| == 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 [https://phabricator.kde.org/project/board/310/ KDE Frameworks 6] and [https://phabricator.kde.org/project/view/316/ Plasma 6].
| |
|
| |
| You can keep track of the [https://iskdeusingqt6.org/ progress of porting Frameworks, Gear 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.''
| |
|
| |
| == Notes ==
| |
| * Plasma 6.0 will depend on Qt 6.6 and Frameworks 6.0 (and Gear 24.02 for libkexiv2)
| |
| * Initially releases will be 3 times a year as with Plasma 5
| |
| * Once distros agree stability has been found we can move to 2 releases a year <ref>Nate Graham, [https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/issues/52#note_676743 "Approved Plasma 6 proposal: change the release schedule"].</ref>
| |
| * 6.0 will be a [https://community.kde.org/Schedules/February_2024_MegaRelease coordinated "mega" release] together with [https://develop.kde.org/products/frameworks/ KDE Frameworks] and [https://apps.kde.org/de/ KDE Gear] <ref>Albert Astals Cid, [https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-devel/2023-October/002120.html "KDE+Qt6 releases schedule"]</ref>.
| |
| * No scheduled LTS releases yet but those will come when distros find them useful
| |
|
| |
| The schedule is also available at:
| |
| * [https://phabricator.kde.org/calendar/ Calendar on Phabricator]
