Last Saturday, May 11, KDE Community released Kdenlive 19.04.1. When we wrote about the release of the latest version of the famous KDE video editor, we said that the first maintenance update for KDE applications is coming. We were wrong: KDE Applications 19.04.1 available since last Thursday May 9. For some unknown reason, probably because its social sharing system failed, we did not find out about this launch in its day, but it has already occurred.
En this article We are talking about the new functions that will come from the hand of KDE Applications 19.04, among which we can highlight new configuration options in Spectacle, Okular will be able to verify digital signatures or the improvements that will come to Konsole, the Plasma terminal application. Those news will not be officially released on Kubuntu 19.04, that is, using Canonical's official update systems and repositories. And is that the company that runs Mark Shuttleworth only updates the applications to correct bugs.
Install KDE Applications 19.04.1 from the Backports repository
As for the news that this new version includes, say that it only corrects errors, 125 to be exact. If I did not misunderstand, and I think I did not, KDE Applications 19.04.x does It can be installed in Kubuntu if we install the KDE Backports repository, in the same way that we can update to the latest version of Plasma (currently 5.15.5). To install it, just open a terminal and type this command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports
Taking into account how long it usually takes to make the latest versions of Plasma available from this repository, we can think that v19.04.1 of KDE Applications will be available for installation from Discover at any time. Another way to install them is by performing the manual installation, for which you will have to download their base files from this link. Personally, looking at the list, I think one already gets discouraged. Are you going to install KDE Applications 19.04.1 as soon as possible?
