New stuff includes: colored emojis 😎 , grammar correction and markdown built into Kmail; integrating KCalCore (calendar engine) and KContacts (addressbook engine) into KDE Frameworks 5; and cleaning up code and squashing bugs in general.

Mastodon•ART 🎨 Curator :masto:
We're currently 56% of the way to fully covering :mastoart:•ART's hosting costs. This includes monthly fees to our fantastic host (http://masto.host), who maintains our server and keeps our instance updated, as well as the cost of the mastodon.art domain. If we reach this goal, I'll also be able to kick a few bucks to our amazing moderation team for all their hard work.
If you can help us reach our goal our entire community will thank you! Otherwise, just keep being your awesome selves!
