Собственно, сабж: https://news.opensuse.org/2021/04/28/opensuse-leap-153-enters-rc-phase/ .
Релиз ожидается в июне:
- May 14 - Translation deadline
- May 21 - Gold Master
- June 2 - Public Availability of the Release (5 to 10 days after GM)
- June 2 - Start of Release retrospective survey
- June 16 - Collect feedback from the retrospective
openSUSE Leap 16 пока что не планируется.
There is a projection as of April 2021 that Leap 15 will extend to Leap 15.5. Leap Major Release (15.x) extends maintenance and support until a successor. At present, a successor has not been declared
Впрочем, и между минорными релизами довольно существенные обновления. Например, обновление 15.2 -> 15.3 в т.ч. принесёт
alsa 1.1.5 -> 1.2.4
fpc 3.0.4 -> 3.2.0
glibc 2.26 -> 2.31
lazarus 2.0.8 -> 2.0.12
mc 4.8.22 -> 4.8.26
