Zen Browser 1.19.4b released

Software 44236 Published 2026-03-27 13:23 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Zen Browser 1.19.4b arrives with a massive security patch that plugs dozens of high-risk vulnerabilities ranging from sandbox escapes to memory safety issues. Skipping this update is a gamble since several flaws could let attackers run arbitrary code through normal web browsing activities without any user interaction. Beyond the patches, users get faster PDF loading and smoother video playback thanks to enabled hardware acceleration on Windows systems by default. The release also adds practical tools like automatic blocking for malicious notifications so spam sites cannot pester users in the background anymore.

Linux kernel 6.12.79 released

Linux 3328 Published 2026-03-27 13:17 by Philipp Esselbach 0

The latest stable 6.12.79 LTS update lands to remove redundant interrupt masking code that was causing potential conflicts on LoongArch systems. Greg Kroah-Hartman signed this release after realizing an earlier feature became unnecessary following a consolidation commit in version 6.12.78. General desktop users will barely notice the change, but admins running specific hardware should apply it to prevent boot loops during kexec operations. Regular updates like this keep systems running smoothly by removing potential points of failure before they cause headaches.

PHP 8.4.20 RC1 and 8.5.5 RC1 Fedora/RHEL Packages released

Fedora Linux 9293 Published 2026-03-27 09:41 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Remi Collet has released release candidate packages for PHP 8.4.20RC1 and 8.5.5RC1 suitable for Fedora and RHEL based distributions. These versions are available in testing repositories as both base packages and Software Collections to allow safe parallel installation without disrupting existing systems. Administrators can use yum or dnf commands to enable the remi-test repository and switch module versions once they verify compatibility during testing. Note that PHP version 8.3 has now entered security mode only so no further release candidates will be produced for that branch.

AMD Radeon Software for Linux 25.35.1 released

Drivers 3020 Published 2026-03-27 09:22 by Philipp Esselbach 0

AMD dropped Radeon Software for Linux version 25.35.1 to bring official support to Ubuntu 24.04.4 HWE and fix nasty system hangs on Intel hybrid CPUs. This update is specifically useful if you are running unsupported distros like Fedora or Arch where the standard packages lag behind on new hardware compatibility. While it covers everything from RX 9000 down to legacy Vega cards, most users should still stick with their distribution repositories unless they hit a wall first. The installer provides a necessary workaround for enterprise systems and power users who need immediate GPU support without waiting for kernel updates.

Ubuntu 7032 Published 2026-03-27 08:36 by Philipp Esselbach 0

The Ubuntu team has released the beta version of 26.04 LTS, known as Resolute Raccoon, with a final launch scheduled for April 2026. The system now runs on a 7.0 kernel while the new Subiquity installer finally provides a comfortable live session for server users. Anyone attempting an upgrade should back up their data and test in a virtual machine since beta software often breaks file managers or requires driver tweaks. Production environments need to wait until the official release while testers can help squash bugs before the stable version ships.

Godot 4.7 Dev 3 released

Software 44236 Published 2026-03-27 08:04 by Philipp Esselbach 0

The third development snapshot for Godot 4.7 brings critical updates to the GUI system and 3D editing tools designed to improve workflow efficiency for developers. Control nodes now support transform offsets that allow animations without container interference, while the 3D editor gains vertex snapping to help align geometry precisely during level design. Platform support expands with picture-in-picture mode for Android users and HDR output availability on Linux via Wayland alongside improved debugging visibility in the remote scene view. Community members are encouraged to test these changes thoroughly as the project moves toward stabilization before the final release of version four point seven.

The Rust team just pushed out a maintenance release to patch regressions found in version 1.94.0 before they cause headaches for developers building cross-platform tools. This update resolves specific failures involving thread spawning on WebAssembly targets and removes unstable methods that were accidentally exposed on Windows file systems. Security takes priority here because the Cargo toolchain now includes an updated tar library to prevent archive extraction vulnerabilities that could compromise local builds. Anyone running rustup should run rustup update stable immediately because waiting only invites certificate validation errors or compiler crashes into their workflow.

Tails 7.6 released

Tails 83 Published 2026-03-26 13:25 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Tails 7.6 introduces automatic Tor bridge detection that pulls region-specific relays to bypass internet censorship without manual setup.

Under the hood you get fresh versions of Tor Browser and Thunderbird paired with firmware updates that fix compatibility for newer graphics cards and Wi-Fi adapters. Existing installations on version 7.0 or higher can upgrade automatically, but there is a manual fallback option if the system refuses to start after the update.

Gigabyte MO27Q28G 27-inch 280 Hz OLED gaming monitor review and more

Reviews 52596 Published 2026-03-26 08:47 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Today's hardware roundup examines whether new components like the Gigabyte OLED monitor and PNY slim graphics cards truly deliver on their marketing promises for compact builds. Budget audio picks from Edifier and Sharkoon provide comfort and decent ANC but expect heavy bass tuning that might not suit every listener. The Cougar Revenger Pro mouse boasts incredible specs for $70 yet reviewers remain skeptical about whether corners were cut to hit such an aggressive price point. Legacy tech fans get a nod with the distybox adapter proving that some analog solutions still matter even if manufacturers treat them like disposable ballast now.
