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
Note about QML plasmoids and dataengines
There is quite a lot of work going on in plasma land at the moment.
