KDE Frameworks 5.104 Out Now
What’s new here? Admittedly, I missed this one when I was writing for last week, would have loved to cover it, but it wasn’t out for me to say anything about at the time of last week’s writing.
· SDDM works better for touch now
o not that I’ll see this benefit for a while, as I just switched back to Manjaro, which lags behind the bleeding edge for the purpose of doing its own testing
· Plasma Wayland
o KDE app windows remember size better in multi-monitor rigs
o Regression which caused Baloo to crash frequently
· Major crashes with task manager thumbnails fixed
· Also improves Dolphin
o No more hang when displaying metadata on .mobi files
· Improvements to the “Get New” system when hunting for add-ons and extensions
· Many more small bugs were squished

TTT 50.3 – Latest News in LibreOffice
What’s new? Well, over 70 bugs got squished, so that is a big deal, and they have clearly been working hard over the last month and a half since 7.4.5. If you can update to the 7.5 series, do that as soon as you can. I covered the release of 7.5 when it happened last month. However, if you are still using the 7.4 series, and don’t have the option or desire to upgrade to the 7.5 series yet, the current series will be supported until June 12 of this year.
