Plasma updated to 5.12.7 in Kubuntu

[Valdo]

I do not see an announcement for this anywhere, but you can get the latest LTS release of Plasma 5.12.7, via the Kubuntu Updates PPA

Is there an ETA for Plasma 5.12.8 to reach the official archives? Released on March 5th 2019 (https://kde.org/announcements/plasma-5.12.8.php).

As I understand, using the Kubuntu Updates PPA could be an option to get this update faster, but I'd prefer not risking anything in regards to the future official upgrade to Kubuntu 20.04 (July 2020) - if my fear ever makes sense...

5.12.8 is in the archive proposed pocket, and requires testing from there.

FWIW, I've been using it for a couple of months (on neon unstable) and I have no bugs to report :·)

5.12.8 is now landing in main archive updates.
