Jun 1, 2026June 2026 monthly summary for getsolus/packages. Delivered a broad wave of stability, security, and feature updates across the Linux kernel, tooling, browsers, and KDE software, with a strong emphasis on business value and maintainability. Key milestones include kernel and driver stability work (linux-current updated to 7.0.11 and 7.0.12, linux-lts updated to 6.18.34 and 6.18.35, linux-tools to 7.0.11/7.0.12) and extensive kernel-module rebuilds to preserve compatibility across 14+ drivers (nvidia-470-glx-driver, broadcom-sta, bbswitch, lenovo-legion-linux, nvidia-open, nvidia-beta-driver, nvidia-glx-driver, openrazer, open-vm-tools, virtualbox, rtl8852bu, vhba-module, v4l2loopback, zenergy, xone). Features were delivered across a broad software stack, including KDE Frameworks 6.27.0 across many modules and a Plasma 6.7.1 batch (Release Batch 8), plus multiple KDE Applications updates to 26.04.2. Browser and web-engine updates modernized security and reliability (libwebkit-gtk 2.52.4 with CVEs, Firefox updates to 151.x/152.x, Opera, Vivaldi, Brave, Geckodriver 0.37.0, Qt6 WebEngine patches). Security posture and firmware were enhanced with yt-dlp 2026.06.09 CVEs, linux-firmware 20260622, and other targeted patches. The month also emphasized release discipline and cross-team coordination to sustain a fast, auditable release cadence.

Feb 1, 2026February 2026 (2026-02) delivered security, stability, and compatibility improvements across getsolus/packages. Key features delivered include KDE Plasma 6.6.1 component updates across 20+ packages (batch 7 of 9) and coordinated core component updates, NSS library upgrades (v3.120.1 and v3.121) for security and compatibility, and Qt6 WebEngine patching to address CVEs CVE-2026-2649 and CVE-2026-2648. Kernel-compatibility maintenance was advanced via targeted rebuilds for bbswitch, broadcom-sta, lenovo-legion-linux, nvidia drivers, and other kernel-facing modules. A stability-critical Lutris decision resulted in upgrading to v0.5.20 where appropriate while downgrading to v0.5.19 to resolve reported saves/gpu issues. Browser and tooling updates (Brave, Vivaldi, yt-dlp/ejs, Discord, Opera, Firefox 148) were prepared to improve security and user experience across the client surface.
