KDE Plasma 5.24 LTS will be in Leap 15.4
Hello openSUSE! I've had a short conversation with Antonio today and updated me with news that KDE Plasma 5.24 will be LTS. And the great news is that openSUSE Leap 15.4 (Beta) will have it. All dependencies are already submitted to SLE and we've received the green light even if some of the required changes to SLE would be after the feature drop deadline. As soon as SLE 15 SP4 includes the required changes (e.g. Qt 5.15), Plasma can be integrated into Leap 15.4, around Public Beta or one of the snapshots afterwards. So far it seems like we can make it with the current roadmap. Big thanks to Antonio and Fabian for working on this also to Stefan from SLES Release team for supporting us.

We're getting GNOME 41 this cycle too. For those keeping score at home: that's 2 for 2 on fresh desktop environments for openSUSE Leap 15.4. :) This will be a very exciting release, indeed. -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!

This will be a very exciting release, indeed. While I am really glad for that hard work that was put to the update it and it was successful, I think that should not be exciting, but that should be standard as every even version is expected to be "refresh release" with updated components - see Tick Tock model here: https://www.suse.com/c/how-suse-builds-its-enterprise-linux-distribution-par... and previous releases Leap 42.2, Leap 15.2

You'll also get Enlightenment 0.25.X, still needs some branding work so I guess you can make that 3 from 3 (if you choose to ignore the other 20ish that we ship in some form :-)). -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B

I'm only counting the ones that have said something so far. The ones that don't have their maintainers saying anything might as well not exist. :| -- 真実はいつも一つ！/ Always, there's only one truth!

Oh that reminds me I should update e16 while im there. As for the other desktops if they are there and they just work maybe they don't need new versions or highly active maintainers. Some people are happy with how there desktops worked 10 years ago and don't see the need for new shiny features. -- Simon Lees (Simotek) http://simotek.net Emergency Update Team keybase.io/simotek SUSE Linux Adelaide Australia, UTC+10:30 GPG Fingerprint: 5B87 DB9D 88DC F606 E489 CEC5 0922 C246 02F0 014B

Wow, Lubos, that is awesome news, after the GNOME and kernel news even more. Looks like 15.4 is going to be a great version. Thanks to you and all the others that make this happen -- Gertjan Lettink a.k.a. Knurpht openSUSE Board openSUSE Forums Team
This is great news, Plasma has improved a lot, especially on wayland, which I in Tumbleweed use by default. Il giorno gio 27 gen 2022 alle ore 15:48 Knurpht-openSUSE < knurpht@opensuse.org> ha scritto:
