A new USES has been added to depend on ImageMagick.
USES=magick
adds a LIB_DEPENDS on graphics/ImageMagick${IMAGEMAGICK_DEFAULT}.
If a specific version is required, use for example
USES=magick:6 resp. USES=magick:7
If only a build, run or test is required, use for example
USES=magick:build resp. USES=magick:6,build,test
If a dependency on the nox11 flavor is required, use for example
USES=magick:nox11 resp. USES=magick:7,nox11,run,test
See magick.mk for more details on the available flags.
The tree has been completely converted to make use of this.

Qt testlib is a library for tests; it is not generally needed
at runtime. Move it to a _build dependency for the KDE-related
ports that use it for their tests.
KDE Gear 21.12 has landed and comes with a massive number of updates and
new versions of applications and libraries. Literally, dozens of classic
KDE everyday tools and the specialised sophisticated apps you use to
work, be creative and play, are getting refreshers with design
improvements, new features and performance and stability enhancements.
What's new:
https://kde.org/announcements/gear/21.12.0/#whatsnew
Changelog:
https://kde.org/announcements/changelogs/gear/21.12.0/
Upstream changes:
- TkRemind: Apply window and text colors to all GUI elements
including buttons and status labels.
- The new ADDOMIT keyword can shorten reminder files.
- Update contrib/remind-conf-mode to latest release
- The parser does not auto-convert numbers 90-99 to 1990-1999. This
was messing up things like "DURATION 90". It also means you can no
longer abbreviate the years 1990-1999 as 90-99.
- Various documentation fixes
- When switching users with the "-u" option, call initgroups()
to properly set group membership list.

25 years ago today, Matthias Ettrich sent an email to the
de.comp.os.linux.misc newsgroup explaining a project he was working
on. The latest and direct result of that email (plus a quarter of a
century of relentless experimentation, development and innovation)
has just landed in KDE’s repositories.
This time around, Plasma renews its looks and, not only do you get a
new wallpaper, but also a gust of fresh air from an updated theme:
Breeze - Blue Ocean. The new Breeze theme makes KDE apps and tools
not only more attractive, but also easier to use both on the desktop
and your phone and tablet.
Of course, looks are not the only you can expect from Plasma 25AE:
extra speed, increased reliability and new features have also found
their way into the app launcher, the software manager, the Wayland
implementation, and most other Plasma tools and utilities.
Read on to find out all the details that make the new Plasma 25AE so
deserving of a celebration [1]

Go another round with the dependency-cleanup:
- ECM and doctools are still more only a build-dep
- Qt testlibs is a build-dep
This touches plenty of ports outside of KDE Frameworks
that did **not** list their full dependencies and could
get away with it because frameworks pulled in too much.
This update introduced a new build time dependency on inkscape,
used to generate icons during build.
I also added USES desktop-file-utils and shared-mime-info,
suggested by poudriere and it looks like they are really needed
since the port is installing a deskstop file and a mime info file.

Tuesday, 15 June 2021. Today KDE releases a bugfix update to KDE Plasma
5, versioned 5.22.1.
Plasma 5.22 was released in June 2021 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:
* KWin: Platforms/drm: support NVidia as secondary GPU with CPU copy.
* Weather applet: Point bbcukmet to new location API.
* Wallpapers: Add milky way.

Plasma 5.22 is here, and it is more reliable and stable than ever. By
cleaning up and refactoring code in the background, the Plasma desktop
gives you greater responsiveness and performance, helping you become
even more productive without hiccups or surprises. Enjoy a smoother
experience with KDE’s Plasma 5.22 desktop.
Plasma 5.22 has become more pleasurable to use through improvements to
the design and greater smoothness and consistency in transparencies,
blurs, icons, and animations. Moving things to accessible locations,
offering hints and visual cues, and creating new settings allows you to
customize your work environment to make it fit perfectly to your needs.
Following the true KDE spirit, the push for a more stable and attractive
desktop does not mean you have to renounce control over how you want it
to look or behave. Plasma 5.22, as always, packs all the flexibility and
tools for customization you have come to expect and love, and some more
to boot.
Meanwhile, the push to move Plasma in its entirety to Wayland (the
display protocol of the future) continues in full swing. So much so that
popular distros are starting to ship Plasma with Wayland by default. By
using Wayland behind the scenes, Plasma is able to include features and
bug fixes not possible to implement on X11, offering you a better
experience and more stability.

Thursday, 10 June 2021
Over 120 individual programs plus dozens of programmer libraries and
feature plugins are released simultaneously as part of KDE Gear.
The full changelog can be found here:
https://kde.org/announcements/changelogs/gear/21.04.2/
The C++-style comment marker "//" has been added with the rewrite of
the preprocessor features. Since this character sequence occurs in
ULRS, the reminder of the URL was considered a comment and stripped
from the calendar line.
Change parsing of "//" to only start a comment at the begin of a line
or when preceded by a white-space character.
Release 21.06.0:
core:
* Fix rendering of some extended latin1 characters in annotations. Issue #1070
* Support some not so well formed documents with password. Issue #1083
* Add API to get notified if the xref is reconstructed
* Add somewhat fancier left/right signature visual representation
* Fix crashes in malformed files
* Minor code improvements
qt6:
* Change some functions to return std::unique_ptr
qt5/qt6:
* Add API to get notified if the xref is reconstructed
* Add somewhat fancier left/right signature visual representation
* Don't assert when trying to invert singular matrices
build system:
* make boost opt-out if building splash
- Add dependency on boost to enable the splash backend.

USE_GCC=any has been equivalent to USE_GCC=yes in most cases (such
as i386 and amd64 since 12.x and depending on configuration 11.x,
most newer installations on other platforms, and 13.x across the
board).
Since commit 96c17633d9 Mk/bsd.gcc.mk is treating them as
different spellings of the same, so continue the deorbiting of the
USE_GCC=any form and simply replace it with USE_GCC=yes.
This should not make any functional difference at all.
