Plasma 5 Weekly ISO Revisited

I am proud to announce that Plasma 5 weekly ISOs have returned today.

Grab today’s ISO while it is hot. And don’t forget to report the bugs you might notice.

Plasma 5 weekly ISOs bring you the latest and greatest Plasma right from the tip of development.

As some of you might have noticed the previous Plasma 5 weekly ISOs stopped updating a while ago. This was because we at Blue Systems were migrating to new system for distribution level integration. More on this to follow soon. Until then you’ll have to believe me that it is 300% more awesome 🙂

Porting to KDE Frameworks 5

Porting to KDE Frameworks 5 is so easy even I can do it.

Almost all Kubuntu software is ported already. Some of the applications even managed to go qt-only because of all the awesome bits that moved from kdelibs into Qt5. It is all really very awesome I have to say.

Weekly Plasma 5 Live ISO

With KDE Frameworks 5 and Plasma 5 not too far away our awesome Blue Systems build crew now increased the cadence at which we publish new Neon 5 Live ISO images for you to test. I am very happy to announce that from now on there will be a new ISO waiting for you every Friday at:

http://files.kde.org/snapshots/neon5-latest.iso

Neon 5 provides daily built packages of the latest and greatest KDE software based on KDE Frameworks 5 based on Kubuntu, so what you get every Friday is most certainly no older than 24 hours. This makes the ISOs a perfect way to test and report bugs in the upcoming release, as well as track the overall progress of things.
If you’d like continuous (albeit, less trouble-free) updates for an existing Kubuntu 14.04 or Neon 5 installation you can of course use the PPAs directly. Beware! There be dragons 😉
