seatd is a seat management deamon, that does everything it needs to
do. Nothing more, nothing less. Depends only on libc.
libseat is a seat management library allowing applications to use
whatever seat management is available.
Supports:
- seatd
- (e)logind
- embedded seatd for standalone operation
Each backend can be compile-time included and is runtime auto-detected
or manually selected with the `LIBSEAT_BACKEND` environment variable.
Which backend is in use is transparent to the application, providing a
simple common interface.

Gnome Pango 1.42 and later is affected by: Buffer Overflow. The impact is: The heap based buffer overflow can be used to get code execution. The component is: function name: pango_log2vis_get_embedding_levels, assignment of nchars and the loop condition. The attack vector is: Bug can be used when application pass invalid utf-8 strings to functions like pango_itemize.

Tuesday, 7 July 2020. Today KDE releases a bugfix update to KDE Plasma 5,
versioned 5.19.3. Plasma 5.19 was released in June 2020 with many feature
refinements and new modules to complete the desktop experience.
This release adds a fortnight's worth of new translations and fixes from KDE's
contributors. The bugfixes are typically small but important and include:
* KWin: Make sure tablet coordinates take decorations into account. Fixes bug #423833
* Fix a KCM crash when no file manager is installed. Fixes bug #422819
* Powerdevil: Fix compilation with Qt 5.15, this hit the time bomb too.

This is a major upgrade of the Qt libraries [1], [2].
* People that use upgrading mechanisms with incomplete dependency handling
(portmaster & Co) should make sure to manually remove the existing Qt
packages to guarantee a safe upgrade. Keep in mind, that Qt does not like if
you have an incomplete upgrade.
* This version of Qt drops support for OpenSSL 1.0 -- this means that there
won't be any binary packages for Qt5 provided by the FreeBSD package builders
for FreeBSD 11.x anymore -- and the same for *all* the ports depending on
net/qt5-network [3]. If you cannot upgrade to a more recent FreeBSD
version (12.x, 13.x), you will need to build Qt5 from ports while switching
to an SSL implementation from ports.
Big thanks are due for
* kai@ for updating webengine (also mikael@)
* Felix Palmen for providing LibreSSL support patches
* adridg@ and lbartoletti@ for helping me fix the fallout

Tuesday, 9 June 2020.
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.
Read on to discover all the new features and improvements of Plasma 5.19…
