Packages of pinentry in pinentry-tqt flavor
by Slávek Banko 25 Nov '20

25 Nov '20

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 For users of these distributions, we recommend updating to a newer version of the distribution.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. -- Slávek Banko TDE Team

Restructuring of main modules in TGW has been completed
by Michele Calgaro 15 Nov '20

15 Nov '20

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

Restructuring of main modules in TGW
by Michele Calgaro 11 Nov '20

11 Nov '20

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 The complete list of bugs fixed in this release is available at these locations (please note that the two lists complement each others, they are not duplicates): * TGW issue list https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde/issues/29 * Bugzilla reports https://bugs.trinitydesktop.org/showdependencytree.cgi?id=3085&hide_resolve… * A detailed commit change log is also available at https://wiki.trinitydesktop.org/Changelog_For_R14.0.9 We would like to thank all the people who have contributed to the preparation of this release and we are looking forward for further contributions in future. -- Slávek Banko TDE Team
