Highlights

  • Split view is added to pcmanfm-qt. pcmanfm-qt handles desktop and also mounts more efficiently by benefiting from the improvements in libfm-qt.

  • Render image EXIF data and new upload target (ImgBB) for lximage-qt
  • Custom terminal margins and history-based tab switching are added to qterminal.
  • All packages received massive translation updates.
