KDE Plasma 5.7 Offers Many Wayland Improvements, but GTK Apps Will Still Use X11
We reported last week on the release of the Beta build of the upcoming KDE Plasma 5.7 desktop environment for GNU/Linux operating systems, and we're now looking forward to the final release, due on July 5, 2016.
In the meantime, KDE developer Martin Gräßlin talks in his latest blog post about the improvements that have been added so far in order to bring better support to the next-generation Wayland display server on the forthcoming KDE Plasma 5 desktop environment.

Randa Meetings 2016 Part I: Okteta

Getting Closer
Last week in Randa we did not only work on a new Windows version of Marble, but made a lot of progress on vector tile rendering as well. Here is a quick visual impression of the first lower level vector tiles that are now part of the Vector OSM map theme. Much of the work was done by Akshat, one of our GSoC students.

Stars and DSOs make their appearance in KStars Lite
Currently you can see all named and static unnamed stars (also there will be support for Tycho-2 catalog available as an add-on). Having a node for each of the star results in increased memory consumption but I have an idea which I will implement during optimization phase (maintain all nodes in LRU cache and delete nodes that don't get a lot of user attention).

Distributed KRunner improvements
It is strange to talk about improvements when the product does not yet exist, but there are a few important ideas that deviate from original KRunner that I’ve been working on.

Between keyframes
My project this summer started with implementing keyframing for masks and layer opacity. Currently I am doing the same for transformation masks, but in between I worked on the problem of interpolation.

Crossing the Threshold to the Special World
In other news, last Monday was my final bachelor thesis presentation which was the last thing I had to do for school this year. I managed to graduate with a 9/10 for the whole thesis process and my supervisors were allegedly very happy with me. Now I cross over the threshold of the academic life to the working life of which the first three months will be reserved for Krita.

Meeting with the Mentor
We launched up Krita expecting a complete disaster, but what it blessed us with was a small green square sitting tranquilly on top of the canvas. What does it mean?

The end of Randa Meetings 2016
First, I want to thank Tomaz Canabrava, that brings me to KDE Community and gives me the opportunity to make this changes in my life, to get me rid out my comfort zone and show me the world.
