- Update to version 4.3:
  * Added the new Investigator rule family to the Super algorithm.
  * Adjusted Super conversion scripts to handle Investigator rules,
    including a new toInvestigator.lua conversion script that will
    be mapped by default to Alt+I whenever Golly creates a new
    GollyPrefs file.
  * Minor improvements to error-checking and recovery in
    toHistory.lua and toSuper.lua conversion scripts.
  * Various changes to the RLE parsing code, mainly for consistency
    with LifeViewer..
  * Fixed a crash by limiting the scale to no more than 2^(2^20)
    cells per pixel.
  * Fixed a bug that affected all multi-state hashlife algorithms
    (changing a cell in a very large pattern could result in a
    corrupted universe).
  * Fixed some bugs handling filenames with underscores or
    ampersands in the Open/Run Recent submenus.
  * Fixed orientation of Custom neighborhood in the Larger than
    Life algorithm.
  * Fixed an assertion in progress bar update when downloading a
    file from a web server using gzip compression.
  * Better support for .rule files with very long lines. An error
    message is now displayed if a line exceeds the maximum length of
    4,000 characters.
  * The Pattern Info window displays Unicode characters correctly
    (assuming the comments are UTF-8 encoded).
  * 3D.lua has a Pattern Info command (in its View menu) which will
    display the current pattern's comments in the help window. You
    can also click on the new "i" button.
  * The Larger than Life algorithm now supports Aligned Checkerboard
    neighborhood (ND).
  * New script safeopenclip.lua will attempt to open the clipboard
    as a pattern.
  * Modified goto.lua to check for a number too large for Lua (if
    so then the script exits and recommends using goto.py instead).
  * File > Run Clipboard displays a nicer error message if the
    clipboard doesn't contain Lua/Python code.
  * Removed optional support for Perl.
  * Updated Lua to version 5.4.6.
  * Added a query command (for Lua or Python) that displays a
    modal dialog with customizable button labels.
  * Lots of new patterns.
  * Reformatted and renamed many Larger than Life and Generations
    patterns to use Golly native HROT format and/or an .rle
    extension instead of .mcl.
  * Deleted pattern: oscillator-stamp-collection-12August2022.rle
    (replaced by oscillator-stamp-collection-31January2023.rle).
  * The comments in a large number of existing patterns have been
    modified (broken links deleted or fixed, and the formatting of
    paragraphs made more consistent).
  * Added new rules required by some of the new patterns.

Update to version 4.2.

Lot of changes since 2.X, see https://golly.sourceforge.net/Help/changes.html.

Note that a lot of builds are failing because they are missing wxWidgets >= 3.1.5 with wxWebRequests enabled. This has been recently introduced in Tumbleweed (https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/1084562). Tumbleweed ports (i586, aarch64) seem not to have included it yet. For Leap builds, I doubt there is a demand for backport.

Maybe the solution would be to link (or aggregate) wxWidgets-3_2 from project X11:wxWidgets to project Education, for the versions of openSUSE which are currently failing.
