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.
Full announcement and changelogs:
https://kde.org/announcements/gear/21.04/
For ports optionally dependending on Python 2.7, just mark those options
as expired. Remove konquerer from the x11/kde-baseapps metaport and bump
its PORTREVISION.

20.12.3 Releases
Over 120 individual programs plus dozens of programmer libraries and feature
plugins are released simultaneously as part of KDE’s release service.
r564687, expose D-Bus device handling support, which HAL option had
previously implied, via dedicated option, DBUS, and make it default.
While here, add a few missing FOO_CONFIGURE_OFF's, sort the knobs so
that "on" knobs are listed before the "off" ones, and reindent them.
Some of our projects release on their own timescale and some get released
en-masse. The 20.12.2 bundle of projects was released today with dozens of
bugfixes and will be available through app stores and distros soon. See the
20.12.2 releases page for details.
Some of the fixes in today’s bugfix releases include:
* Ark no longer crashes when closing the window while loading a TAR archive
* Dolphin calculates the folder size on FUSE and network file systems correctly now
* Konsole no longer crashes when exiting all tabs at the same time
* Dictionaries can be added in Kiten’s config dialog
* Umbrello doesn’t crash anymore if exiting when a widget in a diagram is selected
