RHEL 8.5 updated qt5 from 5.12 to 5.15. This allowed us to update the KDE Plasma Desktop in epel 8 to the latest version, per the update schedule[1]. That update is complete, tested and pushed to epel stable. ** New Versions qt5 - 5.15 (5.15.2 mainly) plasma - 5.23.3 kf5 - 5.88 ** Known Bugs - When running in Wayland (not X11), the start menu and notifications pop up in the middle of the screen instead of the side. ** Next Update - Per the update schedule[1], the KDE Plasma Desktop will remain stable in EPEL for a year. That goes for both epel8 and the upcoming epel9. Except for bugfixes, we do not expect any updates until RHEL 8.5 and RHEL 9.1. ** Packages that were not updated These packages still work, they just aren't at the latest versions. - kpmcore and kde-partitionmanager -- Newer versions of kpmcore need a newer util-linux (2.33.2) (RHEL8 has 2.32.1) -- Newer versions of kde-partitionmanager need a newer kpmcore - digikam -- Newer versions of digikam need opencv with the DNN libraries. They are not compiled on the RHEL 8 version of opencv. -- https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2007780 - ktorrent and kf5-libktorrent -- Newer versions of ktorrent and kf5-libktorrent need boost 1.71.0 or higher. RHEL 8 has 1.66.0 Troy [1] - https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/SIGs/KDE/EPEL#Update_Schedule -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
