intrusive advertising, or surrender your privacy to unscrupulous
corporations.

Below you will discover a selection of the changes added in the last
four months to software designed to make your life better. But remember,
there is much, much more: games, social media apps, utilities for
communicating, developing and creating stuff… All these things have been
worked on to give you more stability and boost your productivity.

If you want to see a full list of everything we have done, check out the
complete changelog.

Update KDE Gear to 21.04

KDE Gear 21.04
Thursday, 22 April 2021

Welcome to KDE Gear ⚙️ 21.04!

KDE produces literally dozens of apps for work, play, education, and
creativity. Kontact, for example, gives you control over all your email,
contact, and agenda; Itinerary keeps you up to date with everything you
need regarding your trips; the KAlgebra graphing calculator works
equally well on your desktop and your phone; Cantor provides you with an
intuitive way of analyzing data and graphing the results; and Kdenlive
makes cutting and building sophisticated-looking videos not only easy,
but fun as well.

These are but a few of the apps releasing new updates today. When
combined with the KDE’s powerful Plasma desktop, they provide you with
most, if not all, the tools you need to be productive in a versatile and
flexible Linux^WFreeBSD environment.

But you don’t even need to run Linux! Many of the apps in this
announcement work on Windows, macOS, and Android as well. This is what
convergent means for KDE: use your favorite apps anywhere, on any
system, on your work computer, mobile or even on your TV!

And, remember: KDE’s apps, the Plasma desktop, Plasma Mobile, Plasma
BigScreen and all the rest of KDE’s software are free and open source.
No licensing, no hidden costs, no spying. Share them with your friends,
install them at work, or use them in your school lab. It is your
software to enjoy where and how you want.

Update KDE Applications (release-service) to 20.04

KDE's April 2020 Apps Update

A new bundle of KDE applications is here! In these releases, you can expect to
find more features, stability improvements, and more user-friendly tools that
will help you work more effectively.

There are dozens of changes to look forward to in most of your favorite
applications. Take Dolphin, for example. Windows Samba shares are now fully
discoverable.

On the topic of playing music: the Elisa music player is adding features by
leaps and bounds. This release brings a new "Now Playing" view, easy
accessibility through the system tray, and an option to minimize the playlist
whenever you want. Thanks to the recently-added visual shuffle mode, it's much
easier to rearrange your music in the playlists.

These are just the highlights of what's new in KDE's applications this month.
Read on to find out about everything we've prepared for you.

Update KDE Applications to 18.12.0

New ports: KDE Applicationsa audio/

* audio/juk
* audio/audiocd-kio
* audio/kmix
* audio/kwave
* audio/libkcddb
* audio/libkcompactdisc

This is the current version of KDE Applications <foo>.
Note that users of KDE SC4 should stick with <foo>-kde4.

Change header installation location for kdelibs4-based ports.

Install x11/kdelibs4's headers into include/kde4 instead of include (which
consequently causes several other ports to have their installation paths
changed too).

The idea behind this is to reduce path conflicts between KDE4 ports and the
upcoming KDE Frameworks 5 ports that will be installed into include/KF5. If
we continue installing the KDE4 headers into include/, we can end up in a
situation like this:

    c++ [...] -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/include/KF5 file.cpp

If the KDE4 and KF5 versions of a port have the same headers, the KDE4 port
will unintentionally be picked up first and the build will fail.

Most of this huge patch is just PORTREVISION bumps, pkg-plist changes and a
few patches to FooConfig.cmake files to make them look into the kde4/
subdirectory in include/.

Changes which don't fit into the above are:
- deskutils/kdepimlibs4: Import an upstream patch to remove some double
  semicolons that cause base GCC to fail. They have always been present, but
  since the faulty header was referenced via -isystem /usr/local/include
  this never caused any problems.
- devel/subversion, devel/subversion18: Update patch-configure. The current
  kwallet changes there date back to 2011 (r272490), at a time when the
  build could fail when both KDE3 and KDE4 were installed. Replace those
  bits with a change I've submitted upstream to use the kde4-config program
  to determine where KDE4's headers and libraries are installed instead of
  assuming the headers are always in include/.

Once again, huge thanks to Tobias Berner <tcberner@gmail.com> for being the
first one to notice this problem when working on the KDE Frameworks 5 ports,
coming up with the solution and bugging me until I had time to work on this
and ask for the exp-run :-)
