6:48p	U-Boot v2020.10 released U-Boot (the Universal Boot Loader) v2020.10 is out. "With this release we have a number of "please migrate to DM" warnings that are now 1 year past their warning date, and well past 1 year of those warnings being printed. It's getting up there on my TODO list to see if removing features or boards in these cases is easier." (Comment on this)
7:33p	[$] Getting KDE onto commercial hardware At Akademy 2020, the annual KDE conference that was held virtually this year, KDE developer Nate Graham delivered a talk entitled "Visions of the Future" (YouTube video) about the possible future of KDE on commercial products. Subtitled "Plasma sold on retail hardware — lots of it", the session concentrated on ways to make KDE applications (and the Plasma desktop) the default environment on hardware sold to the general public. The proposal includes creating an official KDE distribution with a hardware certification program and directly paying developers. (Comment on this)
8:48p	Python 3.9 released Version 3.9 of the Python programming language has been released. The changelog, "What's New in Python 3.9" document, and our recent article have lots more information on the release. "Maintenance releases for the 3.9 series will follow at regular bi-monthly intervals starting in late November of 2020. OK, boring! Where is Python 4? Not so fast! The next release after 3.9 will be 3.10. It will be an incremental improvement over 3.9, just as 3.9 was over 3.8, and so on." (Comment on this)
