It’s been a busy start to April for KDE Plasma developers as they continue working toward the Plasma 6.4 feature release. There have been yet more crash fixes along with other polishing and stability enhancements to kick off the new month.
KDE developer Nate Graham is out with his usual weekend development summary to highlight all of the great Plasma changes for the past week. Some of the interesting KDE Plasma changes this week included:
– For the Notes widgets that live in a panel, their pop-up can now be pinned down similar to other panel pop-ups.
– UI polishing for the crash reporting wizard. A before and after screenshot below, more details on these changes to the DrKonqi crash reporting wizard via this merge request.
– When changing the cursor blink rate, the preference is now synced to GTK-based apps too.
– The KWin zoom effect and Plasma desktop mouse wheel actions are much easier to activate via scrolling with a touchpad or a mouse with a high resolution scroll wheel.
– Various bugs in the layout of notifications have been resolved.
– Plasma 6.3.5 will fix a “somewhat common” crash related to power-cycling screens in multi-screen setups.
– Plasma 6.4.0 will fix a KWin crash that could occur from misbehaving third-party scripts.
– System Monitor and its widgets can now report statistics on Intel CPUs.
– Plasma 6.4 will improve KWin’s start-up speed by a little bit.
