KDE Testers Assemble! Plasma 6.3 Beta is here.

The first big KDE release of 2025 is just around the corner. Plasma 6.3 will be hitting desktops in about a month. Meanwhile, we need testers to try out the beta and submit bug reports so we can work on making it perfect.

⚠️ATTENTION KPhotoAlbum USERS!⚠️ Update to KPhotoAlbum 6.0.1! (floss.social)

⚠️ATTENTION KPhotoAlbum USERS!⚠️ Update to KPhotoAlbum 6.0.1!

Version 6.0.0 contains a bug that can lead to data loss in the KPA database. Several special circumstances must concur for this to happen, and the photos themselves WILL NOT be affected, only the tags.

However, if you have a lot of tagged photos, this will be a major inconvenience. So either skip 6.0.0 or upgrade immediately.

Some more KDE Connect goodness: during your presentations, use KDE Connect to move through your slides.

Or put your finger on the "Pointer", point your phone at the screen and a flaming circular pointer will appear. Higlight what you need by moving your phone.

The few euros that reach the projects, helps fund development. There are also some apps on Steam and it is the same idea.
