Hello everyone,

We are happy to announce a Gold Master for SLE15 SP6 with some really cool
features and a new kernel.

The Gold Master media is only released to our partners in the Partner Beta
Program. The updated online channels are accessible to all members of the
Public Beta Program.
The images are identical to the GMC-202405 released for the Gold Master
Acceptance Week.

First Customer Shipment (FCS) is planned for Wednesday, June 26th, 2024.

The Release Management Team wants to say a big

           THANK YOU !

to everybody who made this release possible!

Thank you for your contributions of code, documentation, testing,
enhancement requests, and bug reports, which made SLE15 SP6 a great release!

Upgrading a PublicRC-202404 installation to the latest Snapshot
---------------------------------------------------------------
During the development of SLE15 SP6 all packages are delivered via the
Pool channel. These channels are updated with every new Release
Milestone. To not override an existing installation, the Pool channel
repositories on a Beta installation are set to not auto-refresh when
`zypper` is called.

If a customer wants to do an unsupported upgrade to a newer Release
Milestone release, they either need to enable the auto-refresh of all
Pool channels via `sudo zypper -r <repo-ID` or call `sudo zypper ref -
-force` before every update. The `<repo-ID` can be looked up via
`zypper lr`. Just like with Tumbleweed the usage of `sudo zypper dup`
is the recommended way of updating the system afterwards

Your Release Team
