Krita 5.3 Beta 3 - Bug Fixes, Dark Theme, and Easy Installation for Artists

Software 44181 Published 2026-03-06 18:08 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Krita 5.3 beta 3 is out, fixing eight of the 63 reported bugs and bringing the total number of resolved issues to 22, while the manual gets an updated dark theme that keeps the UI pleasant during long sessions. The release notes highlight a few fixes that stop sudden crashes when painting in Wayland or on fresh Windows installs, ensuring brush settings stay intact after accidental closes. Krita 6.0 beta 3 remains experimental with more Linux‑Wayland problems, so it is best avoided for serious work; 5.3 stays the recommended stable version. Download links are available for AppImage (Linux), installer or portable zip (Windows), and a signed dmg (macOS); keep testing and report any new glitches to help tighten the code.

VSCodium 1.110: Fine‑Tuning Fonts for Every Workbench Area

Software 44181 Published 2026-03-06 18:01 by Philipp Esselbach 0

VSCodium 1.110.01571 introduces per‑area font settings—font family and size for the sidebar, status bar, editor tabs, bottom panel, and activity bar—that let users fine‑tune each visible element without touching the global workbench font. A user who upgraded to a dark theme on a 4K monitor saw blurred sidebar text; bumping workbench.sideBar.experimental.fontSize to 15 px restored clarity while leaving editor text at its default size. The update also patches a lingering Visual Studio Code rendering bug that caused glitches after theme switches, ensuring smoother font display across Linux desktops. These lightweight tweaks can save time for power users juggling multiple monitors or custom themes and add no noticeable bloat to the editor.

GNOME 50 Release Candidate: Fresh Module Updates, Bug Fixes and Accessibility Improvements

GNOME 3705 Published 2026-03-06 09:46 by Philipp Esselbach 0

GNOME 50.rc has just landed, pushing core modules, such as adwaita‑fonts, at‑spi2‑core, blueprint‑compiler, d‑spy, epiphany, gdm and more, to their latest releases while tightening remote‑desktop plumbing so PAM and system logs see the correct hostname. Epiphany’s fixes to background execution and tag sorting now keep bookmarks organized, and Gnome‑shell’s cursor glitch on entry icons is gone, making typing feel less like a bad joke. Accessibility gets a boost with at‑spi2‑core’s new device feature hooks, Orca’s Say All mode for focused speech, and gnome‑control‑center’s polkit gating of keyboard settings, all of which improve screen‑reader reliability for visually impaired users. The installer image can be booted in an EFI‑enabled VM such as GNOME Boxes; while a few packages remain on older versions due to stability, the updated translations—especially for under‑represented languages—will surface with the next update cycle, giving developers and power users a near‑final GNOME experience to test before the final 50 release.

KDE Gear 25.12.3 Fixes Crashes, Updates Translations

KDE 1704 Published 2026-03-06 09:34 by Philipp Esselbach 0

KDE Gear 25.12.3 bundles over 180 programs, fixing UI glitches such as the broken row‑click in KDE Connect (bug #514923) and preventing Umbrello’s crash when a scene is deleted (bug #516457). It also removes Neochat’s timeline scroll issue on reactions (bug #515306), improves Calligra’s RTF handling, and updates translations for all components. The release smooths day‑to‑day KDE usage—from better audio scrubbing in Kdenlive to consistent volume control in kalarm—by patching libraries like poppler 26.02.0. A single update now grants a more stable, fully translated KDE experience, making it the quick fix everyday users should install today.

Rust 1.94: Faster Slice Iteration with array_windows() and Cleaner Cargo Configuration

Software 44181 Published 2026-03-06 09:30 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Rust 1.94 brings two practical improvements: array_windows for safe, faster slice iteration, and Cargo’s include key that lets teams centralise shared configuration files across projects. Adopting it is as simple as swapping .windows(4) for .array_windows() where you currently destructure windowed slices, or adding an optional include entry to your ~/.cargo/config.toml if you want a tidy way to share dev‑only settings. The new TOML 1.1 parser lets manifests use modern syntax—multiline inline tables, trailing commas, and \xHH escapes—while Cargo automatically rewrites older manifests on publish so that crates keep their MSRV low for downstream users. With array_windows now stable in const contexts and a host of other helpers (LazyCell, LazyLock, SIMD intrinsics, Euler’s constant) stabilized, the compiler feels a bit more powerful without breaking existing code.

Node.js 22.22.1 LTS and 20.20.1 LTS Released: Key Updates and What You Need to Know

Software 44181 Published 2026-03-05 17:21 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Node.js has released two long-term support versions: 22.22.1 LTS and 20.20.1 LTS, both of which bring important fixes and performance tweaks to the JavaScript runtime environment.

Another significant update is that Buffer.of no longer allocates memory on the stack, but instead uses the heap, which can help prevent accidental overflows and improve memory usage patterns. Additionally, other tweaks include a new stable flag for debugging memory leaks and improved handling of mixed-type Sets and Maps in assertions.

Nginx CGI Tutorial: How to Install and Configure Version 0.15

Software 44181 Published 2026-03-05 13:13 by Philipp Esselbach 0

A new version of the Nginx CGI module, version 0.15, can be easily installed on recent Debian or Ubuntu releases by adding the GetPageSpeed repository keyring and then installing the nginx and nginx-module-cgi packages. To use the module, you need to add a load statement to your configuration file if Nginx was compiled manually or stores modules in a custom location, and enable CGI for specific URI prefixes with the cgi on directive. A minimal shell script that prints a greeting can be created by placing a bash file in the document root's cgi-bin directory and ensuring it has execute permission. After configuring the module, you can test the setup by reloading Nginx and accessing the script through its URL, checking for any errors in the log files if necessary.
