New versions of KDE applications landing in December
The release of new versions for KDE applications is part of KDE’s continued
effort to bring you a complete and up-to-date catalog of fully-featured,
beautiful and useful programs for your system.
Available now are new versions of KDE’s file browser Dolphin; Kdenlive, one of
the most complete open source video editors; the document viewer Okular; KDE’s
image viewer, Gwenview; and all of your other favorite KDE apps and utilities.
All of these applications have been improved, making them faster and more
stable and they boast exciting new features. The new versions of KDE
applications let you be productive and creative, while at the same time making
use of KDE software easy and fun.
We hope you enjoy all the novel features and improvements worked into all of
KDE’s apps!

Thanks to
antoine@ for the exp-runs,
tcberner@ for most of the prep-work,
the Gentoo community for cherry-picking patches
There are a bunch of changes in (implicitly included) headers, which
broke existing KDE Applications builds; that's why there are a whole
bunch of "patch-gentoo-kf5-5.61-headers" patches (taken from Gentoo
packaging). Those will go away with the next KDE Applications release,

July 11, 2019.
Today KDE released the third stability update for KDE Applications 19.04. This
release contains only bugfixes and translation updates, providing a safe and
pleasant update for everyone.
Over sixty recorded bugfixes include improvements to Kontact, Ark, Cantor, JuK,
K3b, Kdenlive, KTouch, Okular, Umbrello, among others.
Improvements include:
* Konqueror and Kontact no longer crash on exit with QtWebEngine 5.13
* Cutting groups with compositions no longer crashes the Kdenlive video editor
* The Python importer in Umbrello UML designer now handles parameters with default arguments
Changelog:

Cantor installs mimetypes from its .desktop files, so it needs
to run update-desktop-database after installation. It didn't, which
broke consumers that *did*, since then they'd accidentally pick up
the changes added by Cantor. This is needed for the math/labplot update.
a symbol matches multiple clauses the last one takes precedence. If the
catch-all is last it captures everything. In the case of Qt5 libraries
this caused all symbols to have a Qt_5 label while some should have
Qt_5_PRIVATE_API. This only affects lld because GNU ld always gives the
catch-all lowest priority.
Older versions of Qt5Webengine exported some memory allocation symbols from
the bundled Chromium. Version 5.9 stopped exporting these [1] but the
symbols were kept as weak wrappers for the standard allocation functions to
maintain binary compatibility. [2][3] The problem is that the call to the
standard function in these weak wrappers is only resolved to the standard
function if there's a call to this standard function in other parts of
Qt5Webengine, because only then is there a non-weak symbol that takes
precedence over the weak one. If there's no such non-weak symbol the call
in the weak wrapper resolves to the weak wrapper itself creating an infinite
call loop that overflows the stack and causes a crash. Some of the
allocation functions are variants of C++ new and delete and it probably
depends on the compiler whether these variants are used in other parts of
Qt5Webengine.
Remove the weak wrappers (make them Linux specific). This isn't binary
compatible but we are already breaking that with the changes to the symbol
versions.

Ports that build out of source now simply can use "USES=cmake"
instead of "USES=cmake:outsource". Ports that fail to build
out of source now need to specify "USES=cmake:insource".
I tried to only set insource where explictely needed.

A lot of KDE Ports share MASTERSITES, LICENSE and so one, as they are
released as a bundle upstream, however, there was not really a clean
way to share this information.
Using these new categories, we can simplify the Makefiles for the diverse
KDE ports.
At the moment we support the virtual category
* kde-kde4
In the future, this will be extended to
* kde-frameworks
* kde-plasma
* kde-applications

Plasma5 ports
At the moment KDE ports use bsd.kde4.mk to handle their dependencies. When
working on the ports for KDE Frameworks and Plasma5 it seemed to be more
reasonable to create a new kde.mk instead of adding an bsd.kde5.mk.
The kde.mk in this review is a stripped down version of the one we are using in
the KDE Test repositories plasma5 branch [1] to only contain the parts relevant
to the current KDE4 ports in the portstree [2].
Changes to the KDE Ports needed by this:
Replace USE_KDE4 by USE_KDE [3]
Add USES=kde:4 [4]
[1] http://src.mouf.net/area51/view/branches/plasma5/KDE/Mk/Uses/kde.mk
[2] The version in the plasma5 branch also handles frameworks/plasma5 and
handles MASTER_SITES via a KDE_DIST variable similar to bsd.qt.mk for Qt
Ports -- I chose to leave this out for now, as the diff is already large
enough.
[3] I chose USE_KDE instead of USE_KDE4, USE_KDE5, USE_KDEX as the version we
want is already specified as argument to kde:<arg>
[4] For KDE Frameworks and Plasma5 ports this would be kde:5
