KDE Gear has officially launched version 25.12.1, marking a significant update that enhances over 180 applications and tools. This release not only includes various library tweaks and plugin enhancements but also addresses multiple issues across key applications such as Dolphin, Kate, Akonadi, and Elisa, among others.
One notable improvement in this update is for Dolphin, which has enhanced its performance during migrations from older session formats. Similarly, Kate has resolved a persistent crash issue associated with its Project plugin, effectively addressing the previously reported issue #513753. Skladnik has also been updated to prevent unnecessary mouse release events after drag-and-drop actions.
In terms of core applications, Akonadi received updates that improve its database configuration and storage handling. Akregator ensures its main window remains properly visible in the system tray, while Arianna has corrected issues related to saving font settings. Event Views now features better date formatting, and Elisa's Context View can effectively manage header labels that exceed available space.
Additional noteworthy improvements include updates to Itinerary, which enhance its performance and features, including fixes for APK builds and improved sort order consistency in the reservation manager. KAlarm has been refined with better comment handling, and minor tidy-ups were made across various applications, such as Kalk and KBreakout.
KDE Connect-KDE has achieved more reliable storage for device capabilities and tackled issues related to initial Bluetooth connectivity. Kdenlive also benefited from numerous enhancements in project monitoring and audio capture.
Overall, KDE Gear 25.12.1 focuses on refining user experience by resolving bugs and enhancing functionalities across its suite of applications. For those interested in a comprehensive list of all changes and updates, further details are available on the KDE Gear website.
In addition to these updates, KDE continues to prioritize user feedback and community contributions, ensuring that future releases can further enhance system compatibility and user interface coherence.
