The Trinity Desktop Environment development team is pleased to announce the
immediate availability of the TDE R14.0.13 release.
TDE is a free/libre lightweight desktop environment intended for computer
users preferring a lean and efficient experience. It is available for
various Linux distros, BSD and DilOS. Low on system requirements, it is
also an ideal choice for dated hardware, while still providing a fully
usable desktop.
Born from the ashes of KDE 3.5.10 in 2010, TDE is a fully independent
project with its own personality, community and development team.
This release comes with fixes for both CVE-2020-12755 (FISH protocol) and
KMail's EFAIL vulnerabilities. It adds Markdown support in Kate, a new
window style (twin-style-machbunt), a new tdeioslave protocol to gather
application information (tdeio-appinfo), several improvements to GUI
interaction and a new SFTP tdeioslave based on libssh. It also solves the
issue with opening files from media:/ and system:/media/ URLs from non-TDE
applications and is compatible with OpenSSL 3.0 API.
Refer to the links below for further details.

Dear users and developers,
we would like to inform you that a few months ago we changed the rules for
posting to the TDE mailing lists.
Each newly registered user is now moderated by default. If the user posts
messages with topics related to TDE, the user will be moved to a state
where his posts will be accepted without further moderation.
Existing users have been set up so that posts are already accepted without
moderation, so most of you did not observed any change in mailing lists
behavior. If a non-moderated user starts to suddenly send inappropriate
messages to the mailing list, we may have the need to move the user to a
moderated state. Hopefully this will never be necessary :-)
As you may have noticed, the new rules have successfully helped eliminating
mailing list spam, while at the same time usability comfort was
maintained.
We hope you are satisfied with the new policy and a big thank to those
members who help moderating the lists.

Hi everyone,
please be informed that this coming weekend the structure of the code repository will undergo some changes, as agreed
among developers and packagers.
The application folder will be re-arranged with the introduction of an additional category layer.
Existing applications will be moved and grouped into the respective category (see attachment for a preview).
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 change has been completed, so you will know when the new structure is in
place.
Cheers
TDE team
Dear all,
given the recent events going on in the Freenode world, the TDE team has
decided that the project and its users will be better off by migrating the
IRC channel to the new IRC network Libera.Chat, which is the successor in
the spirit of Freenode.
If you use such channel, please setup a new network Libera.Chat in your IRC
client to join the new channel.
Host: irc.libera.chat:6697 (ssl)
Channel: #trinity-desktop
For more information about what's happening at Freenode you can read the
links below or other resources on the internet.
