Software 44097 Published 2026-02-07 13:59 by Philipp Esselbach 0

PeaZip 10.9.0 fixes the sluggish drag‑and‑drop, restores reliable RAR and multi‑volume extraction, and adds handy keyboard shortcuts for extracting and adding files. The file manager now offers a customizable middle‑mouse click action and an alternative context‑menu layout that puts the most used commands front and center. Built‑in image and text viewers have been refreshed—DPI scaling works, WebP is supported, and basic syntax highlighting appears in the text viewer. The backend upgrade to Pea 1.29 smooths out command‑line wrappers while keeping Lazarus compatibility across several versions, making the whole package feel more responsive without any bloat.

Linux Kernels 6.12.69, 6.6.123, 6.1.162, 5.15.199, 5.10.249 released

Linux 3301 Published 2026-02-06 17:58 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Linux Kernel 6.12.69 has been released alongside earlier stable branches such as 5.10.249, 5.15.199, 6.1.162, and 6.6.123, bringing a wide array of bug fixes and feature refinements across the kernel. The log shows improvements to bpf self‑tests, RDMA device handling under Hyper‑V, pinctrl driver changes for Qualcomm SoCs, AMDGPU queue resets, and a critical writeback CPU‑usage fix that stops infinite busy loops when the dirtytime interval is zero. Additional updates touch networking, memory safety, and hardware drivers—including cgroup UAF fixes, NVMe race condition resolution, improved DMA pool handling, and various driver-specific patches for devices such as Intel NICs, NVIDIA GPUs, Qualcomm modems, and Bluetooth stacks. Altogether, this release strengthens kernel stability, performance, and security while expanding support for a broad spectrum of hardware platforms.

Linux Kernel 6.18.9 released

Linux 3301 Published 2026-02-06 17:46 by Philipp Esselbach 0

The latest point release of the Linux kernel, version 6.18.9, arrives with a focused set of patches that tighten stability and eliminate subtle bugs across many subsystems. It cleans up crashes from driver races in AMDGPU, Intel Xe, and network devices like mlx5e while also correcting misleading error counters on Intel NICs and fixing memory leaks in bcache, btrfs, and NFC routines. Network stack improvements include an MPTCP patch that stops duplicate SUB_CLOSED events and a change to the ice driver that correctly classifies UDP checksum errors, ensuring more accurate link statistics. With no new features added, this concise update is ideal for servers or DIY routers that need safer, quieter operation without pulling in extra code.

MariaDB 11.8.6, 11.4.10, 10.11.16, and 10.6.25 released

Software 44097 Published 2026-02-06 13:17 by Philipp Esselbach 0

MariaDB 11.8.6 (and its 11.4, 10.11, 10.6 counterparts) patches several InnoDB crash scenarios—especially those triggered by TRUNCATE, OPTIMIZE and buffer‑pool underruns—so servers that have seen “out‑of‑bounds write” or checksum errors should upgrade immediately. Galera clusters get a new GCS protocol version, which blocks mixed‑version nodes and resolves SST/IST loops that previously filled disks. On Unix systems the mariadb-dump --dir permission check is fixed, eliminating “permission denied” failures when dump processes run under different OS users. Follow the backup‑first checklist, bump all cluster nodes together, and run mysql_upgrade; after that your instance should stay up and stop spitting out those obscure crash logs.

Manjaro Linux 26.0.2 Anh‑Linh released

Manjaro Linux 166 Published 2026-02-06 13:10 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Manjaro Linux 26.0.2 Anh‑Linh is now on the mirrors, built on the 6.18 kernel while still offering LTS kernels (6.12, 6.6) for older machines that can’t handle the newest drivers. The GNOME spin upgrades to GNOME 49 with a tidier calendar, hideable sidebar, and a reworked Flatpak parser that cuts memory use and makes the software store noticeably faster on modest hardware. KDE Plasma 6.5 adds optional rounded window corners, a time‑based light/dark theme switcher, broader application permission controls, and an RDP server that syncs clipboard credentials without extra passwords. The Xfce edition moves to 4.20, bringing Thunar file‑coloring rules, built‑in recursive search, exact‑pixel panel sizing, and a “keep panel above windows” option for more predictable layouts.

Zen Browser 1.18.5b released

Software 44097 Published 2026-02-06 12:59 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Zen Browser 1.18.5b introduces a “Sync only pinned tabs in workspaces” option that lets users keep their pinned shortcuts consistent across windows while leaving unpinned tabs untouched. The feature only works if the hidden window.sync.enabled flag is turned on in about:config, so double‑check that setting first. The update also upgrades the underlying engine to Firefox 147.0.3 and resolves two annoyances.

KDE neon 20260205 released

KDE 1696 Published 2026-02-06 08:07 by Philipp Esselbach 0

KDE neon 20260205 delivers the newest Plasma, Qt and core KDE apps straight from upstream on an Ubuntu 24.04 LTS foundation. It’s perfect for enthusiasts and beta testers who want features the moment they’re released, but the rapid KDE updates can cause regressions that more conservative distros avoid. Proprietary Nvidia drivers can be installed manually, yet KDE neon provides no official support, leaving any driver‑related problems to the user.

OBS Studio 32.1.0 Release Candidate 1 released

Software 44097 Published 2026-02-06 07:18 by Philipp Esselbach 0

OBS Studio 32.1.0 Release Candidate 1 restores the missing Add Source dialog and delivers a batch of bug‑fixes that matter most to Linux streamers. The candidate corrects PipeWire camera framerate listings, eliminating the bogus “60 fps” entries that have caused webcam lag complaints. Audio Mixer glitches that consumed extra CPU on macOS are also trimmed on Linux, resulting in steadier performance during long sessions. Overall, the build is a solid step toward 32.1.0 for anyone running OBS on a Linux desktop, though scene collections should still be backed up before testing.
