After that we upload Plasma 5.19 to unstable. That will go surely into BUllseye, but we start immediately on getting 5.20 on, too. So I hope that Bullseye will have 5.20

That's excellent news! Glad to see that they are working with you now.

It's here!! Notice any difference at all?

I haven't had much time to spend in it.
I don't have all of it installed and I don't know if everything is there yet.
I will be testing over the next few days.
If I find something to share I will post it.
I wasn't told it was ready. I just went for it.

Woooww ... and does it work???? On my installation it didn't work at all, so I haven't announced it :-D Couldn't log in, or better, the plasamshell did hang.

You obviously are better with my packages than myself ;-)

Well I removed some packages I got errors with. Can't tell you what those were now.
Then installed kde-standard and added some other packages like kscreen and I'm up and running.
Let me know if you want me to give you some package list data.
I am not good with grep but if you tell me the command I can run it.

OK, thanks. After posting I realized that the most likely reason LXQt hadn't been built for Bullseye is probably because the version of Qt hadn't been decided. It will likely land before release. If not, after MX "Bullseye" has been released I can make a package request on the MX forum which will likely result in an even newer version, maybe even version 1.0 since that is what the devs are working towards.

Actually found the problem was a Plasmoid that doesn't work with Qt 5.15, so I saw the same crashes with Qt 5.15 based Plasma 5.19. After removing and re-updating everything works now ;-)

Now I need to write the blog post!

Big changes today
