Yes, you’re reading it right, your Chakra GNU/Linux installation has just been updated, and you’ll now get the recently released KDE Plasma 5.7.5 desktop environment, which is the last maintenance version in the Plasma 5.7 series before KDE Plasma 5.8 LTS hits the streets, as well as KDE Applications 16.08.1 software suite and KDE Frameworks 5.26.0. But wait, that’s not all that landed in your Chakra GNU/Linux operating system if you update it today, as you’ll also get some of the recent open source software releases, including Git 2.10.0, MariaDB 10.1.17 (includes a patch for the 0-day “CVE-2016-6662” MySQL vulnerability), CUPS 2.1.4, PHP 5.6.25, Poppler 0.47.0, pdf2svg 0.2.3, and aMule 10958.
