The KDE Project has announced the release of KDE Gear 24.08.3, marking the third maintenance update for the KDE Gear 24.08 application suite, tailored for the KDE Plasma desktop environment and the broader GNU/Linux ecosystem.
This update comes nearly a month after KDE Gear 24.08.2 and includes a variety of fixes and improvements across several applications. Notably, it addresses issues within the K3b CD/DVD burning software, enhances the Kate text editor’s capabilities for openSUSE Linux, and introduces WebP thumbnail support in kio-extras.
The KDE Itinerary application has also seen advancements, with new features allowing it to extract data from Thai state railway tickets and updates to handle various ticket formats and languages. Additionally, the Merkuro calendar app has improved its views, geolocation features, and filtering options.
Enhancements were made to the Tokodon client for Mastodon as well, fixing several user interface issues. KTorrent has been updated to support HTTPS webseeds, and further compatibility improvements have been made for several KDE applications, including updates to Kdenlive, Kalzium, and NeoChat to utilize Qt 6.8.
Several other applications, such as AudioTube, Cantor, Elisa, KDevelop, Konsole, Marble, Skanpage, Spectacle, and Zanshin, have also received various fixes. For more details, the full changelog is available.
