Announcement
Hello everyone!
I am proud to announce that LightDM 1.33.0 has been released! You can view the release information and grab a copy of the source here from GitHub.
This release contains fixes that have been waiting since 1.32.0 for a release… so here they are! Included are also some code optimizations and Qt 6 support. Qt 5 continues to be available.
Packaging
Packagers just need to add the base Qt 6 development library in order to enable Qt 6 support.
Ubuntu
LightDM used to be packaged and uploaded into Ubuntu. Currently, it is sourced from Debian, and Ubuntu has its own version with patches on top of it. I have not made an entry to the debian/changelog yet as I am still deciding what to do with this. For now, to install it, you can build from source (or I’ll open a PPA).
Get Involved
The GitHub is open to issues and pull requests. I just ask that if you are reporting or fixing a bug to please provide a way to reproduce the problem.
Also, please join us in the new Matrix room! You will find me and @Conan_Kudo there.
Enjoy!
P.S.: Tell your friends that LightDM is alive.
