Nate Graham and John Veness are out today with the newest issue of This Week in Plasma. Notable for KDE Plasma 6.6.x~6.7 development this week were a lot of bug fixing -- including multiple crash fixes -- and some UI polishing too.

Some of the KDE Plasma development highlights for this week include:

- Plasma 6.6.3 will no longer show the Panel Spacer Widget in the widgets sidebar, since it's only for panels and doesn't make sense for the sidebar.

- Saving a color scheme with the name of an existing system color scheme will now provide a clearer error message with Plasma 6.7.

- Plasma 6.6.2 fixes a possible KWin crash around custom modelines with kscreen-doctor. For Plasma 6.6.3 is already another KWin crash fix around kscreen-doctor usage ready.

- Plasma 6.6.3 is also fixing a possible crash on login with certain multi-monitor setups.

- Plasma 6.6.2 also fixes various issues with Plasma's remote desktop server when accessed from a client on Microsoft Windows. Several KRDP fixes involved.

- Plasma 6.6.2 fixes an issue where bridged Ethernet network connections that are successfully connected would show a disconnected icon in the Networks widget.

- Plasma 6.6.3 makes KWin's screencasting feature more robust with PipeWire 1.6+.
