The remaining large issue is with the\u00a0encoding of the upgraded PostgreSQL database that is used by all of our services, however, this was hopefully fixed today. That allowed\u00a0 Bugzilla to come back online fully upgraded, which will be a large help in tracking the bugs in the latest Mageia 6 ISOs and QA in general.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"magicdomid5\"><span class=\"author-a-7z79zz90zx6az122zz69zsz122zz86zfz70zgz75zq\">Our blog has also had some upgrades to its WordPress.

The wider QA tests on the upcoming RC ISOs have found some problems, but they are trivial and the builds are looking good. Hopefully, the remaining issues can be fixed in the next round of new builds and we can release Mageia 6 RC for everyone to test. The QA team has also started to test upgrades from Mageia 5 to 6, the main focus in ensuring that the switch from KDE4 to Plasma 5 works well and that there are no other issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"magicdomid11\"><span class=\"author-a-7z79zz90zx6az122zz69zsz122zz86zfz70zgz75zq\">Update wise, there has been a lot of activity, both bugfixes and new versions, here are some highlights:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul class=\"list-bullet1\">\n<li><span class=\"author-a-7z79zz90zx6az122zz69zsz122zz86zfz70zgz75zq\">gnome 3.24.1<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"author-a-7z79zz90zx6az122zz69zsz122zz86zfz70zgz75zq\">gtk+3.0 3.22.12<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"author-a-7z79zz90zx6az122zz69zsz122zz86zfz70zgz75zq\">qtdeclarative5 5.6.2 added a patch to fix kwin crashes<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"author-a-7z79zz90zx6az122zz69zsz122zz86zfz70zgz75zq\">dnf 2.3.0<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"author-a-7z79zz90zx6az122zz69zsz122zz86zfz70zgz75zq\">packagekit 1.1.5 backported fixes for offline updates<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"author-a-7z79zz90zx6az122zz69zsz122zz86zfz70zgz75zq\">mercurial and tortoisehg 4.1.2<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"author-a-7z79zz90zx6az122zz69zsz122zz86zfz70zgz75zq\">amarok 2.8.90 more appstream fixes<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"author-a-7z79zz90zx6az122zz69zsz122zz86zfz70zgz75zq\">godot 2.1.3 mainly <a href=\"https:\/\/godotengine.org\/article\/maintenance-release-godot-2-1-3\">bugfixes<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<li><span class=\"author-a-7z79zz90zx6az122zz69zsz122zz86zfz70zgz75zq\">mediawiki 1.27.2 lots of CVE fixes, see here for <a href=\"https:\/\/lists.wikimedia.org\/pipermail\/mediawiki-announce\/2017-April\/000207.html\">details<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"magicdomid24\"><span class=\"author-a-7z79zz90zx6az122zz69zsz122zz86zfz70zgz75zq\">Mageia 5<\/span><\/h2>\n<p id=\"magicdomid25\"><span class=\"author-a-7z79zz90zx6az122zz69zsz122zz86zfz70zgz75zq\">It&#8217;s been a relatively quiet week for Mageia 5, MediaWiki was updated to 1.23.16 with lots of CVE fixes, a full announcement is available <a href=\"https:\/\/lists.wikimedia.org\/pipermail\/mediawiki-announce\/2017-April\/000207.html\">here<\/a>.
