December 17. Today KDE released KDE Applications 14.12. This release brings new features and bug fixes to more than a hundred applications. Most of these applications are based on the KDE Development Platform 4; some have been converted to the new KDE Frameworks 5, a set of modularized libraries that are based on Qt5, the latest version of this popular cross-platform application framework.
Libkface is new in this release; it is a library to enable face detection and face recognition in photographs.
The release includes the first KDE Frameworks 5-based versions of Kate and KWrite, Konsole, Gwenview, KAlgebra, Kanagram,KHangman, Kig, Parley, KApptemplate and Okteta. Some libraries are also ready for KDE Frameworks 5 use: analitza and libkeduvocdocument.
The Kontact Suite is now in Long Term Support in the 4.14 version while developers are using their new energy to port it to KDE Frameworks 5
