KDE Plasma 6.4 Is Looking To Be In Good Shape, Fewer Bugs

([KDE] 6 Hours Ago KDE Plasma 6.4)


KDE developer Nate Graham is out with his weekly blog post summarizing all of the interesting KDE Plasma developments for the past week. Notable this week was [1]the debut of Plasma 6.4 stable and from early user feedback appears to be in good shape.

Nate Graham wrote of initial user feedback and bug reports on Plasma 6.4:

"So far it’s been getting a really positive reception. The bug reports bear this out; most of the real actual bugs reported against 6.4.0 are either pre-existing issues or minor regressions, many of which we’ve already fixed in time for 6.4.1 coming next Tuesday."

Plasma 6.4.1 is bringing some enhancements such as the list views within Discover being keyboard navigable, improved text readability for some list items within KRunner and Discover, improved readability of graph axis labels, and more.

Plasma 6.5 has also been seeing more active development work now that Plasma 6.4 shipped. Plasma 6.5 by default will now only store the last four months worth of history by default for the Plasma Actvity manager service to allow for better performance / avoid an endlessly-growing database.

Plasma 6.5 is also bringing improvements to its Emoji Selector, System Settings improvements, and other changes.

What I'd like to see is a prohibition on Microsoft incorporating
multi-megabyte Easter Eggs and other stupid bloatware into Windows and
Office. A typical computer with pre-installed Microsoft shoveware probably
only has about 3 megabytes of hard drive space free because of flight
simulators, pinball games, and multimedia credits Easter Eggs that nobody
wants. I predict that if Microsoft is ever forced to remove these things,
the typical user will actually be able to purchase competing software now
that they have some free space to put it on. Of course, stock in hard
drive companies might plummet...
