Heya folks! It's sync day, and that means it's time for the weekly Solus roundup!
KDE Plasma has been updated to 6.4.4. This release fixes bugs in the 6.4 series. The full changelog can be found here.
GNOME was also updated this week to 48.4. This is also a bugfix release for the 48 series. The full changelog can be found here.
The screenshot tool Flameshot saw its first release in 3 years this week. With version 13.0.0, the tool now uses Qt6, and brings many Wayland improvements. There are some known issues and breaking changes to be aware of:
- Mixed monitor setups continue to be an issue.
- The imgur uploader is disabled by default at compile time.
- The goal for Flameshot is to be a lightweight screenshot / annotation program. The imgur uploader is a program in its own right.
- The authors of Flameshot are increasingly privacy conscious. Having a misclick in a screenshot program accidentally upload sensitive data feels very risky.
- Once a plugin system is completed, users who wish to have an uploader right in their screenshot program can implement this in a plugin.
- Flameshot returns exit code 1 if taking a screenshot is canceled (e.g., by pressing Esc). This is to make Flameshot easier to integrate into shell scripts.
- Configuration window tabs were re-ordered according to their importance to users.
The full changelog for version 13.0.0 can be read here.
