Schedules/Plasma 6: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 07:06, 6 September 2023

Preamble

There's currently no schedule for Plasma 6, but it will be added as soon as possible. A release date has been proposed for February 2024, this still is under discussion and to be finalized. No precise date has been set, yet.

Further details for Plasma 6 can be found on the Wiki, a current list of open bugs at Bugzilla.

Status

Work for porting Plasma and KDE Frameworks based on Qt 6 is currently the focus of the development. If you're able to help, please have a look at the Phabricator Boards for KDE Frameworks 6 and Plasma 6.

You can keep track of the progress of porting Frameworks and Plasma to Qt 6. Note: That page is generated automatically from source code data. Please also note that not all projects listed on that page need to have a release based on Qt 6 before the first version of Plasma 6 can be released. The projects not using Qt 6 by the time of the first Plasma 6 release will simply ship the Qt 5 version.

General

Purpose

This page will contain the release schedule for previous and future releases of KDEs Plasma 6.

Strategy

For Plasma 6, initially it is planned to have 3 or more releases per year.

Once Plasma 6 has stabilized enough after its initial release, there might be only 2 releases per year. The KDE community will try to align those releases with distributions releases. Due to the slower release schedule after the initial releases, there will be a lengthened Beta period, probably with weekly updates to the Beta. ^[1]
