Bug fixes across modules such as KArchive and KTextEditor improve stability and performance. User-interface frameworks like KWidgetsAddons and Kirigami received visual and functionality improvements. Accessibility features have also been enhanced. If you use KDE text editors like Kate and KWrite, you’ll see better support for different programming languages like Cap’n Proto and FreeFem.

KDE Gear 25.04.2: Kdenlive benefits from this update with fixes for several crashes, including fixing issues for gradients, histograms, and rendering. The update enhances NeoChat mobile support with better space switching and room management. Calligra improves formula handling to prevent crashes, and Akonadi now correctly handles tag editing and deletion. KDE Connect gains better compatibility with Qt 6.9, and the Konsole terminal app also got fixes..

ceph 18.2.7: This major update includes numerous architectural changes, performance improvements, and new features. One of the most notable changes is the deprecation of FileStore, which signals a full transition to BlueStore for all new deployments. There were enhancements for RADOS, include the introduction of a read balancer and the deprecation of cache tiering in favor of more modern storage strategies. The perf dump and perf schema commands have also been replaced with counter dump and counter schema for improved counter management. Additional updates include IPv6 fixes, orchestrator stability improvements, and updated Python binding patches for mgr modules. This release also disables ceph-mgr-cephadm and includes various build and compatibility patches to ensure smooth integration with modern toolchains and Python versions.

python-psutil 7.0.0: This major update has some significant changes. Support for Python 2.7 has been officially dropped and aligns with broader ecosystem shifts. A crash related to extremely high memory usage in Process.memory_maps() has been resolved and improves the stability for processes handling hundreds of gigabytes.

python-rich 14.0.0: This major version update introduces new features and behavioral changes that impact terminal output and error handling. A notable addition is the TTY_COMPATIBLE environment variable, which allows users to manually control TTY support detection. This is especially useful in headless or unusual terminal environments where automatic detection may fail. Notable changes include how Rich interprets color control variables and it now displays exception notes added via Exception.add_note() that enhances debugging clarity.

Key Package Updates

webkit2gtk3 2.48.3: This update brings stability and performance enhancements for GTK-based web applications and browsers like Epiphany. A major crash fix addresses issues introduced by the new threaded rendering system using the Skia graphics Application Programming Interface; users who experienced instability with recent rendering updates will see improvements. Rendering performance has also been refined by optimizing how dirty regions are processed across worker threads, which leads to smoother visuals and lower CPU usage. Dirty regions are parts of the screen or user interface that have changed and need to be redrawn during rendering. This update enhances both the usability and reliability in WebKit-based applications on GNOME and other GTK environments.

python313 3.13.5: This update provides security fixes and stability improvements. Notable changes include patching CVEs related to tarfile extraction vulnerabilities, fixing a use-after-free in the unicode-escape decoder, and restoring correct behavior for random.getrandbits() with integer-like objects. Library updates improve the handling of IPv6 addresses, email parsing, and zipfile operations. Some generator-related changes from 3.13.4 were rolled back to maintain backward compatibility. Upgrading is recommended for all users to ensure security and stability.

iproute2 6.15: An addition in this release is the support for 64-bit hardware packet counters in tc_util, which enables more precise monitoring of high-throughput interfaces that exceed 32-bit limits. The iprule utility now allows users to specify ports in hexadecimal notation and it improves compatibility and readability when working with low-level network protocols or masks. All backported patches from previous versions have been dropped in favor of upstream-clean code.

kernel-source 6.15.0 and 6.15.3: The 6.15.3 addresses a PCIe hotplug issue where late-arriving device detection signals (Presence Detect Changed) caused unnecessary errors . It also improves how background tasks are handled in I/O scheduling and resolves regressions in WiFi driver compatibility . The update fixes target power management, cryptographic operations, and file system handling (including btrfs and gfs2 ) for better data integrity and performance. The 6.15.0 Kernel reverts the “x86/smp: Eliminate mwait_play_dead_cpuid_hint()” commit to address stability issues and enables support for the Haoyu Microelectronics HYM8563 RTC module that is widely used on ARM64 platforms like Rockchip SoCs. Several patches were integrated to improve ACPI build handling and a number of critical bug fixes from the 6.14.8 update were carried forward, particularly in memory management, DMA engine handling, and I/O subsystems, improving reliability under complex workloads and reducing memory leaks in error paths.

gcc 15: This update introduces new language support and adds packages for Modula-2 and Cobol, which expands its already broad range of supported programming languages. The main toolchain now defaults to GCC 15, the -build flavor remains at version 13 to ensure compatibility and stability for environments requiring a proven compiler backend. The release also includes performance gains, better diagnostics and expanded offloading support, which makes it a recommended upgrade for developers.

fwupd 2.0.12: This update adds support for HP Portable USB-C hubs, more Foxconn 5G modems, and Intel Arc Battlemage GPUs. Some new features include Thunderbolt host controller emulation, enforcement of immutable device enumeration and improved handling of UEFI secure boot variables.

Mesa 25.1.3: Notable changes in this version include fixes for rendering issues in games like DOOM: The Dark Ages and improved driver behavior across Vulkan and OpenGL implementations. Support for osmesa has been dropped as it’s now considered redundant with EGL surfaceless contexts. Several patches were updated or removed, including adjustments to build fixes, SPIR-V translation, and Clover OpenCL handling.

gpg2 2.5.8: This release has a key improvement in the ability to show revocation reasons directly in standard key listings (-k), making it easier to track why a key was revoked without needing additional queries. The update also ensures better interoperability with external tools by emitting revocation reasons as comments in “pub” records and improving compatibility with systems that parse GnuPG key outputs. Two critical regressions were addressed; one affecting decryption and the other impacting the export of SSH keys from smart cards. Additionally, gpg --fetch-key no longer requires a keyserver to be configured, allowing direct key retrieval from URLs or local files, which simplifies key management workflows.

cryptsetup 2.8.0: This release has a key addition that enables better performance by using hardware sectors with additional metadata space. It makes all keyslot types self-contained and improves re-encryption workflows with options like --key-description, --new-key-description, and support for resuming re-encryption using tokens or volume keys. The update also enhances memory handling for Argon2 KDF (used in LUKS2), and improves error reporting for low-memory scenarios. It also optimizes metadata writes in LUKS2 and expands veritysetup capabilities with options like --error-as-corruption.

pipewire 1.4.6: This update fixes crasher bugs in the filter-chain and Advanced Linux Sound Architecture plugin. Latency reporting has been improved in module-combine-stream, and the module-filter-chain now better handles activation and deactivation to avoid crashes. A new option allows users to disable RAOP (Remote Audio Output Protocol) via a context property, offering more control over audio routing.
