Fahrenheit, new releases and bugfixes

Welcome to a new issue of "This Week in KDE Apps"! Every week we cover as much as possible of what's happening in the world of KDE apps. This time again a bit delayed due to some personal travel.

Releases

  • Kaidan 0.11.0 is out. This new version of KDE's XMPP client brings Qt6 support as well as a few new features.
  • Tellico 4.1.1 is out with a few minor fixes.
  • Amarok 3.2.2 is out with some minor bugfixes, and improvements for building Amarok on non-UNIX systems and without X11 support.
