Plasma 6.3 is here... and it's Pixel Perfect!

One year on from Plasma 6.0, and this is what you can expect in your next update: massive steps in the support and configuration of drawing tablets, pixel perfect window placing and zoom, extended hardware monitoring, even more customization possibilities, and so much more.

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.
