Schedules/Plasma 6

From KDE Community Wiki

Preamble

There's currently no schedule for Plasma 6, but it will be added as soon as possible.

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]
