Jonathan Riddell has announced the release of KDE Plasma 6.3.2, a bugfix update featuring various enhancements and new modules designed to improve the desktop experience. The release covers a week's worth of translations and fixes from KDE's contributors, featuring corrections for nonfree app license name colors, the resolution of the transactions job alongside the SNI, and the provision of application menu dbus interface information.

The update additionally resolves issues related to the Info Center, KWin, Workspace, Core/renderloop, Killer, Backends/drm, input, build compatibility with Qt 6.7, among other aspects. It also resolves issues in the KDecoration3::DecoratedWindow::applicationMenu, Wayland, libkscreen, Doctor, libksysguard, libplasma, WindowThumbnail, and bool immutable() shortcuts.



The Plasma Desktop has resolved touch scrolling issues, corrected a TypeError, adjusted the indentation of subordinate items in right-to-left layouts, and enhanced layout direction in key navigation. The Plasma Workspace has addressed clipboard actions that were not initializing the clipboard on the first attempt, eliminated unnecessary imports, and improved the stability of XWindowTasksModelTest::test_modelData.

The Powerdevil has implemented a fixed return press on the switch, enhanced robustness against display changes, introduced the DisplayFilter helper class, transferred brightness key handling to the ScreenBrightnessAgent, eliminated 24.12 versions from the appstream file, and removed unnecessary separators in the OptionsMenu.

Here the full announcement:
