The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) development team is pleased to
announce the immediate availability of TDE R14.0.11.
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 improved support for user sessions on high
resolution displays, new TWin styles (SUSE2 and DeKorator), some other new
applications, improvements to ffmpeg support and video support in Kopete,
a revamped weather bar for Konqueror, a working KNemo backend and various
minor improvements and fixes to several long standing annoying bugs and
crashes. It also adds support for Debian Bullseye, Ubuntu Impish, Fedora
34 and 35 and Arch distributions.

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 If you don't have any local unpublished branch, you don't have much to worry since you can always clone the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.

The TDE team is pleased to announce that the main website refresh has
been completed.
If you have not yet noticed this, a refreshment of the TDE website was
performed a few days ago. You don't have to worry - layout remains the
same in principle. However, thanks to E.Liddell the web site is now able
to adapt to the device being used! Along with this, the menu structure
was simplified and the contents of several pages was updated.
Some parts are still waiting for an update, such as some pages on Wiki.
In any case, we wanted to complete the update of the core website before
releasing TDE R14.0.10. If you have any other ideas, do not hesitate to
tell us.
A substantial change that was done within the update is the replacement of
former CLA per DCO. As discussed in the mailing list, in fact, DCO was
used for a long time. Therefore, the change does not affect existing
contributors.
Note: In the previous announcement you could notice a typo - although
the subject stated R14.0.10, in the body R14.0.9 was incorrectly stated.
Obviously, at the end of April we expect releasing R14.0.10.

scheduled for April 23, applications freeze for April 27 and final freeze
for April 30.
I hope everything goes well.
Thank you for your support and help.

The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) team is pleased to announce that as a
donation from Michael (Internet Design Alliance), we have been given a new
virtual machine and disk space to create another new mirror.
The initial synchronization has already been performed and the mirror is
now included in the list of mirrors referenced from the primary
redirector.
Thank you Michael!

The Trinity Desktop Environment (TDE) development team is pleased to
announce that as a first step in migrating from Bugzilla to TGW Issues, we
have redirected to create new bug reports to be created as Issues in TGW.
When you use Report Bug/Request Enhancement... from the Help menu in the
application, you will be automatically directed to create an issue in the
repository belonging to the application.
When you want to create a new issue in the TGW web interface, without using
Report Bug/Request Enhancement... in application, you can first select the
repository that belong to the application and create an issue in the
appropriate repository - for example for the Basket application in
the 'basket' repository, for the 'kate' application in the 'tdebase'
repository, for the 'kmix' application in the 'tdemultimedia' repository.
If you are not sure which application the problem concerns and or which
repository belongs to the application, you can create an issue on the main
repository 'tde'.
To create issues in TGW, you will need to create an account in TGW instead
of the previous account in Bugzilla.
You can read more about TGW on the wiki:
