KDE's April 2020 Apps Update
A new bundle of KDE applications is here! In these releases, you can expect to
find more features, stability improvements, and more user-friendly tools that
will help you work more effectively.
There are dozens of changes to look forward to in most of your favorite
applications. Take Dolphin, for example. Windows Samba shares are now fully
discoverable.
On the topic of playing music: the Elisa music player is adding features by
leaps and bounds. This release brings a new “Now Playing” view, easy
accessibility through the system tray, and an option to minimize the playlist
whenever you want. Thanks to the recently-added visual shuffle mode, it’s much
easier to rearrange your music in the playlists.
These are just the highlights of what’s new in KDE’s applications this month.
Read on to find out about everything we’ve prepared for you.

This is the current version of KDE Applications <foo>.
Note that users of KDE SC4 should stick with <foo>-kde4.
This adds a slew of KDE Pim related ports and some of their dependencies.
Note, that KDE Pim has a history of working poorly on FreeBSD.
