Following this week's release of [1]KDE Plasma 6.2 , the KDE developers are busy addressing some of the initial fallout from this desktop update as well as more feature work aimed at Plasma 6.3.

KDE developer Nate Graham is out with his usual weekly KDE development summary. In today's post he classifies it as a "pretty good release!" But does note there are some regressions being investigated and fixed.

Among the fixes on the way for Plasma 6.2.1 are fixing some widget pop-ups being partially positioned off-screen, some window focus regressions, the virtual desktop switcher on-screen display sometimes not appearing, three Plasma crashes, KPipeWire library screen recordings using VP9 to be cut-off on slower systems, and a variety of other fixes.

On the Plasma 6.3 feature front, there has been further optimizations to speed-up the launch speed for Discover.
