Pipewire 1.2 is a new release that maintains API and ABI compatibility with prior versions.It contains substantial changes from the 1.0 release, such as asynchronous processing, the concept of node.sync-group, and improved configuration parsing failures. It also includes support for necessary information when negotiating buffer parameters, multiple data loops in the server and client, and CPU affinity and prioritization.
The UCM conflicting device patches, snapcast-discover module, and reworked peer linking and counters, as well as many GStreamer element updates and more fixes and improvements, can be changed at runtime using metadata, and log levels in the pulse server can be dynamically changed with a /core message.
PostgreSQL 17 Beta 2 is now available for download, including previews of all the features that will be accessible when the database is released to the general public.
The community encourages users to test the new features on their systems to eliminate bugs. Upgrading to PostgreSQL 17 Beta 2 requires a strategy similar to upgrading between major versions. Changes since Beta 1 include correctly enforcing the ON EMPTY clause, resolving an issue with pg_logical_slot_get_changes, and fixing a new data structure for vacuum-related data.

Another release candidate for Apache Webserver 2.4.60 is available for testing. Several changes have been made to version 2.4.60. These include fixing DNS requests and connections that were closed before the configured addressTTL was set, logging the real thread ID in Linux error logs, supporting zone/scope in IPv6 link-local addresses in Listen and VirtualHost directives, rejecting client-initiated renegotiation with a TLS alert, updating mime.types, fixing a regression that stopped default DH parameters for a key from being set, and updating rustls-ffi to v0.13.0.
AM 6.15 provides enhancements and bugfixes, such as enabling sandboxing for AppImages, allowing users to select whether ~/.local/bin is in their $PATH, and enhancing the LibreOffice installation process.

This update includes several changes, including fixing DNS requests and connections closed before configured addressTTL, logging real thread ID in error logs on Linux, supporting zone/scope in IPv6 link-local addresses in Listen and VirtualHost directives, rejecting client-initiated renegotiation with a TLS alert, updating mime.types, fixing a regression that caused default DH parameters for a key to no longer be set, and updating rustls-ffi to v0.13.0.
"AM" 6.14 provides more flexibility in sandbox permission selections. The command line now looks more like a "Flatseal" for AppImages, with additional XDG directories to choose from and better Bubblewrap compatibility for non-systemd systems. The project's goal is to expose the potential of AppImages, including their hidden aspects.
VKD3D-Proton 2.13 has been released. The update includes several improvements to the Shader Model 6.8 min-spec, including Vulkan texturing catch-up features, interop for OpenVR/OpenXR on Proton, and support for NULL index buffers.
