Rolling Rhino, a script for using rolling updates in Ubuntu 06/29/2020 Martin Wimpres, who served as director of development of desktop systems in Canonical, has proposed a shell script Rolling-Rhino, which allows Ubuntu to emulate a system with a rolling-update, which can be useful for advanced users or developers who need to be aware of all the changes. The script automates the translation of installations of experimental releases of Ubuntu to the use of devel-branches of repositories, which packages with new versions of applications are built (synchronized with Debian Sid / Unstable). It supports the conversion of daily experimental builds with Ubuntu Desktop, Kubuntu, Lubuntu, Budgie, MATE, Studio and Xubuntu, which currently reflect the development of the future release of Ubuntu 20.10 https://twitter.com/m_wimpress/status/1277323423652421632

Redis DBMS creator handed over project support to community 06/30/2020 Salvatore Sanfilippo, creator of the Redis DBMS, announced that he would no longer be involved in project maintenance and would devote his time to something else. According to Salvatore, in recent years his work has come down to parsing third-party proposals for improving and changing the code, but this is not what he would like to do, since he likes writing code and creating something new rather than solving routine maintenance tasks. El Salvatore will remain on the advisory board of Redis Labs, but will be limited to generating ideas. Development and maintenance are handed over to the community. http://antirez.com/news/133
Lua 5.4 programming language release 06/30/2020 After five years of development , the release of Lua 5.4 , a fast and compact scripting programming language, is widely used as an embedded language (for example, to determine the configuration or to write extensions). The Lua interpreter code is written in C and distributed under the MIT license.

Fedora considers discontinuing BIOS support at boot time 07/01/2020 Fedora developers are discussing the issue of stopping the boot using the classic BIOS and leaving the option to install only on systems that support UEFI. It is noted that systems based on the Intel platform have been shipped with UEFI since 2005, and by 2020 Intel planned to stop supporting BIOS in client systems and data center platforms. The discussion of the rejection of BIOS support in Fedora is also due to the simplification of the implementation of the technology of selective display of the boot menu, in which the menu is hidden by default and is shown only after a failure or activation of the option in GNOME. For UEFI, the necessary functionality is already available in sd-boot, but when using the BIOS it requires patches for GRUB2. https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/QBANCA2UAJ5ZSMDVVARLIYAJE66TYTCD/

Ubuntu 20.10 will restrict access to dmesg: 07/03/2020 Ubuntu developers have agreed to restrict access to the /usr/bin/dmesg utility only for users in the adm group. Currently, unprivileged Ubuntu users do not have access to /var/log/kern.log, /var/log/syslog and system events in journalctl, but can view the kernel event log through dmesg. As a reason, the presence in the dmesg output of information that can be used by attackers to simplify the creation of exploits to increase privileges is mentioned. For example, in dmesg, in case of failures, a stack dump is displayed and it is possible to determine the addresses of structures in the kernel, which can help bypass the KASLR mechanism. An attacker can use dmesg as feedback, gradually leading the exploit to its proper form, watching oops in the log after unsuccessful attempts to attack. https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2020-July/041079.html
MaXX 2.1 Desktop Release, an Adaptation of IRIX Interactive Desktop for Linux 07/05/2020 The release of the MaXX 2.1 desktop is presented, the developers of which are trying to recreate the custom shell IRIX Interactive Desktop (SGI Indigo Magic Desktop) using Linux technologies.

Reiser5 Announces Support for Selective File Migration: 07/07/2020 Eduard Shishkin implemented support for selective file migration in Reiser5. As part of the Reiser5 project, a substantially revised version of the Reiser4 file system, at the file system level, and not the block device, support for parallel scalable logical volumes is implemented, which allows efficient distribution of data across a logical volume. Previously, data block migration was carried out exclusively in the context of balancing the Reiser5 logical volume in order to preserve fair distribution on it. Now you can move the data of any file to any disk component of the logical volume. Moreover, you can mark this file in a special way so that the balancing procedure will ignore it, and, therefore, blocks of its data will remain on the specified disk. https://marc.info/?l=reiserfs-devel&m=159394757714692&w=2
F3D 1.0, a compact viewer of 3D models: 07/08/2020 Company Kitware, specializing in the field of medical imaging data and computer vision, introduced a fast and compact viewer for 3D-models: F3D 1.0.

Google and Canonical: the ability to create desktop applications for Linux in Flutter: 07/08/2020 Google and Canonical have taken a joint initiative to support the development of graphical applications based on the Flutter desktop Linux framework. The Flutter user interface construction framework is written in the Dart language (the runtime engine for executing applications is written in C ++). It allows creating universal applications running on different platforms, and is considered as an alternative to React Native. Despite the presence of the Flutter SDK for Linux, it has so far been used only for the development of mobile applications and did not support desktop applications for Linux. Last year, Google announced its intention to add to Flutter, the ability to develop full-fledged desktop programs. Flutter is now expanded with the ability to develop desktop applications for Linux. Support for developing applications for Windows is still at the initial prototype stage. https://ubuntu.com//blog/canonical-enables-linux-desktop-app-support-with-flutter

Nokia unveils SR Linux network operating system for routers 07/14/2020 Nokia has introduced a new network operating system, Service Router Linux (SR Linux). It is focused on data center use and cloud environments. SR Linux is seen as a key component of Nokia Data Center Fabric solutions and will be installed on Nokia 7250 IXR and 7220 IXR routers. The SR Linux-based solution is already being tested at Apple’s new Danish data center. Unlike other operating systems for network equipment based on the Linux kernel, SR Linux retains the ability to access the underlying Linux environment, which is not hidden behind specialized APIs and interfaces. Users have access to the unmodified Linux kernel and basic system applications (bash, cron, Python, etc.), and specific applications are created using the NetOps Toolkit, which is not tied to certain programming languages. https://www.nokia.com/about-us/news/releases/2020/07/09/nokia-announces-generational-step-in-data-center-networking-new-os-and-tools-give-cloud-builders-unprecedented-ability-to-adapt-automate-and-scale/
Nokia révèle le système d'exploitation réseau SR Linux pour les routeurs 14/07/2020
Nokia présente un nouveau système d'exploitation de réseau, Service Router Linux (SR Linux). Il se concentre sur l'utilisation de centres de données et les environnements dans le nuage. SR Linux est considéré comme un composant clé des solutions de Nokia Data Center Fabric et sera installé sur les routeurs Nokia 7250 IXR et et 7220 IXR. La solution SR Linux est déjà testée au nouveau centre de données danois de Apple.
Contrairement à d'autres systèmes d'exploitation pour des équipements réseau basés sur le noyau Linux, SR Linux conserve la capacité d'accéder à l'environnement Linux sous-jacent, qui n'est pas caché derrière des API et des interfaces spécialisées. Les utilisateurs peuvent accéder au noyaux Linux inchangé et à des applications système de base (bash, cron, Python, etc.), et des applications spécifiques sont créées avec le NetOps Toolkit, qui n'est pas lié à certains langages de programmation.

Popcorn will be removed from the Ubuntu base: 07/15/2020 Michael Hudson-Doyle of the Ubuntu Foundations Team announced a decision to remove the popcon (popularity-contest) package from Ubuntu's core team, which was used to transmit anonymous telemetry about downloading, installing, updating, and removing packages. Based on the collected data, reports were generated on the popularity of applications and the architectures used, which were used by developers to make decisions on the inclusion of certain programs in the base delivery. Popcon was included in the distribution since 2006, but since the release of Ubuntu 18.04, this package and the server backend associated with it have been mothballed. https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/popcon-to-be-removed-from-the-standard-seed/17238

Sway 1.5 user environment released: 07/16/2020 The release of the composite manager Sway 1.5 , built using the Wayland protocol and fully compatible with the i3 mosaic window manager and the i3bar panel, was heralded. The project code is written in C and distributed under the MIT license. The project aims to be used on Linux as well as FreeBSD. Compatibility with i3 is ensured at the command level, configuration files and IPC, which allows you to use Sway as a transparent replacement for i3, using Wayland instead of X11. Sway allows you to place windows on the screen not spatially, but logically. The windows are arranged to form a grid that optimally uses the screen real estate and allows you to quickly manipulate the windows only using the keyboard. https://github.com/swaywm/sway/releases/tag/1.5
