KDE develops different types of software. What is most striking is Plasma, the graphical environment that Kubuntu uses and is offered as an option in most major distributions. Its Frameworks, a group of libraries that are like the grease that makes the machinery work, are less striking. Somewhere in the middle, and since we've mentioned the machines, we have the gear, and this afternoon it's launched KDE Gear 22.08.1.
KDE Gear 22.08.1 is the first maintenance update of the app suite released in August 2022. Useful new features were introduced last month, such as Gwenview now being able to annotate images that weren't taken with Spactacle or Kalendar supporting contacts, but nothing is born perfect, and point versions are released to fix what didn't go right. initially.
KDE Gear 22.08.1, first point update of the suite of August apps
KDE has published a note announcing the release and some others, such as where they provide us with the full list of changes. There have not been many: in total 80 bugs have been fixed. What someone like me, who has been looking at these lists for a long time, is struck by the fact that Kdenlive has once again been one of the ones that has received the most corrections, but the list has only 9 patches, the same as kitineraty. In fact, this time it has been beaten by Kate's corrections, but by the minimum (10).
KDE Gear 22.08.1 has been announced this afternoon in Spain, and that means that the code is available, but the apps are not in most cases. If nothing strange, they should be coming soon, if they haven't already, to KDE neon, followed by teams that have the KDE Backports repository added. It will reach the rest of the distributions depending on their development model.
