Being in development for the past several months, KDE Applications 18.08 is now stable and will hit the software repositories of various popular GNU/Linux distributions during the next few days. This is a major release and brings numerous new features and improvements across multiple apps, including Dolphin, Konsole, Gwenview, KMail, Akonadi, Cantor, Spectacle, and others. The KDE Applications 18.08 series will be supported for about three or four months, until the release of the KDE Applications 18.12 software suite later this year. It will receive three maintenance updates, starting with KDE Applications 18.08.1 on September 6, and continuing with KDE Applications 18.08.2 on October 11, and KDE Applications 18.08.3 on November 8, 2018.
