KDE Plasma 6.5 Continues Seeing More Features Added & Polishing
Like clockwork KDE developer Nate Graham is out with his weekly recap of all the interesting Plasma changes for the week. There continues to be a lot of feature work and polishing that is building up for the Plasma 6.5 desktop release.
Some of the KDE Plasma 6.5 highlights for this week include:
- System Settings in Plasma 6.5 added the ability so pages can communicate to the parent app if they are not relevant to the given system/hardware in use. Actions can also be exported such as for more easily toggling Bluetooth and WiFi without having to first navigate to the individual page.
- Muting microphones with the "mute microphone" button or shortcut key sequence will now mute all microphones rather than just the active one.
- Improvements throughout for enhancing the cross-app window raising system for Plasma 6.5.
- Plasma's Browser Integration plug-in for Firefox will now block the system from sleeping while a file is downloading due to Firefox natively lacking such support.
- Discover's firmware updating back-end that uses Fwupd is now much faster now that a bottleneck has been addressed.
