Over 120 individual programs plus dozens of programmer libraries and
feature plugins are released simultaneously as part of KDE Gear.
Today they all get new bugfix source releases with updated translations,
including:
* kcron: Improve temporary file handling
* kio-extras: SFTP can use random access
* kontact: Fix Manager Crash when clicking New
Distro and app store packagers should update their application packages.
Changelog:
https://kde.org/announcements/changelogs/gear/21.12.3/
Release Notes:

Release notes are at
https://github.com/CDrummond/cantata/releases/tag/v2.5.0
and it's a long list of fixes. The author has indicated that
Cantata is now archived and will not be developed any more.
If some fork comes out with new features we can switch the
port to that.
Contrary to Windows, we use colons to separate directories in the
PATH environment variable; however, this code is still useless as
it does not affect ctypes.util.find_library() search logic.
Since libraries are opened during tun-time, LIB_DEPENDS should be
actually specified as RUN_DEPENDS here (this would also hopefully
prevent needless port revision bumps in the future).
Chiptune tracker compatible with DefleMask modules (.dmf).
* It supports the following systems:
o Sega Genesis

PyOgg provides bindings for Xiph.org's OGG Vorbis, OGG Opus, and FLAC
audio file formats.
All the functions, structures, and datatypes are the same as in the C++
implementation, except for some that could not be translated.

Changes since 53:
DIN Is Noise 53.1:
! fixed : runaway launch of drones when Drone Params > Defaults > Generations
is > 1 (higher the value worse the outcome!) and Drones Per Minute = 0
due to wrong initialisation of this drone parameter after DIN restart /
reload
Update ASAP to DIN53.1
Add DOCS option and install documentation in ${DOCSDIR}.
New plugins:
- submit_isrc (submit ISRCs found in audio files metadata)
Removed plugins:
- videotools (provided formats are non-functional and the is_video()
and is_audio() functions are part of Picard)

Bump PORTREVISION on consumers. Since this is a development version, rebuild
is required even for minor releases due to API/ABI changes.
