, the update is considered a low-risk upgrade for users already on recent CRS versions and a recommended upgrade for those on older releases.

LibreOffice 26.2 released

Software 44089 Published 2026-02-04 13:29 by Philipp Esselbach 0

LibreOffice 26.2 is the latest free office suite from The Document Foundation, offering improvements in speed, Markdown support, and better Microsoft file compatibility. A performance boost allows for faster opening of large documents and smoother scrolling in Calc, while Markdown import/export enables users to easily convert between formats. While upgrading isn't necessary if your workflow with LibreOffice 26.1 is smooth, the new version solves several long-standing annoyances for power users, such as anchored objects and connector support in Calc. However, some potential drawbacks include a cramped vertical tab UI on low-resolution screens and a larger installer size due to the mandatory Skia engine.

Zen Browser 1.18.4b released

Software 44089 Published 2026-02-04 13:12 by Philipp Esselbach 0

The update also includes several minor quality-of-life tweaks and bug fixes, but no new UI features or major changes. Users who regularly work with multiple windows or rely on drag-and-drop for research are recommended to upgrade now, as the fix removes a significant hiccup that can cost minutes of focus. Those who are happy living in a single window and don't care about split panes may not need to upgrade immediately, but can still do so without worrying about breaking their current setup.

PikaOS 26.02.03 released

PikaOS 16 Published 2026-02-04 09:20 by Philipp Esselbach 0

PikaOS 26.02.03 has been released with a new kernel and drivers, but users who upgraded from an older ISO need to run a migration script to fix their console keymap and encrypted boot issues. The migration involves deleting old config files, setting a generic keymap, fixing package references, installing the kbd stack, refreshing packages, applying the actual keymap, and recreating initramfs images. Users can choose from various editions of PikaOS, including GNOME, KDE, Hyprland, COSMIC, and Niri, each with two variants: regular and NVIDIA, depending on their GPU requirements.
