Preamble
Plasma is the desktop developed by the KDE community. Version 6 of Plasma is being developed, built and shipped on top of Qt 6.
Further details for Plasma 6 can be found on the Wiki, a current list of open bugs at Bugzilla.
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, 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 [1]
- 6.0 will be a coordinated "mega" release together with KDE Frameworks and KDE Gear [2].
- No scheduled LTS releases yet but those will come when distros find them useful
The schedule is also available at:
Release mangler: Jonathan Riddell
Stages of releases
- Repo and Soft Feature Freeze: On the Thursday two weeks before beta is repo and soft feature freeze. List of git repositories fixed and major features merged.
- Beta version: Thursday following the corresponding KDE Frameworks release (which is usually released on the second saturday of a month).
- One week after beta release we'll try a beta test day where we encourage everyone to install and test the beta.
- .0 tagged on Thursday three weeks after the Beta, released on following Tuesday
- Bugfix tags/releases are made on Tuesdays in a Fibonacci sequence of weeks (1, 1, 2, 3, 5)
