KDE developer Nate Graham is out with his usual Saturday recap to sum up all of the KDE developments for the past week. This week's highlights include:
- Qt apps on KDE Plasma 6 will be able to survive the compositor crashing/restarting. This was covered earlier in the week in Wayland Clients Can Now Survive Qt Wayland Crashes / Compositor Restarts.
- KDE's Konsole now works on Windows. This also allows KDE applications with an embedded Konsole view like Kate to now embed Konsole itself on Windows too.
- The ability to configure the Kickoff application Launcher to use a grid layout for everything, beyond the Favorites view allowed currently.
- For new users on KDE Plasma 5.27.3+ the default timeout of inactivity before sleeping is now 15 minutes and will generate a correct power profile for convertible laptops.
- KDE's Welcome Center has a new mobile-friendly layout.
- Improving how the SDDM login screen works with a touchscreen in the Plasma Wayland session.
- KRuler now works properly on Wayland.
- Fixing a way applications could crash under the Plasma Wayland session when a display goes to sleep.
- Fixing an issue where red and blue color channels are no longer sometimes swapped when screencasting from the Plasma Wayland session.
- Various other fixes.
