KDE Frameworks 5.74 Released With Faster KTextEditor, Many Improvements

[Morty]

Is KTextEditor the same as Kate?

No. KTextEditor is only the part of Kate showing the text you edit. It's also used in KWrite and KDevelop, and probably in some other applications using an text editor widget.

Does anyone here use kdeconnect? I've been trying to get it to work on a Linux From Scratch build for a while. I had it temporarily work where I could receive messages, but couldn't send any. Now when I try to pair, it crashes the app. I was using 5.73.0 and plasma5 5.19.5. I'll try building with 5.74.0 to see what happens.
It does work fine on a Linux mint install (that uses much older versions of both)

I use a package from my distro, Arch, but I think at some point I had to compile it myself.

You are mixing Frameworks release with Plasma release, this fix will be in Plasma 5.20, scheduled for release tomorrow (10-13-2020), not at Frameworks.

Thank you for clarifying.

Yeah I've been using it since the beginning, it's great!
My only issue lately has been my phone somehow not always being connecting to KDEconnect, and having to start the app is not great if I don't know where the phone is..

To my knowledge the bug resides in https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/plasma-framework/ and looking at the commits it has been fixed around Aug 31 and should have landed in 5.74.0 release

This post is about a new release of KDE frameworks, the collection of libs written atop of Qt from KDE community. This issue you are talking about is related to Plasma, a different project from the KDE community.

Why does anyone think posting about bugs they’ve encountered here will result in anything. Post a bug report, and if there is a bug report please provide a link when discussing it.

I'm hoping Global Menu Padding Bug has been fixed with this release.
