Version 2.9.5 of Yakuake, a drop-down terminal (based on Konsole) similar to the console in the Quake games, has been released. Changes include:
- Added a new framework, referred to as the visual event overlay, to display notifications (and potentially other information) on top of the terminals. It's used for a number of new features found in this release, as described in their separate entries.
- Added an option to visually indicate the newly-focussed terminal when moving focus in a session with multiple terminals (i.e. via splits), or the currently focussed terminal when switching to a session with multiple terminals.
- Added a feature to disable keyboard input for all or individual terminals in a session
- Added a feature to lock a session to prevent it from being closed accidentally
- Added various new D-Bus interfaces
- Bug fixes, including 2 crashes
- Fixed linking with the new gold linker in binutils
