Netrunner Rolling 2018.08 is here as the second installment for 2018, incorporating the KDE Plasma 5.13.3 desktop environment, along with the KDE Applications 18.04 and KDE Frameworks 5.48 software suites compiled against the Qt 5.11.1 application framework, as well as the Firefox Quantum 61.0 web browser, Mozilla Thunderbird 52.5 email and news client, and Krita 4.1.1 digital painting app. In addition to the software updates mentioned above, the Netrunner Rolling 2018.08 release introduces support for running seamless GTK+ apps that now use KWin borders for better integration with the KDE Plasma desktop environment, as well as a new feature called Plasma Tweaks, which lets users easily access and configure various KCM modules of the KDE Plasma desktop environment.
