Some devs have recently started using AI to support development, but this is done in a conscious way. We don't simply run an LLM and commit whatever code comes out of it. Code is strictly reviewed and if it seems sloppy, it is not accepted. This comments (https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/TDE/tde/issues/288#issuecomment-88414) helps to clarify the approach.
Devs retains owneship/accountability for whatever code is committed. No sloppiness accepted. But AI is a big boost to productivity and can't be ignore long term.

New functionality for #TDE Kicker's taskbar.
If you work with grouped windows, you can now raise or lower all the windows in a group by using the new 'Raise All/Lower All' commands available in the popup menu triggered by the right mouse click.
Updated PSB/PTB packages are already available on the #Trinity mirrors.

A small improvement for #TDE's Konqueror. The desktop is an important place for many users, so we have added a "Go to Desktop" entry to the "Go" menu for a quick way to navigate to it.

Info for #Trinity developers and contributors.
We have recently increased the accepted C++ standard for #TDE code to c++17. From now on, feel free to use any of the functionalities provided by it.
It also means that you need a C++ compiler that supports such standard. For all the distributions on which we are currently building TDE, that should not be a problem.
