Well, yesterday I added the B612 fonts to HaikuDepot. These are designed for use in Airbus airplanes cockpit displays, to be very easy to read for the pilots. As a result they may also make good GUI fonts for other uses as well.

Mostly been doing some library updates (and related packages in the case of tiff4), but coming up when buildmasters are done, update on Gerbera (that has been a while!)

SBCL recipe (x86-64 only) is now updated to latest release 2.5.0.

I’m happy to announce a new version of Kottan, my viewer/editor for flattened BMessages (often used by Haiku apps to store settings etc.) that is available via HaikuDepot/pkgman as of now.
Version 0.14.4 is mainly a bugfix release, most prominently fixing a data corruption bug (discovered by @humdinger) when saving an edited BMessage to file. Other notable changes are the addition of an application icon (created by @zumi) and a few small fixes that hopefully improve the usability a bit.

The full release notes can be viewed here: Release Bugfix release with a few enhancements · andimachovec/Kottan · GitHub

A big thank you goes out to @humdinger for reporting bugs and many suggestions for usability improvements, to @zumi for the icon, and to all language translators (can’t believe into how many language my app has already been translated)

Quite a lot of libraries/applications updated on the KDE front, Krita 5.2.9 being the last one in the line.

Why not upload k3b to rhe repos… Because burnitnow , i think is not complete, full feature yet.

Begasus · February 15, 2025, 11:24am

@3dEyes is looking into that, I guess there is more work to it related to the MediaKit?

zantak · February 15, 2025, 11:45am

KDE news feed reader Alligator 24.12.2 added to the depot, this one doesn’t use QtWebengine so could be ported/build for KF6.

A huge thanks to @mmu_man for bringing us fastfetch, with the help of upstream maintainer Carter-Li a lot has been added since, this morning 2.37.0 was released.

Adding to that, the KDE KF6 frameworks have been updated to 6.11.0 today, ~~one is failing atm due to a broken php package on 32bit, previous version is still available though.~~ Fixed.
