The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) development team is pleased to
announce the immediate availability of pinentry deb packages, which are
built in pinentry-tqt flavor.
The packages are available for most distributions, all architectures,
except the oldest supported distributions - Debian 7.x (Wheezy) and Ubuntu
14.04.x (Trusty). For users of these distributions, we recommend updating
to a newer version of the distribution.
I would like to thank Emanoil Kotsev in particular for his efforts to
incorporate the TQt flavor of pinentry into pinentry upstream.

Dear all,
as previously announced here:
https://mail.trinitydesktop.org/mailman3/hyperkitty/list/announcements@trin…
this weekend we have moved the core packages to a new 'core' sub folder.
1) If you don't have any local branches and you just use the source code as is, you just need to run:
./scripts/switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean
as usual to get your local copy properly updated. It will take longer than usual because all the 19 core packages will
need to be cloned again.
You may have to remove old directories in tde/.git/modules/main (not in tde/.git/modules/main/core) at the end of the
update which are no longer used. The new cloned module git info will be in tde/.git/modules/main/core
2) If you are a developer and you are using worktrees, you can follow the procedure above as well and all should be fine.
3) If you are a developer using standard git repositories (no worktrees) and you have local branches that you would like
to keep, things are more complicated and will require manual work.
We recommend to:
A) make a full backup of your local repository copy
B) run ./scripts/switch_all_submodules_to_head_and_clean, this will update your local copy creating new copies of the
core modules
C) merge your local branches from the original backup into your new copy of the core modules.
4) If you don't want to clone the repositories at all, you will need to manually move folders and edit various git
configurations files. It works and you don't lose any information, but it is a tricky process and requires good
knowledge of git and its configuration. Do it at your own risk!
Cheers
Michele
Hi everyone,
please be informed that this coming Saturday the structure of the code repository will undergo some changes.
All the main modules will be moved under a "core" folder, as detailed by the following PR:
https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde/pulls/38
The change will alter the hierarchy of submodules for the main TDE repository. As a precautionary measure, it is
recommended you backup your local copy of the affected repositories in case you have some local branches not published
anywhere.
If you don't have any local unpublished branch, you don't have much to worry since you can always clone the repository
again.
A follow up announcement will be sent once the PR has been merged, so you will know when the new structure is in place.
The affected modules are:
tdeaccessibility, tdeadmin, tdebase, tdeedu, tdegraphics, tdelibs, tdenetwork, tdesdk, tdeutils, tdewebdev,
tdeaddons, tdeartwork, tdebindings, tdegames, tde-i18n, tdemultimedia, tdepim, tdetoys, tdevelop
Cheers
Michele
The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) development team is pleased to
announce the immediate availability of TDE R14.0.9. Albeit being a
maintenance release, this version brings along a bunch of new applications
to expand the offer of the TDE desktop and provide a more modern look.
TDE is a complete software desktop environment designed for Unix-like
operating systems, intended for computer users preferring a traditional
desktop model, and is free/libre software. Born as a fork of KDE 3.5 back
in 2010, TDE is now a fully independent project with its own personality
and development team, available for various Linux distros, BSD and DilOS.
This release comes with new styles providing better look and feel (Baghira,
Domino, Ia Ora), new widgets (KoolDock and TastyMenu), new utilities
(KXMLEditor, Mathemagics, Qalculate) and new applications (Codeine,
TDEDocker, TDEPacman). It also adds support for Xine 1.2.10, improves
compatibility with PulseAudio, fixes various bugs, adds support for
brightness control from keyboard and integrates CVE-2020-17507 to prevent
buffer overflow in XBM parsers.
The full version of the Release Notes is available at
https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Release_Notes_For_R14.0.9
