A critical vulnerability in Chromium's CSS engine has been patched with the release of Ungoogled Chromium 145.0.7632.75. This bug, known as CVE-2026-2441, allowed malicious pages to execute arbitrary code by corrupting memory through use-after-free attacks. The patch validates object lifetimes and adds sanity checks around style rule deletion, making it identical to the security update in regular Chrome releases. Users are advised to upgrade immediately, as exploiting this bug requires only a phishing link and a modern browser, and the fix is lightweight with no noticeable performance hit.
Version 9.9.4 of AM/AppMan adds a bi‑weekly scan of GitHub repositories, automatically tagging those that are archived or haven’t released in over a year and listing them as potentially vulnerable. The catalog grows by 63 entries to a total of 2 842 programs, though most additions are obscure utilities that many users won’t need. Downgrade commands now hide snapshot releases by default, while the -t template option warns about name collisions before creating new entries. In real use the changes prevent wasted install attempts on dead repositories and cut down noisy rollback output, making automated AppImage management a bit smoother.
Vim 9.2 has introduced several changes that can impact daily workflows, including a revamped completion engine with fuzzy matching and improved performance when dealing with large files. The new version also introduces diff improvements, allowing users to split large files into logical sections for easier comparison. Additionally, Linux users can now enjoy native Wayland clipboard handling and UI integration, although this feature is still experimental. Overall, the update brings incremental improvements that are solid enough for everyday editing, but may not necessitate a massive overhaul of existing settings or workflows.
Zen Browser 1.18.7b finally adds proper ARIA labels to the workspace‑switcher and other toolbar buttons, so screen‑readers can announce each control correctly. The build also forces the session cache to flush before a crash, which stops the blank‑tab nightmare that showed up after Windows forced a reboot. Anyone who relies on accessibility tools should upgrade right away, and even users without those needs will notice a steadier tab restore. The update is tiny, installs cleanly, and doesn’t demand a restart—so there’s really no excuse to stick with the buggy predecessor.
The Godot 4.7 development snapshot introduces a built‑in VirtualJoystick node with three practical modes, eliminating the need for external mobile input plugins. DrawableTexture offers a straightforward API for drawing directly onto textures, removing the cumbersome viewport workaround most users relied on. Path3D now includes an optional collider‑snap feature that aligns points to nearby geometry, and the Remote Tree Inspector preserves enum names even when they aren’t exported. Early Vulkan raytracing hooks and a prototype HDR output for Windows also land in this build, giving developers tangible tools to experiment with before the next stable release.
Roundcube 1.7 RC4 has been released with several important bug fixes that resolve minor issues affecting sysadmins. The most notable change is the correction of file permissions, which previously prevented users from writing logs or saving settings due to inadequate folder access. Additionally, the installer now correctly links to download the generated configuration file, making it easier to retrieve config.inc.php without searching through the filesystem. This release candidate addresses two minor issues and is primarily intended to resolve a file permission problem that hindered fresh installs of Roundcube 1.7.
VSCodium has been updated to VS Code 1.109.3, with new language-service improvements for Python and JavaScript, as well as a few UI tweaks. However, users may experience issues with extensions that haven't been updated to work with the latest API. If you're currently running VSCodium 1.108 and want telemetry-free builds, this update is a good reason to upgrade, but if your workflow relies on an outdated extension, it might be better to wait for another week or so. To download the new version without issues, users can find direct links to various installers on the official VSCodium page.
MariaDB 12.3.1 has been released as a first candidate for its long-term support line, bringing significant changes to the binary log, XML data type, and Oracle-compatibility tweaks. The new binlog implementation embeds it inside InnoDB, reducing commit latency by up to 50% and making the binlog crash-safe even with relaxed flush settings. To enable this feature, users must add a specific directive to their my.cnf file, but should not treat this as a production release due to potential replication issues until at least one point release is available. The update also brings new features in MariaDB 12.2.2, including expanded Oracle compatibility and improved JSON handling, making it a safer upgrade for those already on the 12.1 series.
Zen Browser 1.18.6b moves overflowing extensions to a row below the address bar in single‑sidebar mode, clearing up a crowded UI. The program now stores its Linux configuration under ~/.config/zen and respects XDG standards while still supporting the legacy folder if it exists. Crash recovery has been tightened so unpinned tabs stay closed when “Restore previous session” is disabled, and bookmark syncing with Mozilla accounts finally functions reliably. A new --blank-window command‑line switch opens a clean window without any pinned tabs or restored spaces, which is handy for testing or starting fresh.
Rust 1.93.1 is a point release that undoes three regressions introduced in 1.93.0: it stops the compiler from crashing when rustfmt encounters new keywords, silences a Clippy false‑positive on implicit dereference field access, and fixes a file descriptor leak on the wasm32‑wasip2 target. Updating via rustup update stable fetches the patched binaries and can be verified with rustc --version. The ICE and noisy lint warnings have been known to break CI pipelines, while the wasm leak caused “too many open files” errors in long‑running services. In short, if rustfmt, Clippy, or wasm builds are part of the workflow, installing 1.93.1 is the only sensible move.
The latest release of Mesa brings several performance tweaks, including new Vulkan-to-Metal layer, KosmicKrisp, which allows for smoother gameplay on macOS without needing proprietary software. RADV raytracing also gets faster with a more aggressive geometry handling path that reduces stutter in games like Quake II RTX. RadeonSI switches to ACO by default, cutting down shader compilation time and improving performance, but it may resurface some obscure edge-case bugs. The new Mesa release includes dozens of Vulkan extensions, such as VK_KHR_relaxed_block_layout and VK_EXT_discard_rectangles, which mainly promote "EXT" level features into the core spec for supported drivers.
The third release candidate for Apache NetBeans IDE 29 mainly fixes missing resource‑bundle keys that caused placeholder text to appear in several language packs. The update cleans up the UI for non‑English locales, eliminating the “???” labels that could confuse users. It also includes minor internal tweaks such as reduced console logging noise and removal of obsolete test cases. Upgrading to this release candidate provides a smoother, more polished development experience without introducing new features or regressions.
PostgreSQL 18.2 (and the matching updates for 17.8, 16.12, 15.16 and 14.21) patches five high‑severity security flaws—including remote code execution bugs in the intarray, pgcrypto, multibyte handling and pg_trgm extensions—so any server running those versions is exposed until upgraded. The release also fixes over 65 bugs, notably ltree case‑insensitive index errors, a broken NOT NULL constraint addition, and backup failures on tables larger than 1 GB. Upgrading is straightforward: stop the service, replace the binaries, start again, then reindex any ltree columns if you use non‑libc collations. Skipping this minor release leaves critical attack surfaces open while offering little upside.
The latest update to Zed editor, version 0.223.3, brings several AI-driven shortcuts and safety features, including support for multiple edit-prediction services and improved Agent safety. The update also includes a range of quality-of-life tweaks, such as easier Git integration with Azure and improved remote development tools. Additionally, the new build fixes several bugs that have been affecting users, making the editor feel less glitchy and more responsive. Overall, Zed 0.223.3 pushes its AI agenda forward while addressing genuine workflow pain points and tightening safety around potentially destructive commands.
Ungoogled Chromium 145 has landed with the latest upstream Chrome code and security patches, but without Google's telemetry. This version tightens up loopholes in privacy-focused builds by expanding the domain substitution list and reinforcing network blocks. Users can download the source code from GitHub or use a pre-built Flatpak package available on Flathub. After installation, some users might want to tweak settings like disabling automatic URL formatting to prevent stripping "http://" when testing local services.
