Unix and Linux News
- Linux kernel 4.20
- Ubuntu Core 18.10 got released – sounds like a pretty cool idea for IoT things. I must try it on one of my Raspberry Pi systems, but it seems it won’t work on Raspberry Pi Model 1.
- I seem to have forgotten Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 beta in my previous digest
- Bash 5.0 got released! Not just any software, but one of the most popular Unix shells!
Software News
- LetsEncrypt (my SSL provider of choice for all the self-hosted elements) reported 2018 progress and LetsEncrypt 2019 plans – 150M websites are using them now, impressive!
- in mid January, 4 issues with SCP in OpenSSH, Putty and WinSCP were discovered. Hope you were not affected!
- Were you affected by the DNS Flag Day on February 1st? Great initiative to highlight dependency on DNS and to steer users towards better implementations of it.
- Wine 4.0 got released, quickly followed up by Wine Staging 4.0.
- Kodi 18 platform got released, followed by LibreELEC 9.0.0 based on it
