Microsoft update breaks email thread history in Outlook for Mac

A recent update to Outlook for Mac has introduced a significant regression that prevents the original message from being included when replying or forwarding. The bug specifically impacts version 16.110 and appears to be isolated to the Legacy UI mode. Users report that the composition window remains blank or contains only headers, making it impossible to maintain conversation context without manual intervention.

Первый тестовый выпуск композитного сервера Xfwl4 от проекта Xfce

После 6 месяцев разработки представлен первый предварительный выпуск композитного сервера Xfwl4, использующего протокол Wayland. Xfwl4 написан на языке Rust с использованием библиотеки Smithay. В качестве причины создания нового композитного сервера упоминается неудачная попытка реализации одновременной поддержки X11 и Wayland в существующей кодовой базе оконного менеджера xfwm4, который изначально был спроектирован с учётом тесной интеграции протокола X11, что затруднило отделение общей логики управления окнами от специфики X11.

Decades-old Squidbleed vulnerability leaks sensitive user data via FTP parser

A critical heap buffer overread vulnerability, dubbed Squidbleed, has been discovered in the widely used Squid web proxy. This flaw, tracked as CVE-2026-47729, has existed in the software's FTP directory-listing parser since 1997. The vulnerability allows a trusted client to leak internal memory from the proxy, potentially exposing cleartext HTTP requests, passwords, and API keys.

Homebrew 6.0 enhances supply chain security with tap trust and Linux sandboxing

Homebrew 6.0 introduces a significant security overhaul designed to mitigate supply chain attacks by implementing a new "tap trust" mechanism. The package manager now blocks third-party repositories, known as taps, unless they are on a pre-approved list or have been manually vetted by the user. This change prevents the silent execution of potentially malicious Ruby installation scripts from untrusted sources during the software setup process.

Download and install Windows 11 26H2 ISO

Windows 11 version 26H2 is the next annual feature update for the operating system, expected to roll out in fall 2026. Microsoft confirmed that this release uses an enablement package (eKB), a small update that flips the version number without replacing the entire operating system. The update shares the same platform code as versions 24H2 and 25H2, meaning installation is fast and requires only a single reboot. This article covers the new features, the support lifecycle, and how to download and install Windows 11 26H2 ISO.

Focus blur, nightlight added to Miracle-wm desktop

A new version of miracle-wm, the Wayland compositor built on Mir with an i3/Sway style tiling window manager, has been released. Developer Matthew Kosarek, an engineer at Canonical who develops the keyboard-driven UX in his free time, says the new v0.10.0 release delivers more improvements to the plugin system introduced in the April 2026 release, said to be “getting better and better everyday”. Plugins can now be used to set a blur effect on individual unfocused windows using a two-pass separable Gaussian blur shader. This helps set a visible cue that might help you focus more. A new nightlight plugin uses […]

Подготовлен Flatpak-пакет с графическим редактором GIMP 0.54, выпущенным в 1996 году

Для желающих оценить в работе ранние версии графического редактора GIMP подготовлен пакет в формате Flatpak с выпуском GIMP 0.54.1, опубликованным 30 лет назад. Пакет пригоден для запуска в современных 64-разрядных дистрибутивах, использующих Wayland (GIMP запускается через xwayland). GIMP 0.54.1 был последним выпуском, построенным с использованием библиотеки Motif. В последующих выпусках код был переписан с использованием собственного тулкита GTK. Версия GIMP 0.54 также примечательна тем, что именно в ней Ларри Юинг (Larry Ewing) нарисовал пингвина Tux, ставшего талисманом Linux.

ZXC 0.12.0

18 июня, после более месяца разработки, состоялся выпуск 0.12.0 библиотеки и кроссплатформенной консольной утилиты ZXC (github.com), реализующих высокопроизводительное многопоточное асимметричное сжатие без потерь и оптимизированное для игровых ресурсов, прошивок и пакетов приложений. Формат разработан по принципу «один раз записать, многократно читать» (WORM).
В отличие от таких кодеков, как LZ4, ZXC жертвует скоростью сжатия ради максимальной пропускной способности при распаковке.
Декларируется скорость распаковки на 10-47% выше, чем у LZ4 с уровнем компрессии по умолчанию, с равным или более высоким коэффициентом сжатия.
Главное изменение этого выпуска – возможность сжатия с использованием предварительно обученного словаря на основе репрезентативных образцов, что значительно уменьшает размер архивов с небольшими блоками или большим количеством маленьких файлов.
Версия формата контейнера обновлена до v6, а версия библиотеки SOVERSION увеличена с 3 до 4.
Проект написан на языке C и распространяется по лицензии BSD 3.
