| Project KDE Neon Creates Experimental Assembly with KDE Plasma 6 |
|---|
The project KDE Neon has announced the creation of an experimental assembly based on the KDE Plasma 6 shell and applications ported to KDE Frameworks 6. Previously, KDE Neon had assembled with KDE Plasma 6, but those versions were unstable. Now, they are categorized as experimental and included in the “Experimental” repository. One key change in KDE 6 is the transition to QT 6, along with updates to default settings and basic libraries. KDE Frameworks 6, which forms the KDE software base, has undergone significant API processing. Out of 527 KDE projects, 380 projects have already been implemented with Qt 6. However, there are still some components that are not yet supported by Qt 6, including Colord-Kde, Falkon, Kdevelop, Kget, Konqueror, Kopete, Konversation, Ktorrent, Okular, Aura-Browser, Amarok, Digikam, and Calligra. The release of KDE Plasma 6 is expected in the fall of 2023. |
