Graham today published his weekly KDE development summary that highlights all the K* accomplishments. Among the KDE action items completed to end out May and in the first few days of June included:

- Apps that are marked "favorite" in Kickoff/Kicker are now weighted more highly within KRunner search results for Plasma 6.0.

- The KDE Clipboard widget now allows generating a QR code from some text.

- Improved handling for Flatpak apps that request permissions to run in the background.

- The Okular document viewer now allows setting a default scaling mode when printing PDFs.

- Support for showing Krita files (.kra) metadata within the properties dialog and elsewhere with KDE Frameworks 6.0.

Plus many other changes as noted over on Nate's blog.
