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.

Tuesday, 31 March 2020. Today KDE releases a bugfix update to KDE Plasma 5,
versioned 5.18.4. Plasma 5.18 was released in February 2020 with many feature
refinements and new modules to complete the desktop experience.
This release adds a month's worth of new translations and fixes from KDE's
contributors. The bugfixes are typically small but important and include:
* [Image Wallpaper] Fix thumbnail generation when model is reloaded in-flight.
* [applets/systemtray] Clear item from shown/hidden list when disabling entry.
* [GTK Config] Construct font style by hand instead of relying on Qt function.
Changelog:
https://kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.18.3-5.18.4-changelog
- qca-2.3 drop support for OSSL<1.1
- copy devel/qca to devel/qca-legacy which is held at the current version
- update devel/qca to 2.3
- Add Uses/qca.mk which handles dependency on either of the ports depending on
the FreeBSD version
Users on FreeBSD11 must therefore change their pkg orign à la:
pkg set -o devel/qca:devel/qca-legacy

- Add options to choose which python version to depend on
- Make the deprecation warning conditional on which option is selected
Due to upstreaam support for python3 being experimental, leave the
default at python 2.
Plan is to switch the default to python 3 after 2020Q2 is branched
to expose it to more testing.
