KDE: Update KDE Gear to 23.08

Thursday, 24 August 2023

We create software for people, and the KDE Gear releases are the result
of that. Every four months we publish new updates of a large number of
KDE apps and software libraries. We create new programs to meet more of
your needs, implement more features so you can adapt to an ever-changing
digital world, and make our software faster, more efficient, more
reliable. We also port it to more platforms so you can run it on more
devices: your laptop, your game console, your phone, anywhere.

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.

devel/kio-extras: Remove the htmlthumbnailer.

Albert Astals Cids reports:

The HTML thumbnailer was incorrectly accessing some content of
remote URLs listed in HTML files. This meant that the owners of the servers
referred in HTML files in your system could have seen in their access logs
your IP address every time the thumbnailer tried to create the thumbnail.

Use the suggested workaround, and remove the htmlthumbnailer.
