The KDE Frameworks 5 series is winding down, although it will be six months or so before it enters long-term support upstream. +* KDE Plasma Desktop was updated to version 5.27.8. Just like frameworks, work on KDE Plasma 5 is winding down upstream in favor of KDE Plasma 6. +* KDE Gear updated to 23.08.1. + +==== Related Ports + +The KDE ecosystem includes a wide range of ports -- most maintained by kde@, all building on a shared base of Qt and KDE Frameworks. +The kde@ team updates them all as needed. +This quarter, for instance, tcberner@ and arrowd@ updated or fixed (much more than) this selection of ports: + +* package:astro/merkaartor[] +* package:devel/massif-visualizer[] +* package:finance/alkimia[] +* package:irc/quassel[] +* package:net-im/kaidan[] +* package:sysutils/bsdisks[] +* package:sysutils/k3b[] + +Thanks to jhale@, package:devel/qtcreator[] was updated to 11.0.3, providing another featureful integrated development environment for creating Qt and KDE applications. + +==== Deprecations + +Web browsers are huge, and have a considerable security surface. +The venerable package:www/qt5-webkit[] WebKit port has been slated for removal and consumers have been moved to WebEngine. +The fork of WebKit that we relied on is no longer actively maintained.
