Some of our projects release on their own timescale and some get released
en-masse. The 20.08.3 bundle of projects was released today with dozens of
bugfixes and will be available through app stores and distros soon. See the
20.08.3 releases page for details.
Some of the fixes in today’s releases:
* Gwenview no longer accidentally shows the thumbnail view as a separate window with newer Qt versions
* Sending SMS with KDEConnect has been restored
* Fixed a possible Okular crash when selecting text in annotations

This version processes conditionals with similar restrictions as were
effective when the data files were piped through the C pre-processor.
Specifically, only the first word after #define is considered as the name
being defined. An error is signalled if more than one word is found as
argument of #ifdef, #ifndef, or #undef.
All calendar files distributed with FreeBSD or in the deskutils/calendar
port comply with the newly enforced syntax checks.
Dates are now printed as defined for the locale of the user, not as
defined by a LANG= assignment in a data file, which is now only considered
for character-set translations (if ICONV is set to its default value of ON).
Release 20.11.0:
core:
* More work on rendering of standalone Annot Widgets. Issue #806
* Fix crashes in embedded file handling on broken files. Issue #967
* Fix uninitialized memory read on broken files
* Save a bit of memory in Dict data
cpp:
* Fix crashes in embedded file handling on broken files. Issue #966
utils:
* pdftohtml: HTML and XML output includes font opacity.
qt5:
* Rename ArthurOutputDev to QPainterOutputDev
build system:
* Fix linker error when gtk is not in a default location
* Add some checks for gtk-doc support
* Reorganize GObject introspection config
* Enable CMAKE_LINK_DEPENDS_NO_SHARED

This update improves the internal pre-processor and makes it report data
file issues with filename and line number of the failed commend.
Several tests have been added to detect unmatched condition directives
(e.g. #endif or #else without prior #ifdef or #ifndef). An #undef command
has been added since it occurs in one of the calendar files tradionally
distributed with FreeBSD (and now in the deskutils/calendar-data port).
This update adds a default definition of _PATH_LOCALBASE that is required
to build the port on systems that do not define it in paths.h.
The order of events printed was reversed due to the way a link list was
updated. This version prints the events in the order they appear in in
the data file.

Today KDE releases a bugfix update to KDE Plasma 5, versioned 5.20.2 Plasma
5.20 was released in October 2020 with many feature refinements and new modules
to complete the desktop experience.
This release adds a week’s worth of new translations and fixes from KDE’s
contributors. The bugfixes are typically small but important and include:
* Daemon: improve consistency of the lid behaviour.
* Fix bug: Some user profile fields won’t apply unless they all have unique
new values.

This version of the calendar program includes data file locations
populated by the calendar-data port in the search path.
It is meant to provide this feature to users of FreeBSD releases that
have not received the updated calendar program, yet.
Development of the calendar program will continue in the base system
and the port will be updated to reflect changes made to the calendar
program in FreeBSD-CURRENT.
Different from the version in -CURRENT this port does not warn about
missing calendar files provided by the calendar-data port since it has
this port declared as a run-time dependency and it can therefore be
assumed that the data port has been installed with this port.
This port uses a preliminary location for the repository to fetch from.
It is expected to be updated to an official repository with updated sources
that eliminate the need for the patches that are currently required.
The to be committed calendar port will also be in this category and this
will place the data files into the same category as the program.
No revision bump since this port had not been added to misc/Makefile, yet,
and thus no packages have been built that mention the original category.

Everyday utilities and tools, such as the Panels, Task Manager, Notifications
and System Settings, have all been overhauled to make them more usable,
efficient, and friendlier.
Meanwhile, developers are hard at work adapting Plasma and all its bits and
pieces to Wayland. Once done, Plasma will not only be readier for the future,
but will also work better with touchscreens and multiple screens with different
refresh rates and DPIs. Plasma will also offer better support for
hardware-accelerated graphics, be more secure, and enjoy many more advantages.
Although still work in progress, 5.20 already offers users many of the benefits
of Plasma on Wayland.
Read on to find out more about the new features and improvements included in
Plasma 5.20...
