KDE developer Nate Graham is out with his usual weekly summart of all the changes to take place this past week for the open-source desktop. Among the highlights this week are:
- KWrite now internally uses the "exact same" code-base as the Kate text editor. However, KWrite simply turns off a lot of programmer-centric features. This revamped KWrite will be introduced for version 22.08.
- Many improvements to KDE Plasma's Tablet Mode to enhance the touch friendliness of the desktop and other improvements to ease tablet use.
- KDE Plasma 5.24.4 restores support for being able to power off monitors in multi-monitor setups when disabling them.
- KIO-FUSE support for open/save dialogs within sandboxed apps for accessing Samba shares and similar network locations.
- Many different UI improvements/fixes.
Head on over to Nate's blog to learn more about these changes.
