The changes from the second quarter are included in this report. + +==== Infrastructure + +CMake was updated to 3.31.9, the latest release in 3.x series. +Ninja was updated to 1.13.1. + +Qt6 was updated to 6.9.2. +Both of the Python bindings for the Qt6 toolkit have been updated to their latest releases: + +* PyQt6: updated to 6.9.1 +* PySide6: updated to 6.9.2 + +The package:graphics/qt6-wayland[] port was patched to fix crashes of Plasma on Wayland when right-clicking the desktop. + +Qt5 was updated to 5.15.17 KDE patch collection. +Upstream standard support for Qt5 is officially over. +This might be the last update for Qt5 on FreeBSD. + +The package:www/qt5-webengine[] port has been updated to 5.15.19 with security patches up to Chromium 135.0.7049.95. +The Qt5 WebEngine component, however, is and forever will be based on Chromium 87.0.4280.144, which is over 4 years old. +Security updates for the underlying Chromium base have now ceased. Use at your own risk. + +==== KDE Stack + +KDE Frameworks, Plasma, and Gear release happen very regularly. mailto:kde@FreeBSD.org[KDE team] lands these updates shortly after their upstream release. + +* KDE Frameworks reached version 6.18.0. +* KDE Plasma Desktop was updated to 6.4.5. +* KDE Gear was updated to 25.08.1. + +Plasma 6.5 Beta (6.4.90) was ported but not committed to the main ports-tree. + +The package:net-mgmt/kf6-networkmanager-qt[] port with stub implementation for Linux NetworkManager was added to aid porting third-party software. + +==== Related Ports + +The mailto:kde@FreeBSD.org[KDE team] maintains a wide range of ports and updates them all as needed. +According to link:https://portscout.freebsd.org/kde@freebsd.org.html[Portscout] less than 0.7% ports are outdated. + +The KDE team would like to thank mailto:fluffy@FreeBSD.org[Dima Panov], mailto:arrowd@FreeBSD.org[Gleb Popov], mailto:jhale@FreebSD.org[Jason E. Hale], mailto:kenrap@kennethraplee.com[Kenneth Raplee], mailto:lbartoletti@FreeBSD.org[Loïc Bartoletti], and mailto:makc@FreeBSD.org[Max Brazhnikov] for keeping things up-to-date. +The KDE team is grateful to Harley (SponiX on IRC) for sharing his building box.
