**August flew by, but not without dropping off a fresh helping of Linux app updates. In this post, I round up and run through releases which hit my radar, but didn’t quite blip hard enough to warrant a full article.** Plenty of app releases **did** get dedicated posts: Kdenlive 25.08 delivered 10-bit H.265 support; we saw VirtualBox 7.2 update its UI; HandBrake 1.10 provide new Discord-friendly presets; Flameshot returned; while Mastodon client Tuba 0.10 added seemingly _everything_. On the ol’ AI front, IntelliJ IDEA 2025.2 brought support for offline AI code completion, while productivity suite with contentious origins ONLYOFFICE 9.0.4 includes an AI ‘agent’ able to write documents for you. There are also monthly updates to Mozilla Firefox 142, which gains new tab page topics, Thunderbird 142, which now lets you add signatures to PDFs, and major performance boosts in LibreOffice 25.8 (and its bug-fix follow up). Beyond those, a slew of smaller updates slipped out this month — updates I showcase in my _Linux App Release Roundup_ , published at the end of each month. Here’s what arrived in August. ### Constrict I spotlighted new GTK4/libadwaita video compression tool Constrict in July, an app which could prove especially helpful to those needing to squeeze down a video to fit a specific file size (sites like Discord have video size limits). Since my first article, _Constrict_ has been updated. It’s picked up some major performance improvements (see below), gained a brand new new app icon, and resolved an assortment of bugs, including one quirk in which compression progress bar could sometimes go backwards… The big one: Constrict now supports hardware acceleration to deliver “significantly faster compression speeds” — but only on GPUs which support VA-API encoding for the selected video codec. Software encoding is always used if ‘Extra Quality’ mode is enabled. Subtitle streams/languages are now retained in compressed videos so long as the subtitles from video sources use compatible, text-only codecs to start with; and it’s now possible to use GIFs as video sources. You can get **_Constrict_ on Flathub**, or grab the source code from GitHub. ### Zen Browser 1.15b Deep Dive Zen Browser: Everything Firefox Should Be? I did a big feature on Zen Browser last month, coming away mighty impressed by the novel direction the Firefox fork is pursuing. Hot on the heels of that recap came an update rebasing on top of Firefox 142.0, and adding **new features!** Zen Browser 1.15b now supports folders in the tab sidebar. Right-click in the tab area, click add a folder, give it a name, a custom icon, and then drag and drop tabs and even other folders on it to stash. You can rename and edit folders at any time, and drag links/tabs out of them. They’re a great way to organise tab into thematic groups (however loose the theme), for medium-term use without cluttering up the tab bar. Unlike pinned tabs, which persist across all spaces, folders are space-specific. “Folders have been one of the most requested features since Zen’s launch, and they’re finally here”, the team say of the addition. They’ve also added monochromatic icons for folders, as well as spaces, for visual cues, which is neat. Folders are optional, so if you (like me) rarely have more than a few tabs open, and rely on bookmarks for those “one day I might need to possibly refer to this, maybe” keeps, just don’t use ’em. Zen Browser is free, open-source software available for Windows, macOS and Linux. Download the latest release from the project GitHub. ### Gradia 1.10.0 Screenshot prettification and markup tool tick Gradia remains one of my favourite apps of the year. It’s superbly designed and super useful. August saw a couple of big updates roll out to Gradia, each adding various new features, including: * **Keyboard shortcuts for annotation options** * **Improved Censor tool** * **Text tool now supports multi-line annotations** * **Hold** `shift` **with tools (e.g., arrow) for constrained drawing** * **Redesigned gradient editor with support for 5 stops** * **Support for radial and conic gradients** * **Quick color selection for annotation tools** * **Improved drag-and-drop support for loading from URLs** * **Zoom in/out functionality** * **Support for multiple instances** If you’ve not checked in with Gradia for a while, the changelog above ought to be reason to do so — and as it’s available on the Snap Store it is but a `sudo snap install gradia` away! ### QEMU 10.1 The open-source virtualisation and emulation software saw another batch of buffs land this month, landing in the first update since its sizeable 10.0 release in April. Support for Intel Trust Domain Extensions (TDX) in KVM is the headline change, making it possible to run “confidential guests” using Linux 6.16 kernel or newer (6.17 is due shortly, and will ship in Ubuntu 25.10), and enables starting TDX or SEV-SNP virtual machines from IGVM files. ARM platform support sees gains. The ARM ‘virt’ board now supports KVM nested virtualization and ACPI PCI hotplug functionality. CPU architectural features include FEAT_SME2, FEAT_SME2p1, and several SVE extensions, plus new board models. Elsewhere, Qemu 10.1 adds live migration support with initial `multifd` and post-copy compatibility, “optimisations for pre-copy migration, and RDMA migration support for ipv6” — which will mean something to someone, I’m sure. Other changes in Qemu 10.1: * **QEMU guest agent can query load of virtual machines running Windows** * **ARM ‘virt’ board supports nested virtualisation under KVM & CXL** * **RISC-V ISA/extension support for atomic instruction fetch (Ziccif)** * **Support for RISC-V Kunminghu CPU and platform** * **Improved scale handling on GTK** * **Deprecated s390x machine types older than v4.1** * **Fixed Windows NT MIPS BSOD on magnum** * **Block operations optimised for sparse files** * **TCG plugins gain register write functions** * **VNC encoding fixes for different endianness** * **Built-in AES implementation removed outside TCG** Download the latest QEMU release from the project website. There you can find more information on this update, along with details on how to install it, configure it, and work with it to get the near-native performance running other OSes on your current one. ### Euphonica 0.96.3-beta When I spotlighted the slick MPD frontend Euphonica in July it attracted an agog-jawed reaction from readers (the good kind – so rare). Its fancy visual and modern layout has no-doubt helped renewed interest in MPD. In August, Euphonica got a major update — though it remains in beta — that “should enable Euphonica to work with larger libraries”, with testing done on a 30,000 song, 2,000 album, and 1,000 artist ‘synthetic’ library. The app switched its internal SQLite DB to use WAL journaling, and moved more SQLite operations off the main thread to help improve its resource efficiency and, in turn, its responsiveness. Euphonica also adds lyric import, export and clear features, albeit only for LRC and without per-word timings or any tags except `offset`. The PipeWire visualiser backend is now able select which device to “capture” audio from. Alas, there’s still no easy way to try Eurphonica on Ubuntu (unless you count building it from source easy, which, tbh, it kind of is). AUR and Nix packages are available, for those on relevant distributions or using Distrobox on Ubuntu. ### PeaZip 10.6.1 I don’t know how many of you use PeaZip, but it’s one of those apps whose RSS feed has been in my reader for decades, so I’m always away it’s still out there, doing its thing. PeaZip 10.6 now includes _Nemo_ actions, bringing context menu integration to Linux Mint and other Linux distributions that use the Cinnamon Desktop. Right-clicking on Zips or folders to ‘action’ them is easier than firing up an app first, so this is welcome. The archive tool ships with an alternative 7z fork on Linux and macOS. This supports Brotli, Lizard, LZ4/5 and Zstd compression algorithms in .7z archive files. To enable it head to Options > Settings > Advanced and set “7z / p7zip alias” to “7zalt”. Beyond that, the built-in file browser sees various changes, including better performance browsing large folders or archives. Opening a ZIP with 25,000 items in is reportedly 6x faster on Windows, 30x faster on macOS, and 2x faster on Qt6. GTK sees “negligible” impact. A search box has been added to _Settings_ to make finding options easier, multipart archive sizes are now correctly reported in the _Progress_ screen, archive pre-parsing is improved, and free disk space is visible in the status bar hint box. Alternative icons for system integration on Linux, including SVG icon files for crisp rendering of interface elements on modern Hi-DPI displays, are also included. The changelog lists more detail on these and other improvements contained in this release. As free, open source software, you can download pre-built binaries of the app for all major operating systems from the PeaZip website or its GitHub page. ### Others Besides all of the above, a couple of others I should mention. **Typhoon** weather app saw some new features blow in. The background colour can now be customised, if the preset hues or chameleonic matching doesn’t do it for you. A new ‘Guess Location’ button was added for IP-based location setting. **Pinta** issued a bug fix release to resolve a pesky packaging flaw in its macOS builds for Apple silicon; an issue where hiding a panel did not cause other panels to expand into the available space; and improving its Dithering effect. #### That’s All, Folks That wraps up this month’s recap of smaller but noteworthy releases. While these updates might not have gotten their own headlines, they’re still the sort of steady improvements that make daily Linux desktop use all the better. _**Got a tip about an app update I should cover?

Unter #GNOME brauchen #Screenshots oft Nachbearbeitung. Besonders, wenn man einen einheitlichen Look haben möchte. #Gradia übernimmt das: Das Bild per Copy &Paste laden, mit Farbverlauf hinterlegen und den Abstand zum Rand einstellen. Praktisch für Blogs oder Social Media. #Linux #FOSS #OpenSource
