Although you may only notice the big releases, KDE contributors are at work all the time. KDE app developers are no exception and every month we compile the progress they make into release announcements like the one you are reading right now.

To avoid making these announcements too long, we pick a handful of changes to talk about, but there are many more and all are important. Every change, big and small, fixes bugs, improves usability, adds features and just makes using KDE apps better in general for you.

Read on to discover what is coming you way this November:

New releases

Krita 4.4

KDE's painting app Krita got a major new release versioned 4.4.

Some of the nifty features that come with this version include: brushes which can use a combination of the new lightness parameter with the mix parameter and use the texture strength parameter to mix gradient mapped brush tips and textures; the SeExpr language that lets you code your own fill layers; and new fill layer methods, such as a multigrid fill layer that generates (among other things) Penrose tilings, Quasicrystal structures, transformations for the pattern fill and a new fill layer option for filling the whole screen with dots, squares, lines, waves and more.

Krita is available in your Linux distro repositories, as a Snap or Flatpak package, as an AppImage download, and also in the Windows and Steam stores.

Partition Manager

KDE's disk partitioning tool Partition Manager released version 4.2. This version provides improved support for partitions with unknown file systems and mount points, and /etc/fstab handling.

Partition Manager is available for your Linux distro. It is also the basis for the partition manager in the popular Calamares installer used by many Linux distros.

RKWard 0.7.2

RKWard is an easy-to-use and extensible IDE/GUI for R, the programming language and free software environment for statistical computing and graphics. This month's 0.7.2 release adds a bunch of new features to our IDE:

• Script preview keeps vertical scroll position when updating
• Add function rk.home() for retrieving application paths, similar to R.home()
• Uygulama dilini değiştirmek için menü seçeneği ekleyin
• Libintl'e doğrudan bağımlılığı kaldırın
• Add "Check installation" wizard to test for several common basic installation issues all in one place
• Add rkward internal package location to end of library search path, to make it accessible to help.search()
• Desteklenen herhangi bir dosya türünü doğrudan açmak için menü işlemi ekleyin
• < text > elements in plugins may now also contain clickable links, including rkward://-scheme links
• 0.7.1 sürümündeki yeni kod ipucu özellikleri artık konsolda da mevcut
• Unix sistemlerde, RKWard artık kurulum olmadan çalıştırılabilir
• Kate addons are now supported within RKWard. Initially, search-in-files, snippets, and projects are loaded by default
• Python geliştirme betikleri python3'e taşındı.

You can install RKWard on Mac, Windows and for your Linux distro.

Hata düzeltmeleri

Konversation 1.7.7

Konversation, KDE's app for chatting on IRC, had a bugfix release. A new feature also adds support for SVG nick icons and, for the goths out there, adds a dark variant of the default nick icon theme.

KRename 5.0.1

KRename is a tool that lets you rename multiples files at the same time. KRename is releasing a bugfix version this month and developers fixed escapes in filenames with special characters, squashed a bug that closed the app if the progress dialog was closed and made icons look sharp on HiDPI monitors.

• KGeoTag bir fotoğraf coğrafi etiketleme programıdır.
• Neochat, Matrix sohbet protokolü için parlak bir çapraz platform anlık mesajlaşma uygulamasıdır. Kirigami ile uygulanan bir Spectral çatalı ve şu anda geliştiriciler Windows, Android ve Linux için bağlantı noktaları üzerinde çalışıyor.
