A news section, finally
Phosphor now has a place for release notes, project updates, and the occasional design write-up. Subscribe via RSS to follow along.
Until today, every Phosphor update lived on a GitHub release page — fine for changelogs, less fine for the kind of “here’s why we did it this way” post that doesn’t fit a tag annotation. From now on, that material lives here.
What goes here
- Releases. Each tagged build of PlasmaZones (and notable library cuts) gets a post summarising what changed, with a link out to the full GitHub release for the binary diff.
- Announcements. New libraries joining the suite, packaging news (AUR / Flatpak / COPR landings), Plasma version compatibility shifts.
- Design notes. The longer-form pieces — why the layout-api ended up the shape it did, what we learned from a tricky Wayland edge case, occasional retrospectives.
Subscribing
- The RSS feed carries every post the moment it ships; most feed readers (NetNewsWire, Feedbro, Thunderbird, FreshRSS, Miniflux, Tiny Tiny RSS) auto-discover it from the news index.
- The GitHub release feed still exists for binaries; consider this the place for context around the binaries, not a replacement for them.
- For the “watch the project breathe” view, the phosphor-works org on GitHub remains the canonical source.
That’s it. More substantive posts to follow.
