Among the significant changes, Breeze-gtk has received fixes for corner radius backgrounds in Gtk3 menus, enhancing the visual appeal of menus across the system. Discover, the software management tool, has improved its querying functionality and resolved several crash issues, contributing to a more stable user interaction.
Rpm-ostree has been refined to better manage tags and notifications for completed transactions, thus enhancing its performance within Plasma. PipeWire developers have addressed compatibility issues with older FFmpeg versions, ensuring seamless functionality across various systems.
Krdp (Remote Desktop Protocol) has improved its KCM interface, allowing users to toggle system users more responsively and fixing a bug related to section delegates. KScreen has also been updated to prevent crashes by correcting image description settings on Windows without a surface.
KWin, the window manager, has undergone significant enhancements, particularly in contrast effects, scene rendering, and plugin management, resulting in smoother window operations. The Plasma Firewall has seen improvements to its functionality, specifically in managing states on systems where it is not available.
Furthermore, other components like libksysguard, plasma-activities, plasma-desktop, and xdg-desktop-portal-kde have received various updates to resolve specific bugs and improve overall functionality. For instance, libksysguard now accurately manages swap attributes, while plasma-activities has focused on fixing issues related to task continuations.
Additional updates include enhancements to Spectacle, the screenshot utility, and Plasma Workspace, which has resolved issues with output devices, item rendering, and the wallpaper manager.
