Hyprland 0.56 ships with expanded Lua scripting, motion blur, and zero breaking changes

Software 44591 Published 2026-07-21 08:34 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Hyprland 0.56 arrived on July 20 with a massive 335-commit update that nearly doubles the compositor's Lua scripting surface area while introducing configurable window motion blur and HDR tonemapping controls. Lead developer Vaxry confirmed the release contains zero breaking changes despite the sheer volume of added features, including a new interactive REPL for hyprctl and expanded plugin event APIs. The update also cleans up the architecture by extracting core state management from the monolithic compositor class to improve testability and reduce per-frame heap allocations. If you rely on nix modules or hyprpm plugins, give the ecosystem a week to stabilize before fully committing to the upgrade.

Wget, Apache HTTP Server, nginx, Linux Kernel, PHP, and FreeRDP updates for Ubuntu

Ubuntu 7157 Published 2026-07-21 07:47 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Ubuntu published a series of security advisories covering critical flaws in wget, libde265, Apache HTTP Server, nginx, SQLite, PHP, FreeRDP, and the Linux kernel. The notices detail risks ranging from FTP redirect attacks and heap buffer overflows to remote code execution vulnerabilities in web server modules and graphics libraries. Operators must also install major kernel updates to patch AMD CPU speculative execution bugs, AppArmor notification handling errors, and widespread networking subsystem defects across multiple processor architectures. A routine system upgrade on any supported Ubuntu version will automatically apply these package revisions and restore full security posture.

NetworkManager 1.58 Released: GENEVE Tunnels, dhclient Removal, and IPv6 Enhancements

Software 44591 Published 2026-07-20 23:55 by Philipp Esselbach 0

NetworkManager 1.58 has shipped with GENEVE tunnel support and carrier-side CLAT/464XLAT translation, positioning the tool for modern SDN and IPv6-only infrastructure transitions. The release permanently removes the legacy dhclient DHCP backend and deprecates Wireless Extensions, forcing reliance on internal clients and modern Wi-Fi standards. Security receives a boost with certificate access verification for private connections and patches for memory safety vulnerabilities in the internal DHCPv4 client. Users also see 6GHz Wi-Fi configuration options, improved iwd backend parity, and significant usability improvements across nmcli and nmtui interfaces.

IPFire Core Update 203 Swaps Unbound for Knot Resolver and Adds Native DNS Firewall

Software 44591 Published 2026-07-20 22:58 by Philipp Esselbach 0

IPFire 2.29 Core Update 203 is live, marking the project's biggest backend shift as it replaces the long-standing Unbound resolver with the modular Knot Resolver. The swap unlocks DNS over TLS, a native DNS Firewall, network-wide SafeSearch enforcement, and persistent caching that survives reboots. Beyond the DNS overhaul, the release brings 6 GHz WiFi band support, IMDSv2 authentication for AWS EC2 deployments, and critical patches for strongSwan and Intel processor microcode. Upgrading administrators should be aware that forwarded zones can no longer use fully-qualified domain names, requiring a quick manual swap to IP addresses before the transition completes.

Liquorix Kernel 7.1-5 Released: Major Scheduler Sync for Linux Gaming and Creative

Debian 11003 Ubuntu 7157 Arch Linux 981 Published 2026-07-20 07:20 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Liquorix Kernel 7.1-5 dropped on July 19, 2026, merging upstream Linux v7.1.4 with over 40 patches that realign its custom Project-C scheduler with mainline locking models. The update slashes the default scheduling timeslice to 2ms, disables split lock detection, and zeroes out watermark boost to aggressively prioritize low-latency task switching for gaming and multimedia workloads. While it locks support strictly to AMD64 and x86_64 hardware, the kernel trades sustained throughput and power efficiency for tighter system responsiveness that creative professionals and desktop tinkerers will actually notice.

Linux Kernel 7.2-rc4 Drops: Cache-Aware Scheduling, MongoDB Speedups, and the End of strncpy

Linux 3391 Published 2026-07-20 07:12 by Philipp Esselbach 0

The fourth release candidate for Linux Kernel 7.2 hit the wire on July 19, 2026, pushing the codebase past 43 million lines while Linus Torvalds confirms that steady patch flows and AI-assisted bug hunting are officially the new normal. Cache-Aware Scheduling finally arrives to optimize task placement across complex CPU topologies, delivering measurable performance gains for AMD Zen 5 workloads and boosting MongoDB throughput by up to 100 percent. The kernel also cleans house with Btrfs large folios enabled by default, initial HDMI 2.1 FRL support in AMDGPU, and the permanent retirement of the strncpy API after six years of cleanup. You can expect the stable release in August 2026, though the ongoing purging of decades-old drivers and legacy code means the tree is already moving at a relentless pace.
