KDE developer Nate Graham is out with his usual thorough recap of their development efforts for the past week. Some of this week's KDE highlights include:
- Konsole now supports Sixel as a way of supporting graphics in the terminal. Sixel formatted graphics can now display fine with Konsole.
- A "15-minute bug" has been fixed where the Plasma Wayland session would sometimes randomly freeze, most prominently right after logging in.
- The Plasma Wayland session no longer crashes when screencasting in certain conditions.
- Custom splash screens now work again under the Plasma Wayland session.
- Fixing one of the ways tooltips could be mispositioned within KDE Plasma Wayland.
- System Settings will now launch faster.
- Qt Quick based applications should be slightly less resource intensive.
- KDE Plasma 5.24 will no longer cause the computer to improperly go to sleep when closing your laptop lid with an external monitor attached and the relevant system setting enabled.
- Ark will now delete the temporary file if cancelling an archiving job when it's in-progress.
- Konsole's text reflow feature works for lines of text without white-space or newline characters.
