While Plasma 6.4 is under active development as the next major release following Plasma 6.3's debut in February, this week was mostly about bug fixing. Nate Graham remarked, " This week we took a break from new features and put on our bug-fixing hats, squashing a very large number of bugs and annoyances, because it's important not to break things when you move fast! "
Some of the KDE Plasma highlights for the week include:
- The ability to control whether a window has a title bar and frame via the Task Manager context menu.
- Plasma 6.4 will restore the ability to configure the lock screen clock to disappear when the rest of the UI fades out, in order to provide a screensaver-like experience.
- Fixed two serious crash issues with KWin.
- Fixing an issue that could cause the lock screen to sometimes be all black on X11.
- Fixing one of the top 20 Plasma crashes, which would happen when waking from sleep.
- Fixing a visual glitch in the Plasma 6.4 Global Menu when moving the pointer between open menus.
- The kscreen-doctor tool can now be used to toggle HDR modes on/off.
- Reducing the amount of Plasma log spam.
- Various other bug and crash fixes.
