When I gave it a (quick) look earlier today, nothing grave catched my eyes 
when it comes to Qt5/kF5 interfacing code (just a few favourite nitpicks of 
mine, which are already reviewed/pushed :) ).
No idea about the custom RL painter myself or proper ways.

Two things I noticed though which you ideally give some look:

kdiff3 -h & -v show both a window as well as print output on the commandline.
The windows are a bit unexpected and unusual given one already is on the 
commandline, perhaps that feature to also show a window could be removed?

You might also want to port the debug output from fprintf(stderr, ...) & Co. 
to qCDebug() & Co.

Cheers

KDiff3 1.8 release.

[Michael Reeves]

   I would like to move forward with a 1.8 release targeting end of Apirl.
Could someone please check over the kf5/qt5 changes to make sure there are
no major problems? Also there is custom painter that tries to handle left
to right text manually what is the proper way to support this? I will be
doing at least the next few releases independent of Applications do to the
amount time past since the last release for kdiff3. The 1.8 branch creation
and freeze is set for 3-22 if no major issues are found.

liquidshell in kdereview

Hi,

since some time has already passed and there was no conclusion, I'll try once 
again
to announce liquidshell.

I have made adjustments to the README which now says:

liquidshell is a basic Desktop Shell implemented using QtWidgets.

Main Features:
- Wallpaper per virtual desktop
- No animations, low memory and CPU footprint
- Instant startup
- No use of activities
- QtWidgets based, therefore follows widget style from systemsettings
- Icons are used from your globally defined icon theme from systemsettings
- Colors are used from your globally defined color theme from systemsettings
- Can additionally be styled with css by passing the commandline option 
-stylesheet filename.css
  (see included example stylesheet.css)
- uses existing KDE Frameworks dialogs for most configurations, e.g. StartMenu, 
Virtual Desktops, Bluetooth, Network
- Just one bottom DesktopPanel, containing:
  StartMenu (allowing drag of entries into konqueror/dolphin to configure 
QuickLaunch or AppMenu entries)
  QuickLaunch (showing icons for .desktop files from a configurable folder)
  AppMenu (showing .desktop files in a menu from a configurable folder, 
defaults to users desktop folder)
  Pager (for switching virtual desktops)
  WindowList (Popup showing all open windows on all desktops)
  TaskBar (showing windows on the current desktop, allowing drag of an entry 
onto the Pager to move to a different desktop)
  LockLogout
  SysLoad widget including CPU, Memory, Swap and Network bars, live updated 
tooltip
  SysTray with integrated Network-, Notifications-, Device Notifier-, 
Bluetooth-, Battery- display.
  It also features PackageKit software updates integration.
  The DeviceList also shows devices connected and paired with KDEConnect.
  Display of StatusNotifier items from other applications (no legacy 
embedded icons yet).
  Notifications kept in a history list for some minutes, including 
timestamp and text selectable per mouse
  (very handy for copy/paste of TAC numbers from online banking received 
via SMS and transferred to KDE
   via kdeconnect)
  Clock widget (with calendar popup, tooltip for selected cities)

I think the final place should be extragear.

openSuse's OBS has already packages for some distributions
