What’s your Ubuntu 27.04 codename prediction?

Ubuntu 26.10 ‘Stonking Stingray’ is about to be released – but what will the next release be called? Right now, we don’t know, but care to take a guess? Traditional dictates that the Ubuntu 27.04 title will be made up of an adjective and animal (real or mythical) that both begin with the letter ‘T’. There’s been a tranche of terrific names of late: These tell us one thing: the codename combo is rarely an obvious pairing. On the adjective side, Ubuntu swings from silly (Saucy, Bionic, Disco, Hirsute) to professional (LTS’ have used Hardy, Trusty, Resolute) to “eDuKaShuNal“, teaching […]

Выпуск ynotbit 0.5.0, настольного клиента Bitmessage на C++/Qt

Опубликован выпуск ynotbit 0.5.0 — компактного
настольного клиента для децентрализованной сети обмена сообщениями Bitmessage. Готовые сборки подготовлены для
Linux (AppImage, x86_64), macOS (Apple Silicon) и Windows (x86_64).
Ключи идентичностей хранятся в отдельном защищённом паролем хранилище (Argon2id и
XChaCha20-Poly1305), а переписка — в зашифрованном документе SQLCipher, который
пользователь размещает там, где удобно. Сетевой узел работает отдельным процессом без
доступа к ключам и продолжает собирать объекты сети, пока хранилище заблокировано;
после разблокировки подходящие сообщения расшифровываются и сохраняются в почтовый ящик.

gThumb 4.0 has been released, and it looks like a brand new app

gThumb’s big GTK4 and Vala rewrite is now officially stable and available for download. I previewed the gThumb 4.0 alpha back in May, remarking on how much of a difference the UI refresh makes to the app – the long-serving photo manager looks like an entirely new app. Every part of gThumb’s interface benefits from the port to GTK4/libadwaita, backend performance is improved by using newer versions of libraries and desktop integration catches up – on GNOME, the modern file chooser with icon thumbnails is used. Greater use of padding and spacing gives everything – editing tools, file properties, settings, […]

📰 KDE Plasma developers squeeze a few more features into 6.8 just weeks before release

Usually, when a new version of KDE Plasma is on the horizon, its developers stop making new features and start fixing bugs. Polishing existing features instead of adding new ones is a great way to keep the final product from becoming a buggy mess. Now, with just over two weeks remaining until KDE Plasma 6.8 launches, developers have snuck in a few more features before the submission door closes.
