Dozens of KDE apps are getting new releases from KDE’s release service. New
features, usability improvements, re-designs and bug fixes all contribute to
helping boost your productivity and making this new batch of applications more
efficient and pleasant to use.
As gnome@ is lacking active committers at the moment, transfer some of its
ports [1] up the stack to the desktop@ group, in hope that this way we get some
updates in as the set of people that "should feel responsible" grows.
As soon as gnome@ grows some committers again, this can (and should) of course
be reverted again.
[1] The list of ports chosen in this move consits of all the ports that are
required to build x11/kde5.

KDE's April 2020 Apps Update
A new bundle of KDE applications is here! In these releases, you can expect to
find more features, stability improvements, and more user-friendly tools that
will help you work more effectively.
There are dozens of changes to look forward to in most of your favorite
applications. Take Dolphin, for example. Windows Samba shares are now fully
discoverable.
On the topic of playing music: the Elisa music player is adding features by
leaps and bounds. This release brings a new “Now Playing” view, easy
accessibility through the system tray, and an option to minimize the playlist
whenever you want. Thanks to the recently-added visual shuffle mode, it’s much
easier to rearrange your music in the playlists.
