Ubuntu 26.04 LTS makes it easier to enable Ubuntu Pro, Canonical’s opt-in (but free for home users) subscription that extends security update to more packages in the wider Ubuntu repos, straight after installation. An Enable Ubuntu Pro step has been added to the distro’s Welcome tool (package namegnome-initial-setup, with Ubuntu-specific modifications). This tool pops up to new users the first time they login after installing the OS.

Arch Linux перевёл iptables на бэкенд nft по умолчанию

Разработчики Arch Linux объявили о переключении инструментария iptables на бэкенд nft, выполняющий трансляцию правил в байткод nftables. Возможность использования классического инструментария сохранена в форме опции, но по умолчанию отныне задействован пакет iptables-nft, предоставляющий утилиты с тем же синтаксисом командной строки. Пакет iptables-nft переименован в iptables, а пакет с классическим iptables в iptables-legacy.

Mail-Advanced.ReadWrite permissions required to change sensitive email properties in Exchange Online via Graph API

Microsoft announced a breaking change to the Microsoft Graph API affecting Exchange Online: from December 31, 2026, applications that modify sensitive email properties -- such as the subject, body, or recipients -- on delivered messages must hold elevated Mail-Advanced.ReadWrite permissions. Until now, the standard Mail.ReadWrite permission was sufficient for these operations. The new permissions require explicit approval from the tenant administrator ("admin consent"). If you operate Microsoft 365 and have custom applications or third-party tools that interact with email via the Graph API, you need to audit and potentially update these apps before the enforcement date.
