Nate Graham is out with his weekly development summary to highlight all of the interesting Plasma happenings for the past week.

KWin with Plasma 6.4 also now allows enabling "Extended Dynamic Range" on capable displays. KWin will also allow limiting the maximum color depth on screens supporting the feature. In case you missed some of my other recent Linux HDR coverage, see Ubuntu 25.04 & Fedora 42 Hit A Long Sought Milestone With HDR Support Working Well On The Linux Desktop and Samsung Odyssey OLED G8 G81SF 4K UHD HDR Monitor.

KDE Plasma this week also landed some UI improvements, some performance enhancements with Frameworks 6.15, and various bug fixes. More details via Nate's blog.
