The KDE Project today announced the general availability of KDE Gear 24.05.2 as the second maintenance update to the latest KDE Gear 24.05 suite of KDE apps for the Plasma desktop and other platforms.
KDE Gear 24.05.2 is here three weeks after KDE Gear 24.05.1 to fix two regressions in the KCalc calculator app that would cause it to crash when hitting the backspace key and break input chaining, fix a crash in KDE Partition Manager caused by clicking the remove mount point button, and fix a memory leak in kdepim-runtime.
It also adds the missing change notification for initial calendar loading for Akonadi-calendar, fixes icon caching in the Angelfish web browser, re-implements the ability to scroll lyrics with the mouse wheel in the Elisa music player, and fixes a crash in the KAlarm app that occurred after editing a new alarm while spell checking was enabled.
The KCalc calculator app received support for decimal numbers without integer part, the Kdenlive video editor received improvements for guide categories, timeline duration, and spacer tool with subtitles, and Kitinerary received new extractors for Georgian and Turkish Railways, an extractor script for Iberia reservation PDFs, RCT2 IRT detection pattern for Snälltâget, basic fallback extractors for hotels.com emails without schema.org data, as well as an extractor for RegioJet pkpass bus tickets.
