This week in KDE: It’s a big one, folks
Nate. September 16, 2022.
This week we have, like, a quadruple whammy. We released the Plasma 5.26 beta, annihilated a huge number of high profile bugs, added new features, and improved the UI throughout Plasma! ........

Thanks to marav.

This week in KDE: yo dawg, I heard you wanted stability
Nate. September 23, 2022.
People are always saying that they want us to slow down on the features and focus on stability for a while. Well, we’ve heard you and we’re doing just that for Plasma 5.26 in general, and specifically are focusing almost entirely on bug work during the one-month beta period. The results so far have been tremendous!...............
I set Dolphin file manager (under Slackware-current) the other day for sFTP access to my web site. It worked well enough but it was glacially slow to transfer files. Checked via command line and this was expected speed.
Anybody else has experienced this issue? It is bad enough that I will no longer use Dolphin for sFTP but I am curious to see if I have missed anything...

kde/kscreenlocker-5.25.5-x86_64-2.txz: Rebuilt.
Subject: [PATCH] Set QSurfaceFormat::ResetNotification.
This got lost in frameworks porting from shared KDeclarative code and is
important (especially for NVIDIA after suspend+resume).
Thanks to marav for the heads-up.
kde/plasma-workspace-5.25.5-x86_64-3.txz: Rebuilt.
[PATCH] set setInteractiveAuthorizationAllowed on SetPassword call.
It is important that the SetPassword call uses interactive authorization,
otherwise it will be denied unless the user had been modified beforehand
so an authorization was already granted.
Thanks to marav for the heads-up.

Making it easier to submit bug reports
Nate. September 28, 2022.
A persistent complaint KDE faces is that it’s too hard to submit bug reports. One obstacle was the giant scary list of products at https://bugs.kde.org/enter_bug.cgi. Well, no longer! .............
As announced at Akademy a few days ago, I’m honored that my goal – Automate and
Systematize Internal Processes – has been chosen by the KDE community! Those are a bunch of
fancy words, but the idea is pretty simple: get our expertise (knowledge, skill, and wisdom)
out of our heads, and onto KDE’s infrastructure.
