KDE's 6th Megarelease - Beta 1
Wednesday, 29 November 2023
En route to the new Plasma, Frameworks and Gear
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.
It has been nearly 10 years since the last big release of our flagship
Plasma desktop environment, and the time has come again. KDE is making
available today the Beta version of all the software we will include in
a megarelease scheduled for the end of February 2024.
To ensure all parts of KDE's software stack are working together, we are
releasing all our major bundles at the same time. Today sees the
continuation of that journey with the Beta releases of Plasma 6, KDE
Frameworks 6 and the KDE Gear bundle of apps.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| This is a very early preview intended for developers and testers only. |
| We hope it will be picked up by rolling unstable distros, but it is far |
| from being ready for day-to-day use yet. |
