14 DAY TRIAL // The KDE Project released today a new monthly update of its KDE Frameworks collection of more than 70 add-on libraries to Qt, designed to provide a wide range of commonly needed functionality to KDE application developers.
KDE Frameworks 5.35.0 is bringing a bunch of changes to developers that either fix bugs or implement new features in many of the core components used by the KDE Plasma 5 desktop environment. For example, it improves error notification for Attica and adds VLC Media Player tray icon support in Plasma Framework.
Plasma Framework also received a template for the Plasma QML Applet with a QML extension, a new FindGperf module was added to the extra CMake modules, which restores the hidden-visibility testing with Xcode 6.2 and changes the default pkgconfig install path for FreeBSD operating systems.
"KDE today announces the release of KDE Frameworks 5.35.0," reads today's release announcement, where you can download the source tarballs. "This release is part of a series of planned monthly releases making improvements available to developers in a quick and predictable manner."
Among other components that received attention in KDE Frameworks 5.35.0, we can mention BluezQt, KActivitiesStats, KPeople, KDE Doxygen Tools, KNotification, KAuth, KI18n, KCodecs, KNewStuff, KCoreAddons, KWindowSystem, KDBusAddons, KWidgetsAddons, KDeclarative, KEmoticons, KIO, KXMLGUI, and KHTML.
