Following last week's near total rewrite of the KWin compositing code there has been an interesting batch of new improvements this week. Some of this week's highlights include:
- KDE's Konsole now re-flows text when resizing the window. The functionality is enabled by default (but there is an option to disable it).
- Ark now supports ARJ archives, the compressed file archive format originally popular in the early 90's for DOS.
- Kirigami icons in apps now use less RAM, so much so that it should be a noticeable memory reduction for applications using lots of icons.
- The Dolphin file manager now supports decompressing multiple archive files simultaneously via the context menu item.
- The KDE System Settings log-in screen area has been rewritten.
- Plasma's microphone indicator can now show which application is currently using the microphone.
