The WWW links to LinuxFoundation.org were hopelessly bitrotten,
point to the GNOME GitLab instead which is still wrong-ish,
but the links and documentation might be updated there.
Reported (and fixed already) upstream as well.

KDE Gear 21.04
Thursday, 22 April 2021
Welcome to KDE Gear ⚙️ 21.04!
KDE produces literally dozens of apps for work, play, education, and
creativity. Kontact, for example, gives you control over all your email,
contact, and agenda; Itinerary keeps you up to date with everything you
need regarding your trips; the KAlgebra graphing calculator works
equally well on your desktop and your phone; Cantor provides you with an
intuitive way of analyzing data and graphing the results; and Kdenlive
makes cutting and building sophisticated-looking videos not only easy,
but fun as well.
These are but a few of the apps releasing new updates today. When
combined with the KDE’s powerful Plasma desktop, they provide you with
most, if not all, the tools you need to be productive in a versatile and
flexible Linux^WFreeBSD environment.
But you don’t even need to run Linux! Many of the apps in this
announcement work on Windows, macOS, and Android as well. This is what
convergent means for KDE: use your favorite apps anywhere, on any
system, on your work computer, mobile or even on your TV!
And, remember: KDE’s apps, the Plasma desktop, Plasma Mobile, Plasma
BigScreen and all the rest of KDE’s software are free and open source.
No licensing, no hidden costs, no spying. Share them with your friends,
install them at work, or use them in your school lab. It is your
software to enjoy where and how you want.

There is a complicated interplay between ALSA and FLITE in
the qt5-speech port, and ALSA options in other parts of the
Qt stack. This patch tries to offer enough knobs to manage
the game.

This regeneration is required as the new gitlab version changed
the address and the directory the source files can be downloaded.
This commit also applies some small fixes to make sure all ports using
gitlab are buildable.

Gammy is a GUI tool for adjusting pixel brightness and temperature automatically
or manually.
It can dim the screen if its content is too bright, or brighten it otherwise.
This can help your eyes adjust when switching between dark and light windows,
especially at night or in suboptimal lighting conditions.

Dozens of KDE apps are getting new releases from KDE’s release service. New
features, usability improvements, re-designs and bug fixes all contribute to
helping boost your productivity and making this new batch of applications more
efficient and pleasant to use.
As gnome@ is lacking active committers at the moment, transfer some of its
ports [1] up the stack to the desktop@ group, in hope that this way we get some
updates in as the set of people that "should feel responsible" grows.
As soon as gnome@ grows some committers again, this can (and should) of course
be reverted again.
[1] The list of ports chosen in this move consits of all the ports that are
required to build x11/kde5.
