WetGeek

EbonJaeger As a reminder, there is no sync this week! (week 12) Enjoy your weekends!

Any chance that we might receive cherrypicked browser updates? Otherwise, would it be safe to upgrade Firefox and Brave from the Unstable repository?

Have a nice weekend!

joluveba those cherry-picks are for security updates addressing CVE's or required bug fix, generally. Just wait for next update sync, one week is not that long though.

If it is announced that Firefox has security fixes in the latest version we'll cherry-pick it.

Firefox 124.0.1 cherry-picked

Discord 0.0.47 cherry-picked

Will there be a new ISO image with the release of Plasma 6? 🙂

With every sync, we make snapshot ISOs. These are available every sync to our Crew tier supporters on OpenCollective. Beta Testers supporters get ISOs once a month. The next monthly ISOs will include Plasma 6.

The next public ISOs, which will have Plasma 6, will be for Solus 4.6, which is not yet released. No ETAs.

Im glad you all are waiting to send out plasma 6. On arch we are having issues with mouse warp in games with kwin and other stability bugs. These are gonna be addressed with 6.0.3, however I still feel its quite unstable.

ReillyBrogan

beefymiracle we have Plasma 6.0.3 in unstable. The problem is that at this point we have to sync eventually and downgrading back to 5.27 would be really difficult. We'll probably just have to bite the bullet and sync but keep track of major regressions and cherry-pick fixes as needed.

beefymiracle Thanks for the info with the mouse warp. That explains why in Age of Empires 2 the scroll over the map with the mouse is so buggy. Switching to the X11 session fixes it for me.

kaktuspalme

beefymiracle The kwin update resolved it for me. Now I don't need to switch to the x11 session anymore for Age of Empires 🙂

Today or Friday? (Just making plans...)

ReillyBrogan Will default still be X11 or Wayland?

brent

WetGeek I'm guessing Friday🙂

ReillyBrogan

FYI after discussion with the team we are ON with syncing Friday. This will include Plasma 6, we will not be reverting that. We will have a megathread with known issues and workarounds that we will be tracking and hotfixing as needed.

ReillyBrogan

zmaint X11 for now.

WetGeek

brent I'm guessing Friday

Yeah, based on Reilly's messaage saying it will be Friday, that's what I'm guessing now, too.

ReillyBrogan

WetGeek that's what I'm guessing too
