Releases are now in line with SUSE Enterprise Linux, with openSUSE 15.4 and possibly openSUSE 15.5 now expected to align with the SUSE Enterprise Linux releases instead of the anticipated jump to openSUSE 16.0 as would have happened before after this release.

32-bit versions are no longer available, only 64-bit (x86_64) ~~versions are~~ now ~~available~~. SUSE Enterprise Linux has not supported 32-bit for a long time and being more in line with SUSE Enterprise Linux, openSUSE now shares this trait. Most modern CPU's now support 64-bit (~~Late~~ Pentium 4's ~~and above~~ support x86_64). The rolling release, [[openSUSE Tumbleweed]] still supports 32-bit versions if needed.
