November 07, 2020. KDE today announces the release of KDE Frameworks 5.76.0.
KDE Frameworks are 70 addon libraries to Qt which provide a wide variety of

Frameworks release announcement.
This release is part of a series of planned monthly releases making
improvements available to developers in a quick and predictable manner.

New default version for librsvg2.
Current versions of graphics/librsvg2 are using parts written in rust.
For architectures that do not have support for rust, and for people
who prefer not to have, or are not able to compile rust software due
to hardware limitations, the version can be chosen via this new flag.
The default on almost all architectures is rust.
If you prefer no to use rust, add the following to your make.conf:
DEFAULT_VERSIONS+=librsvg2=legacy
This makes the change committed in r554733 a bit more flexible for people
who are opposed to oxidation.

Detach from tree-wide default as coordinating with other maintainers
is expensive for little gain. User's choice is still respected.
llvm11 has better Tier2 support, more optimizations, reduces package size
and aligns with what contributors dogfood.
Notes from go help modules:
If GOPROXY is set to the string "direct", downloads use a direct connection to
source control servers. Setting GOPROXY to "off" disallows downloading modules
from any source. Otherwise, GOPROXY is expected to be list of module proxy URLs
separated by either comma (,) or pipe (|) characters, which control error
fallback behavior. For each request, the go command tries each proxy in
sequence. If there is an error, the go command will try the next proxy in the
list if the error is a 404 or 410 HTTP response or if the current proxy is
followed by a pipe character, indicating it is safe to fall back on any error.
The GOPRIVATE and GONOPROXY environment variables allow bypassing
the proxy for selected modules. See 'go help module-private' for details.
No matter the source of the modules, the go command checks downloads against
known checksums, to detect unexpected changes in the content of any specific
module version from one day to the next. This check first consults the current
module's go.sum file but falls back to the Go checksum database, controlled by
the GOSUMDB and GONOSUMDB environment variables. See 'go help module-auth'
for details.

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.
Announcement:

Most of the time, we use grep in a test, where its return value is
important. In this instance, it is only used for filtering, and we do
not care about its return value, so ignore it.

set pipefail changes the pipeline return status from being the return
status of the last command to the last non 0 exit status of any command
in the pipeline. This is needed to make sure all the commands in a
pipeline did actually return a non 0 status and not only the last one.

Some of our projects release on their own timescale and some get released
en-masse. The 20.08.3 bundle of projects was released today with dozens of
bugfixes and will be available through app stores and distros soon. See the
20.08.3 releases page for details.
Some of the fixes in today’s releases:
* Gwenview no longer accidentally shows the thumbnail view as a separate window with newer Qt versions
* Sending SMS with KDEConnect has been restored
* Fixed a possible Okular crash when selecting text in annotations

It should not be used to make targets do nothing. In such cases,
it's most likely the ports infrastructure which requires fixing.

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...
