🚀📊 Colecția de aplicații KDE Gear 26.04.3 a fost lansată! Aduce un plus major de stabilitate pentru utilitarele tale preferate 🐧🛠️

Comunitatea KDE a anunțat oficial disponibilitatea KDE Gear 26.04.3, a treia și ultima actualizare de mentenanță din seria 26.04. Această suită cuprinde sute de aplicații, biblioteci și plugin-uri care definesc experiența completă a desktop-ului KDE Plasma. Fiind un release axat exclusiv pe stabilitate și finisare, accentul a fost pus pe eliminarea crash-urilor raportate de utilizatori și pe optimizarea performanței de zi cu zi.

Iată principalele îmbunătățiri aduse în ecosistemul de aplicații KDE:

🔹 Managerul de fișiere Dolphin și Arhivele Ark:

Dolphin a primit corecturi importante legate de manipularea corectă a rețelelor Samba (SMB) și a partajărilor de fișiere de mari dimensiuni. De asemenea, a fost rezolvată o problemă vizuală care bloca uneori previzualizările miniaturilor (thumbnails) pentru anumite formate video.

Utilitarul de arhivare Ark oferă acum o stabilitate sporită la deschiderea și extragerea arhivelor de tip .tar.gz sau zip-urilor protejate prin parole complexe, eliminând închiderile intempetive ale aplicației.

🔹 Kdenlive și Utilitarele Multimedia:

Puternicul editor video open-source Kdenlive beneficiază de patch-uri cruciale care previn crash-urile în timpul randării proiectelor 4K ce folosesc accelerare hardware pe plăci grafice AMD și Nvidia. Sincronizarea audio/video pe timeline a fost și ea rafinată.

Playerul media Haruna și vizualizatorul de imagini Gwenview au primit optimizări pentru sesiunile Wayland, afișând corect culorile și profilele ICC pe monitoarele cu suport HDR.

🔹 Suita de Productivitate (Kontact & KMail):
Utilizatorii care depind de KMail, KOrganizer și suita Kontact pentru managementul e-mailurilor și al calendarelor vor observa o viteză crescută de sincronizare cu serverele Exchange și IMAP. Au fost rezolvate bug-uri vechi legate de indexarea textelor și căutarea rapidă în arhivele masive de mesaje.

🔹 Kate (Editorul de Text Avansat):
Kate primește ajustări la nivelul motorului de sintaxă LSP (Language Server Protocol), oferind o experiență de scriere a codului mult mai stabilă pentru programatorii care folosesc limbaje precum Rust, C++ sau Python, fără ca aplicația să agațe la fișierele cu mii de linii de cod.

KDE Gear 26.04.3 completează perfect peisajul actual al desktop-ului KDE Plasma 6, oferind o bază software solidă înainte ca dezvoltatorii să își mute complet atenția către următoarea ramură majoră de dezvoltare. Noile pachete sunt trimise deja către managerii de depozite ai distribuțiilor rolling release (cum ar fi Arch Linux sau openSUSE Tumbleweed) și vor ajunge foarte curând pe toate sistemele compatibile.

GNOME celebrates 28th anniversary, GNOME 49 beta available with redesigned search popover in Nautilus, media controls and shutdown/restart options added to lock screen, Webflow authentication support for Nextcloud in Online Accounts, Evince document reader replaced with Papers, per-monitor brightness sliders in Quick Settings, etc.:
https://9to5linux.com/gnome-49-beta-released-for-public-testing-on-gnomes-28th-anniversary
(Happy birthday, GNOME!)
(As for Papers, it's a decent one, but I prefer Evince, because I don't really like the buttons placed on the bottom right in Papers, because I usually have the university course book PDF opened on the left, Joplin tiled to the right, those buttons are "in the way" for my eyes lol. But Evince will probably stay available in the repos and on Flathub for like 8-10 or more years, like it's the case with many discontinued or inactive projects (see Adobe Acrobat Reader on Flathub lol) so I'm not too worried about this. Same with Portfolio on Phosh, it's ditched for Nautilus, which still isn't that convenient to use on mobile imo, but luckily I can still use Portfolio from Flathub.)

GNOME 48.4 released with improved update notifications in Software, various bug fixes:
https://9to5linux.com/gnome-48-4-finally-improves-update-notifications-in-gnome-software

KDE Gear 25.08 released with improved search in Dolphin, poll support in NeoChat, option to disable built-in adblocker in Angelfish, etc.:

KDE's Breeze theme drops colorful third-party app icons, in Plasma 6.5, Ocean sound theme has updated updated volume change feedback, system notifications for plugging in devices added:

This week in KDE: looking forward towards Plasma 6.1 – Adventures in Linux and KDE

#KDE #KDEGear #KDEapps #plasma #kdeapplications #Linuxdesktop

@tio 100% agree, brother! I personally like #Plasma the most out of all DE's, but as you said, it is just a matter of choice, but I actually embrace that all the projects may provide something unique and pleasing to everyone and that should not be a matter for the competition at all.

I also admire #KDE as a community of Humans with a pure drive to deliver not only completely free desktop environment, but a huge pack of outstanding #free-software (which is a #KDEGear and a part of that #MegaRelease6), including #Krita, #kdenlive, #Gwenview and many many others.. And all of that is completely free to use, awesomeness ☺️

If, whoever is reading this, you are already using #kde-software or just share the cause, you may consider helping the community by becoming a member with a donation or, if you like, just join and contribute to the software, report bugs, translate documentation and many more!

Kudos to the #KDE Team! 😎
