KDE Applications 16.12 Now In Beta

Written by Michael Larabel in KDE on 18 November 2016 at 04:41 PM EST. 4 Comments

KDE Applications 16.12 is now in beta while this collection of KDE software is under a dependency and feature freeze ahead of next month's official release.

New to this application collection for the 16.12 milestone is that the KWave sound editor has been added after being in development for nearly two decades.

KDE Applications 16.12 also ships a number of KDE Frameworks 5 packages that were formerly kdelibs4-based, including Kalzium, KDialog, KGPG, KTouch, Okular, SVGPart, and others. No longer being shipped in KDE Applications 16.12 is KDEPIM, KUser, KDE-BaseApps, and KDEWEBDEV.

More details on KDE Applications 16.12 via this KDE.org page.

Today's beta release announcement can be read at KDE.org.

KDE Applications 16.12 is expected to be officially released on 15 December.
