Today KDE releases a bugfix update to KDE Plasma 5, versioned 5.20.5. Plasma
5.20 was released in October with many feature refinements and new modules to
complete the desktop experience.
This release adds a month’s worth of new translations and fixes from KDE’s
contributors. The bugfixes are typically small but important and include:
* Plasma NM: Fix password entry jumping to different networks with wifi scanning, by pausing the scan when appropriate.
* Plasma PA: Read text color from proper theme.
* Plasma Workspace: Move keyboard positioning in the keyboard itself.
Announcement:
https://kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.20.5/
Upstream announce: https://xfce.org/about/news/?post=1608595200
This XFCE release dropped support for GTK2 plugins and also dropped
GTK2 from all components.
WARNING: please check UPDATING before upgrading your packages. In
case of problems also read the libexo pkg-message.
Due to this some panel plugins and libraries will be removed since
they cannot compile anymore:
- print/xfce4-print
- x11/xfce4-quicklauncher-plugin
- x11/xfce4-wmdock-plugin
- x11-toolkits/libxfce4gui
These further components also fail to build or work and are being
marked BROKEN, deprecated and marked for removal:
- science/xfce4-equake-plugin
- x11/xfce4-embed-plugin
- deskutils/orage
- deskutils/xfce4-volumed [1]
deskutils/xfce4-notes-plugin will be also marked BROKEN, but there
is active development in it's upstream repository and a fixed release
is expected soon.
deskutils/xfce4-generic-slider will also be marked broken, since
it fails to compile. [2]

This version uses Python 3 instead of the expired Python 2.7
From the main PR (249856):
" There are a couple known issues:
* x11-fm/nemo crashes upon closing a window or tab.
* x11/cinnamon-screensaver unlocking doesn't work, most likely due to a missing PAM (Linux-PAM?) integration.
Both of these issues are being worked on.
I've been dogfooding since Cinnamon 4.0, and apart from those issues, everything works."
