The Trinity Desktop Environment team has released R14.1.7 for the KDE 3.5-based stack, introducing Konsole bracketed paste support, KPDF AES-256 decryption, and compatibility updates for OpenSSL 4, Python 3.15, and Poppler 26.06.
Improvements to applications and tools
The Konsole terminal has gained support for a special paste function that prevents multi-line text from automatically executing before pressing Enter. New mouse capabilities, colored underlines, and bulk selection options have also been added.
The taskbar and menu now allow scrolling with the mouse wheel, while bulk management actions for grouped windows have been added. The application menu has gained keyboard navigation in search results and the ability to change the text color on the button.
The window manager has improved margins, multi-monitor support, and monitor control. PDF reading has gained AES-256 encryption support, while the image viewer has changed technology for better resizing and less distortion.
