Presage is an intelligent predictive text entry system.
Presage (formerly known as Soothsayer) generates predictions by modelling
natural language as a combination of redundant information sources. Presage
computes probabilities for words which are most likely to be entered next by
merging predictions generated by the different predictive algorithms. Presage’s
modular and extensible architecture allows its language model to be extended
and customized to utilize statistical, syntactic, and semantic predictive
algorithms.

Plasma 5.22 is here, and it is more reliable and stable than ever. By
cleaning up and refactoring code in the background, the Plasma desktop
gives you greater responsiveness and performance, helping you become
even more productive without hiccups or surprises. Enjoy a smoother
experience with KDE’s Plasma 5.22 desktop.
Plasma 5.22 has become more pleasurable to use through improvements to
the design and greater smoothness and consistency in transparencies,
blurs, icons, and animations. Moving things to accessible locations,
offering hints and visual cues, and creating new settings allows you to
customize your work environment to make it fit perfectly to your needs.
Following the true KDE spirit, the push for a more stable and attractive
desktop does not mean you have to renounce control over how you want it
to look or behave. Plasma 5.22, as always, packs all the flexibility and
tools for customization you have come to expect and love, and some more
to boot.
Meanwhile, the push to move Plasma in its entirety to Wayland (the
display protocol of the future) continues in full swing. So much so that
popular distros are starting to ship Plasma with Wayland by default. By
using Wayland behind the scenes, Plasma is able to include features and
bug fixes not possible to implement on X11, offering you a better
experience and more stability.

The C++-style comment marker "//" has been added with the rewrite of
the preprocessor features. Since this character sequence occurs in

from the calendar line.
Change parsing of "//" to only start a comment at the begin of a line
or when preceded by a white-space character.

USE_GCC=any has been equivalent to USE_GCC=yes in most cases (such
as i386 and amd64 since 12.x and depending on configuration 11.x,
most newer installations on other platforms, and 13.x across the
board).
Since commit 96c17633d9 Mk/bsd.gcc.mk is treating them as
different spellings of the same, so continue the deorbiting of the
USE_GCC=any form and simply replace it with USE_GCC=yes.
This should not make any functional difference at all.
