Over 120 individual programs plus dozens of programmer libraries and
feature plugins are released simultaneously as part of KDE Gear.
Today they all get new bugfix source releases with updated translations,
including:
* kmail: Fix an infinite SSL error dialog loop
* konqueror: Make it compatible with KIO 5.86.0 and don’t open every
URL in a new window
* libksane: Fix multi page detection with certain scanners
Full announcement:

Briefly:
Jordan now starts DST on February's last Thursday.
Samoa no longer observes DST.
Merge more location-based Zones whose timestamps agree since 1970.
Move some backward-compatibility links to 'backward'.
Rename Pacific/Enderbury to Pacific/Kanton.
Correct many pre-1993 transitions in Malawi, Portugal, etc.
A number of test cases included in the pexpect distribution failed on
FreeBSD. The patches included in the commit fix most of these tests.
One of the tests used /bin/bash and long options for the nl command.
Other tests assumed pipe buffers larger than provided by FreeBSD.
3 tests are still failing:
tests/test_replwrap.py::REPLWrapTestCase::test_existing_spawn FAILED
The text received contains bracketed paste escape characters when
a bash version 5.1 or newer is installed. There may be another problem
with this test, though, since it seems to depend on some bash rc file
of the account executing this test.
tests/test_socket.py::ExpectTestCase::test_interrupt FAILED
tests/test_socket.py::ExpectTestCase::test_multiple_interrupts FAILED
These two test seem to fail due to an early exit of the sending
process. It appears to be in Zombie state and cannot be signaled.
The "non-blocking read" seems to be blocking in this situation.
The real cause is unclear, it seems to be a mismatch between process
lifetime semantics in Linux and FreeBSD. I have removed an infinite
wait loop with these patches, which causes a test failure to be
detected (instead of preventing the execution of any further test
cases).
I have created a pull request on Github to get these patches into the
upstream, but it seems that the owner of the pexpect repository is not
very active.

In 2017, GNU diff had been replaced by BSD licensed diff in our base,
but some features of GNU diff had not been implemented, particularly,
the ``group format'' family of options. Instead of checking for the
${OSVERSION} value, check if installed diff(1) implementation is GNU
or BSD one based on the --version output.
Because conditions are subject to immediate expansion, we cannot use
${DIFF} and ${GREP} variables; however, literal ``diff'' is actually
correct in this particular case as user's preferred diff(1) does not
necessarily point to ``/usr/bin/diff'' which ${DIFF} expands to.
While here, amend the EDITOR option description so it clearly refers
to the internal *text* editor.
in preparation for the split in base of libtinfo and libncurses, clearly
specify when the packages should link against.
Note this also fixes the build with ports ncurses
- Use correct helper for X11 option, which is --with-x, not --enable-x
- Do not pass bogus --without-smb-foobar=... options when SMB support
is disabled
- Allow to build with Aspell support in the internal editor while here

Full Changelog:
https://kde.org/announcements/changelogs/gear/21.08.1/
- Update CliFM to version 1.2.1 which is more FreeBSD-friendly
out of the box now; adjust the LICENSE (it's GPLv2 or later)
- Drop dependency on GNU make, custom MAKE_ENV, and `post-patch'
target now that Makefile had been improved upstream
- Do not depend on phony build target to avoid needless rebuild
of the program upon installation
- Install extra color themes by default (but allow to opt-out)
- Spell ``command line'' correctly in the port description text
Reported by: portscout
- fallback on cffi to detect stdout/stderr pointers
- use F_SETPIPE_SZ to set large pipe page size, if available
- use Bytes/StringIO for pipes
Changelog: https://github.com/minrk/wurlitzer/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md
Reported by: portscout, Repology
- Don't try to patch up unsupported compiler warning options and fix
the configure script detection logic instead (it correctly passes
-Werror in Clang's case, but assumes that $CC is literally called
`clang' which is, of course, wrong on both FreeBSD and in general)
- Keep the UNRAR_VERSION adjustment for now: even though it had been
fixed upstream, with version 7 it would brake again
- Expand the creator line in the Makefile to include Torsten's full
name, with his permission. We have other people named Torsten in
the project these days, and this change makes it less confusing
