Plasma 6, Frameworks and Gear draw closer
Every few years we port the key components of our software to a new
version of Qt, taking the opportunity to remove cruft and leverage the
updated features the most recent version of Qt has to offer us.
We are now just over two months away from KDE's megarelease. At the end
of February 2024 we will publish Plasma 6, Frameworks 6 and a whole new
set of applications in a special edition of KDE Gear all in one go.
If you have been following the updates here and here, you will know we
are deep in the testing phase; and KDE is making available today the
second Beta version of all the software we will include in the
megarelease.
As with versions Alpha and the first Beta, this is a preview intended
for developers and testers. The software in this second beta release is
reaching stability fast, but it is still not 100% safe to use in a
production environment. We still recommend you continue using stable
versions of Plasma, Frameworks and apps for your everyday work. But if
you do use this, watch out for bugs and report them promptly, so we can
solve them.
Read on to find out more about KDE's 6th Megarelease, what it covers,
and how you can help make the new versions of Plasma, KDE's apps and
Frameworks a success now.
Announcement: https://kde.org/announcements/megarelease/6/beta2/
Thursday, 07 December 2023.
Over 120 individual programs plus dozens of programmer libraries and
feature plugins are released simultaneously as part of KDE Gear.
Today they all get new bugfix source releases with updated translations,
including:
* dolphin-plugins: Mountisoaction: add preferred raw disk mimetypes
* falkon: Fix StartPage search engine default configuration
* kdepim-runtime: Correctly reload configuration
The full changelog can be found at
https://kde.org/announcements/changelogs/gear/23.08.4/
Previously we assumed that a port of KDE Gear 24.02-beta1 will use Qt6.
So kde:6 was used to determine that the applications version is beta1.
However, not all applications will be ported in time of the release as
it seems, so we need to have a better way to select the version.
For now, the KDE Gear-ports can use (for beta1)
CATEGORIES=$main kde kde-applications kde-devel
resepectively (for stable version)
CATEGORIES=$main kde kde-applications
to get the proper DISTVERSION value and environment set up.

Plasma desktop environment, and the time has come again. KDE is making
