This Week in Plasma is out with its latest issue to sum up all of the interesting KDE Plasma desktop changes over the past week. Highlights include:
- Plasma 6.8 is introducing "kscreenctl" as a new screen control tool to eventually replace the kscreen-doctor tool. The kscreenctl tool provides various options to change the display output configuration.
- Plasma 6.8's built-in remote desktop (RDP) server now has a setting to optionally auto-lock the session after the last connected RDP client disconnects.
- Plasma 6.8's Plasma Login Manager will now track the last-used session on a per-user basis.
- For Plasma 6.6.7 there is a fix for a KWin crash on log-in when using newer NVIDIA GPUs with the latest NVIDIA drivers and have various color management features enabled.
- Plasma 6.7.4 has a crash fix for KWin on login for various laptops.
- Plasma 6.7.4 has a crash fix where System Settings would go down if Fanatec racing pedals were connected to the system.
- KDE Frameworks 6.29 has fixed a surprisingly common but random-appearing way that Plasma could crash within the
QTextFrame::begin code.
