KStars, KDE's full-featured app for #astronomy aficionados, releases version 3.7.5.

Although mainly a bugfix version, KStars v3.7.5 boasts a couple of interesting new features, like the dome slit visualization on sky map, video sequence capture, and enhanced scheduler loading and settings management.

If you are curious about the universe you live in or are into astrophotography, get KStars now.

    Oh, fine. Then maybe you can fix the Geography. While Wolfsburg in Ukraine may be a beautiful place to be, if i search for the other wolfsburg - the one in Germany -, i absolutly prefer to find the Wolfsburg in Deutschland, not the one in Ukraine.

    KDE iternary: when searching for "Wolfsburg Hbf" in "Deutschland" the software shows "Wolfsburg Hbf" in "Ukraine" first and you need to scroll down to actually find "Wolfsburg Hbf" in "Deutschland".

  • @kde@floss.social @kde@lemmy.kde.social I used to be a heavy KDE user back in the 3.x days and got lost in the 4.x refactoring, moving on to tiling window managers and minimalist DEs. Fast-forward to recent times, and I've been using XFCE and Gnome a lot.

    But this announcement really makes me curious to give it another whirl. #KDE has a track record of top notch aesthetics that has always intrigued me. Will test-drive on my Arch box on the weekend <3
