KDE developer Nate Graham is out with his weekly blog post summarizing all of the interesting KDE Plasma developments for the past week. Notable this week was the debut of Plasma 6.4 stable and from early user feedback appears to be in good shape.
Nate Graham wrote of initial user feedback and bug reports on Plasma 6.4:
“So far it’s been getting a really positive reception. The bug reports bear this out; most of the real actual bugs reported against 6.4.0 are either pre-existing issues or minor regressions, many of which we’ve already fixed in time for 6.4.1 coming next Tuesday.”
Plasma 6.4.1 is bringing some enhancements such as the list views within Discover being keyboard navigable, improved text readability for some list items within KRunner and Discover, improved readability of graph axis labels, and more.
Plasma 6.5 has also been seeing more active development work now that Plasma 6.4 shipped. Plasma 6.5 by default will now only store the last four months worth of history by default for the Plasma Actvity manager service to allow for better performance / avoid an endlessly-growing database.
Plasma 6.5 is also bringing improvements to its Emoji Selector, System Settings improvements, and other changes.
