The april bugfix release for KDE Plasma is here. This wasn't
done immediately for the 5.21.3 ports commit that I landed
yesterday because I wasn't paying attention to latest
releases. Release notes are at
https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/5/5.21.4/
This updates the KDE Plasma parts to release 5.21.3. There is one
new port, plasma5-systemmonitor, which is the upcoming replacement
for KDE sysguard. It is not installed by default.
Release notes are at
https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/5/5.21.3/
Previous commits tidying up DOCS options left some non-
applications consumers without the necessary kdoctools
dependency, so (re)introduce that now.

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.

Plasma 5.20...

Plasma 5.19 is out! If we gave alliterative names to Plasma releases, this one
could be "Polished Plasma". The effort developers have put into squashing bugs
and removing annoying papercuts has been immense.
In this release, we have prioritized making Plasma more consistent, correcting
and unifying designs of widgets and desktop elements; worked on giving you more
control over your desktop by adding configuration options to the System
Settings; and improved usability, making Plasma and its components easier to
use and an overall more pleasurable experience.

Plasma 5.18 LTS is out!
A brand new version of the Plasma desktop is now available. In Plasma 5.18 you
will find neat new features that make notifications clearer, settings more
streamlined and the overall look more attractive. Plasma 5.18 is easier and
more fun to use, while at the same time allowing you to be more productive when
it is time to work.
Apart from all the cool new stuff, Plasma 5.18 also comes with an LTS status.
LTS stands for "Long Term Support". This means 5.18 will be updated and
maintained by KDE contributors for the next two years (regular versions are
maintained for 4 months). If you are thinking of updating or migrating your
school, company or organization to Plasma, this version is your best bet, as
you get the most stable version of Plasma *and* all the new features too.

Plasma 5.17 is the version where the desktop anticipates your needs. Night
Color, the color-grading system that relaxes your eyes when the sun sets, has
landed for X11. Your Plasma desktop also recognizes when you are giving a
presentation, and stops messages popping up in the middle of your slideshow. If
you are using Wayland, Plasma now comes with fractional scaling, which means
that you can adjust the size of all your desktop elements, windows, fonts and
panels perfectly to your HiDPI monitor.
The best part? All these improvements do not tax your hardware! Plasma 5.17 is
as lightweight and thrifty with resources as ever.
Important startup change:
With Plasma 5.17 the startup script has been renamed. People who use the
.xinitrc method to start Plasma have to call the new binary.
Previously:
exec ck-launch-session startkde
Change to:
exec ck-launch-session startplasma-x11

a symbol matches multiple clauses the last one takes precedence. If the
catch-all is last it captures everything. In the case of Qt5 libraries
this caused all symbols to have a Qt_5 label while some should have
Qt_5_PRIVATE_API. This only affects lld because GNU ld always gives the
catch-all lowest priority.
Older versions of Qt5Webengine exported some memory allocation symbols from
the bundled Chromium. Version 5.9 stopped exporting these [1] but the
symbols were kept as weak wrappers for the standard allocation functions to
maintain binary compatibility. [2][3] The problem is that the call to the
standard function in these weak wrappers is only resolved to the standard
function if there's a call to this standard function in other parts of
Qt5Webengine, because only then is there a non-weak symbol that takes
precedence over the weak one. If there's no such non-weak symbol the call
in the weak wrapper resolves to the weak wrapper itself creating an infinite
call loop that overflows the stack and causes a crash. Some of the
allocation functions are variants of C++ new and delete and it probably
depends on the compiler whether these variants are used in other parts of
Qt5Webengine.
Remove the weak wrappers (make them Linux specific). This isn't binary
compatible but we are already breaking that with the changes to the symbol
versions.
