KDE developers this week have been busy with a mix of polishing the recent Plasma 6.4 release as well as taking on more feature development work for Plasma 6.5 coming later in the year.
Most exciting this week is on the Qt toolkit side with Qt 6.10 set to offer the session-management-v1 protocol support for Wayland session restore/management.
Plasma 6.5 meanwhile for its built-in RDP server is now able to sync clipboard text between the client and server.
Plasma 6.5 is also adding the ability to copy the QR code for clipboard items.
Plasma 6.5 will also have increased the responsiveness of logging into Plasma by optimizing the splash screen code. The duration of the login animation is also reduced to help make Plasma feel more responsive.
With the upcoming KDE Frameworks 6.16 release, all scrollable views in Qt Quick based KDE software will have inertial scrolling when scrolled using a touchpad.
