Today Thursday, November 5, 2020, KDE had something marked on its calendar. It was about the launch of the KDE Applications 20.08.3, and its landing has already occurred. This is the third maintenance update in this series, which also means it's the last. The next version will already be a major release that will include very interesting news, such as, and this I have to mention, that Spectacle will allow us to make annotations in the captures.
We have explained the above because KDE Applications 20.08.3 does not come with new functions (these they arrived in august), beyond bug fixes and performance and interface improvements. The project has already published the note of this release, and in it some changes that they consider the most interesting. You have a summary after the cut.
Highlights of KDE Applications 20.08.3
- Krita 4.4 includes new brushes, the SeExpr language for layers and new methods in layer filling, among others.
- Partition Manager 4.2 improves support for partitions with unknown file systems and mount points, and improved management in / etc / fstab.
- RKWard 0.7.2 has included many improvements, such as one that allows us to change the language.
- Bug fixes for everything, but KRename, Incoming and Konversation stand out.
- In addition, the project has presented apps.kde.org, which is a website where they are listed and we can search for any application in the KDE project.
KDE Applications 20.08.3 It is now available, but as of this writing only in code form. In the next few hours they will begin to appear as an update in KDE neon, and later they will appear in other operating systems that use the Rolling Release development model. In all likelihood, or should, in a few days they will also reach the KDE Backports repository. The KDE 20.12 apps will arrive on December 10th.
I know about the Qt versions, but I can't quite understand why the new plasma versions are being delayed so much in the Kubuntu backports. Could you inform me?
