Welcome to a new issue of "This Week in KDE Apps"! Every week (or so), we cover as much as possible of what's happening in the world of KDE apps. Last Saturday a bunch of KDE devs (and a guest) met in my kitchen for a "Kitchen sprint".

Sunday, 29 June 2025
Welcome to a new issue of "This Week in KDE Apps"! Every week (or so) we cover as much as possible of what's happening in the world of KDE apps.

Particularly during the summer season, I (Carl) have a lot of social obligations and can't ensure regular updates with the small amount of time I have available. If you are a KDE developer, you can help by contributing your updates to the GitLab merge request on invent. In that respect, a huge thanks to Felix Ernst for doing that already for Dolphin.
