Today KDE releases a bugfix update to KDE Plasma 5, versioned 5.20.3 Plasma
5.20 was released in October 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:
* Plasma Disks: Actually erase devices.
* Plasma Network Management: Do not show absurdedly high speeds on first update.
* Fix missing “Switch User” button on lockscreen with systemd 246.

Flat Remix is an icon theme inspired by material design. It is mostly flat
using a colorful palette with some shadows, highlights, and gradients for some
depth.

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.
Read on to find out more about the new features and improvements included in
Plasma 5.20...

Thanks to mikael@ for the new port sysutils/plasma5-plasma-disks
Another QQC2 style fix; this is going to land eventually in KF5 5.76,
but applies to 5.74 (current ports version) and 5.75 (upcoming).
Reported upstream as and obtained from
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=427449https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/qqc2-desktop-style/-/merge_requests/35
The symptoms are toolbar icons in QML-based applications would not
be rendered (at all), while switching styles to Qt-internal styles
or disabling styling entirely would render the icons; this was
spotted by swills@ while packaging Redis Desktop Manager.

Mark the few remaining ports not building against this upgrade as broken
Instead of risking of missing anyone who got involed, I will just thank
all of them they will recognize themselves! This was a joint work of many

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.

* 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.
Full Plasma 5.19.3 changelog:
https://kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.19.2-5.19.3-changelog
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
