KDE Frameworks 5.45 Released With Remote Access Interface For KWayland

The latest monthly feature update to the KDE Frameworks collection of add-on libraries is now available. There's a lot of feature work to be found within today's KDE Frameworks 5.45.0 debut.

Among the features when digging through the KDE Frameworks 5.45 change-log include:

- Baloo now offers a baloodb command-line tool for interacting with the database.

- New icons for the Breeze icon set.

- KIO now builds for Android. Additionally, KIO also now supports hidden files on NTFS file-systems.

- Various improvements to the Kirigami framework including larger icons in mobile mode, a prototype for a delegate recycler, and other additions.

- KWayland has landed a remote access interface. This remote access interface is a bridge from the KWin compositor to KRfb. This interface passes a GBM file-descriptor of the current frame-buffer from KWin to KRfb, the KDE desktop sharing utility, to then display the contents.

- NetworkManagerQt now requires at least NetworkManager 1.0.0.

- A variety of improvements to the Plasma Framework.

- Solid now supports querying batteries, including within wireless gamepads and joysticks.
