Hi all,

With the release of release-notes-openSUSE on Jan 26th, 2018 the SUSE
sponsored maintenance of openSUSE Leap 42.2 has ended.

openSUSE Leap 42.2 is now officially discontinued and out of support by
SUSE.

The currently maintained stable release is openSUSE Leap 42.3, which
will be maintained until Jan 31st 2019. See https://en.opensuse.org/Lifetime

Upgrading is easy. See the links below for instructions:

openSUSE Leap 42.2 was released on November 16, 2016, making it ca. 14
months of security and bugfix support.

It was the second hybrid distribution which used sources from SUSE Linux
Enterprise and from our community developers to bridge a gap between
matured packages and newer packages found in openSUSE Tumbleweed.

Some statistics on the released patches (compared to Leap 42.1):

Total updates: 1286 (-156)
Updates imported from SUSE Linux Enterprise: 648 (+141)
Updates provided by community developers: 638 (-297)
Security: 569 (-29)
Recommended: 677 (-130)
Optional: 39 (+3)
Feature: 1 (+-0)

Fixed CVE-entries: 2239 (-195)
Fixed Bugs (overall): 3887 (+152)

A huge thanks to our awesome packagers, community, and all involved
people, who made the next great release possible!
