KDE Gear 21.04 Gets First Point Release with Konsole Improvements, More

KDE Gear 21.04 was released three weeks ago with various new features and improvements for many of your favorite KDE apps.

In case you missed it, the KDE Project renamed its KDE Applications software suite to KDE Gear earlier this year, but it’s only a name change, nothing else that would affect you. Now, KDE Gear 21.04.1 is here as the first point release to the open-source office suite, bringing various changes to the Konsole terminal emulator, such as improved visibility of selected text, a fix for a crash that may occur when you enter a very long string (e.g. 6000 characters) and then immediately maximize the window, as well as a fix for a crash that could occur when opening the app?s Settings window.
