This month in Fedora (October 2019)
October seems to have been a pretty average month with respect to the distribution of updates (some elementary stuff, some ruby, some python, some golang packages), but the total number of updates seems to have been slightly below average.
fedora updates
elementary packages
I've pushed an update for the Printers plug for Switchboard which fixes compilation with newer versions of vala. The patch was backported from upstream and will be part of the next release.

I also decided to update the Plank dock to the latest release candidate, which should include some fixes for commonly occurring bugs and crashes (for example, dragging icons on the dock).
