We create software for people, and the KDE Gear releases are the result
of that. Every four months we publish new updates of a large number of
KDE apps and software libraries. We create new programs to meet more of
your needs, implement more features so you can adapt to an ever-changing
digital world, and make our software faster, more efficient, more
reliable. We also port it to more platforms so you can run it on more
devices: your laptop, your game console, your phone, anywhere.
Read on to find out what's new in KDE Gear 23.08

Osmium Tool is a multipurpose command line tool for working with OpenStreetMap
data based on the Osmium library.

* Show the differences between OSM files
* Convert OSM files from one format into another (supports XML, PBF, and more)
* Merge and apply change files to an OSM file (with or without history)
* Create OSM change files from OSM data files
* Extract data from OSM history files for a given point in time or a time range
* Sort OSM files
* Create geographical extracts from OSM files
* Filter OSM files by tags
* Filter changesets by many different criteria
* And much more...

KStars can only build with devel/indi >= 2.0.0 since version 3.6.3, but
we currently have INDI 1.9.6 in the ports tree, so there is no point
keeping it as a dependency until it is updated.
Currently a no-op, but in the future outputs the correct setuptools
port depending on whether USES_PYTHON=distutils is specified.
With hat: python

on Python 3.8 too.

- Unfortunately, upstream had decided to switch from sane
version numbers to abominable "year.release" scheme :(
- Disable new fragment-shader-based direction computation
as it can make the program inoperable (hang) on FreeBSD

Security: CVE-2023-28371
This release fixes some rendering issues:
- On GPUs that compute mipmaps of non-power-of-two textures
poorly eclipsed atmosphere rendering now works as expected
- Atmosphere model examples now don't include Rayleigh phase
function in the texture -- this change fixes a "round cap
around zenith" artifact
