Christian Schaller
writes
about the desktop-oriented work aimed at the upcoming Fedora 40
release.
Another major feature landing in Fedora Workstation 40 that Jonas
Ådahl and Ray Strode has spent a lot of effort on is finalizing the
remote desktop support for GNOME on Wayland. So there has been
support for remote connections for already logged in sessions
already, but with these updates you can do the login remotely too
and thus the session do not need to be started already on the
remote machine. This work will also enable 3rd party solutions to
do remote logins on Wayland systems, so while I am not at liberty
to mention names, be on the lookout for more 3rd party Wayland
remoting software becoming available this year.

On March 21, Redis Ltd. announced that the Redis "in-memory data store" project would now be
released under non-free, source-available licenses, starting with Redis 7.4. The
news is unwelcome, but not entirely unexpected. What is unusual with this situation is
the number of Redis alternatives to choose from; there are at least
four options to choose as a replacement for those who wish to stay
with free software, including a pre-existing fork called KeyDB and the Linux Foundation's newly-announced Valkey project. The question now is which one(s)
Linux distributions, users, and providers will choose to take its place.

Keith Fiske gave a talk
(with
slides) about the state of partitioning — splitting a large
table into smaller tables for performance reasons — in
PostgreSQL at
SCALE
this year. He spoke about the existing support for partitioning, what work still
needs to be done, and what place existing partitioning tools, like his own
pg_partman, still have as PostgreSQL gains more built-in features.

Version 4.20.0 of the Samba Windows interoperability suite has been
released. Changes include better support for group-managed service
accounts, an experimental Windows search protocol client, support for
conditional access control entries, and more.

The PostgreSQL community is dealing with the loss of Simon Riggs, who
passed away on March 26:
Simon was responsible for many of the enterprise features we find
in PostgreSQL today, including point in time recovery, hot standby,
and synchronous replication. He was the founder of 2ndQuadrant
which employed many of the PostgreSQL developers, later becoming
part of EDB where he worked as a Postgres Fellow until his
retirement. He was responsible for the UK PostgreSQL conferences
for many years until he passed that responsibility to PostgreSQL
Europe last year.

Jason Nucciarone and Felipe Reyes gave back-to-back talks
about high-performance computing (HPC) using Ubuntu at
SCALE this
year. Nucciarone talked about ongoing work packaging
Open OnDemand — a web-based HPC cluster interface —
to make high-performance-computing clusters
more user friendly. Reyes presented on using
OpenStack — a cloud-computing platform
— to pass the performance benefits of one's hardware through
to virtual machines (VMs) running on a cluster.

The GNOME project announced
GNOME 46 (code-named "Kathmandu") on March 20. The release has quite a few updates and improvements
across user applications, developer tools, and under the hood. One
thing stood out while looking over this release—a major emphasis on
Flatpaks as the way to acquire and update GNOME software.

Security updates have been issued by CentOS (kernel), Debian (firefox-esr), Fedora (webkitgtk), Mageia (curaengine & blender and gnutls), Red Hat (firefox, grafana, grafana-pcp, libreoffice, nodejs:18, and thunderbird), SUSE (glade), and Ubuntu (crmsh, debian-goodies, linux-aws, linux-aws-6.5, linux-aws-hwe, linux-azure, linux-azure-4.15, linux-oracle, linux-azure, linux-azure-5.4, linux-oracle, linux-oracle-5.15, pam, and thunderbird).

The first-ever NixCon
in North America was co-located with
SCALE this year. The
event drew a mix of experienced
Nix users
and people new to the project.
I attended talks that covered using Nix to build Docker images, upcoming changes
to how NixOS performs early booting, and ideas for making the set of services
provided in nixpkgs
more useful for self hosting. (LWN covered the relationship between
Nix, NixOS, and nixpkgs in a
recent article.)
Near the end of the
conference, a collection of Nix contributors gave a "State of the Union"
about the growth of the project and highlighting areas of concern.

The
6.9-rc1
kernel prepatch was released on March 24, closing the merge window for
this development cycle. By that time, 12,435 non-merge changesets had been
merged into the mainline, making for a less-busy merge window than the last
couple of kernel releases (but similar to the 12,492 seen for 6.5). Well
over 7,000 of those changes were merged after
the first-half merge-window summary was
written, meaning that the latter part of the merge window brought many more
interesting changes.

Security updates have been issued by Debian (cacti, firefox-esr, freeipa, gross, libnet-cidr-lite-perl, python2.7, python3.7, samba, and thunderbird), Fedora (amavis, chromium, clojure, firefox, gnutls, kubernetes, and tcpreplay), Mageia (freeimage, libreswan, nodejs-hawk, and python, python3), Oracle (golang, nodejs, nodejs:16, and postgresql-jdbc), Slackware (emacs and mozilla), SUSE (dav1d, ghostscript, go1.22, indent, kernel, openvswitch, PackageKit, python-uamqp, rubygem-rack-1_4, shadow, ucode-intel, xen, and zziplib), and Ubuntu (firefox, graphviz, libnet-cidr-lite-perl, and qpdf).

Version 29.3 of the
Emacs editor has been released:
Emacs 29.3 is an emergency bugfix release; it includes no new
features except a small number of changes intended to resolve
security vulnerabilities uncovered in Emacs 29.2.
Those vulnerabilities mostly have to do with executing untrusted Lisp code;
see the
NEWS file for a bit more information.

The
6.9-rc1 kernel prepatch is out for
testing. Linus Torvalds described some rather large updates to the core
kernel code that are coming for 6.9:
The timer subsystem had a fairly big rewrite, to have per-cpu timer
wheels to improve performance of timers, which can be a big deal
particularly for networking. The other fairly notable core update is
to the workqueue subsystem, where one notable addition is for BH
workqueue support. That's notable mainly because it means we finally
have a way away from tasklets. The tasklet interface has basically
been deprecated for a long while, but we've never really had any good
alternatives (with threaded interrupt handlers being one suggested
use-case, but not realistic in many cases).

While a programming error in the kernel may be subject to direct
exploitation, usually a more roundabout approach is required to take
advantage of a security bug. One popular approach for those wishing to
take advantage of vulnerabilities is
heap spraying, and
it has often been employed to compromise the kernel. In the future,
though, heap-spraying attacks may be a bit harder to pull off, thanks to
the
"dedicated bucket allocator" proposed by Kees Cook.
