Dominique Leuenberger ☛ Tumbleweed – Review of the week 2026/35
Dear Tumbleweed users and hackers,
This week saw the release of 5 snapshots (0820, 0821, 0822, 0825, and 0826).
It was an exceptionally packed week of updates, successfully delivering three major items that had been brewing in our staging areas. First, snapshot 0821 brought the entire Qt 6.11.2 library stack, laying a solid foundation for the desktop environment. This was immediately followed in snapshot 0825 by the arrival of KDE Gear 26.08.0, which introduces substantial productivity upgrades to Dolphin (with advanced regex-capable filtering and decoupled grouping), Okular (unified settings and improved annotating workflows), and Konsole (which adds Alt+Click drag-and-drop support).
