25 years ago today, Matthias Ettrich sent an email to the
de.comp.os.linux.misc newsgroup explaining a project he was working
on. The latest and direct result of that email (plus a quarter of a
century of relentless experimentation, development and innovation)
has just landed in KDE’s repositories.
This time around, Plasma renews its looks and, not only do you get a
new wallpaper, but also a gust of fresh air from an updated theme:
Breeze - Blue Ocean. The new Breeze theme makes KDE apps and tools
not only more attractive, but also easier to use both on the desktop
and your phone and tablet.
Of course, looks are not the only you can expect from Plasma 25AE:
extra speed, increased reliability and new features have also found
their way into the app launcher, the software manager, the Wayland
implementation, and most other Plasma tools and utilities.
Read on to find out all the details that make the new Plasma 25AE so
deserving of a celebration [1]

Changes:
* agent: Fix segv in GET_PASSPHRASE (regression). [#5577]

* gpg: Change default and maximum AEAD chunk size to 4 MiB.
[ad3dabc9fb]
* gpg: Print a warning when importing a bad cv25519 secret key.
[#5464]
* gpg: Fix --list-packets for undecryptable AEAD packets. [#5584]
* gpg: Verify backsigs for v5 keys correctly. [#5628]
* keyboxd: Fix checksum computation for no UBID entry on disk.
[#5573]
* keyboxd: Fix "invalid object" error with cv448 keys. [#5609]
* dirmngr: New option --ignore-cert. [4b3e9a44b5]
* agent: Fix calibrate_get_time use of clock_gettime. [#5623]
* Silence process spawning diagnostics on Windows. [f2b01025c3]
* Support a gpgconf.ctl file under Unix and use this for the
regression tests. [#5999]
* The Windows installer now also installs the new keyboxd.
(Put "use-keyboxd" into common.conf to use a fast SQLite
database instead of the pubring.kbx file.)
Release-info: https://dev.gnupg.org/T5565
1. Add FreeBSD's name for 64-bit POWER little endian,
2. Don't use -Werror:
/wrkdirs/usr/ports/security/liboqs/work/liboqs-0.7.0/tests/ds_benchmark.h:142:45: error: implicit conversion from 'long' to 'double' may lose precision [-Werror,-Wimplicit-int-float-conversion]
return (uint64_t)(time.tv_sec * 1e9 + time.tv_nsec);
Build two flavors, one compiled with LLVM13 and one with GCC. Mixing
compilers in the same build is too complicated for casual maintainance.
The flavors are installed into their own prefixes in /usr/local/afl++-gcc
and /usr/local/afl++-llvm which also solves the conflict with
security/afl.
