Active three
Today we have a new release of Plasma Active: quite some time passed since the last release last year.
Notifications, let the redesign begin
So, it seems it's that time of the year again... the plasmoid used in KDE Plasma Desktop to display notifications and the progress of transfer jobs started to really show its age, due to some bad limitations in the old QGraphicsview code to handle complex layouts, so it appeared quite buggy and not so smooth to use. Yes, I'm aware that sometimes it started to dance resizing itself several times in a row, and there wasn't much to be done on that regard... Until now :D

Plasma active device profiles documentation
The thing we always stressed out in Plasma Active is how the system is designed to fit a whole device spectrum, even if the first two releases are explicitly about tablet devices (and in the near future this is not likely to change ;)
Plasma QML documentation
Just a brief heads up. As you know, from now on the recomended way to write plasmoids will be using QML only, and using the new components api for common widgets such as buttons, sliders etc.
Plasma Active Two
Today, Plasma Active Two has been released. It has been a pretty hectic 3 months, a very short period that produced anyways a couple of significant architectural enhancements.
