With this release, the Plasma NetworkManager plugin is improved, several broken System Settings page issues are fixed, and several enhancements to Plasma Mobile are added.
As the third maintenance release for the most recent KDE Plasma 6.1 desktop environment series, the KDE Project announced today the release and wide availability of KDE Plasma 6.1.3.
KDE Plasma 6.1.3, released just two weeks after KDE Plasma 6.1.2, is designed to enhance support for Flatpak apps in the Plasma Discover package manager by taking care of runtime rebases automatically, correctly removing EOL references without a replacement, and resolving a few bugs.
Additionally, it fixes fuzzy icons in the toolbar buttons of Plasma’s new Edit Mode, disables triple buffering for NVIDIA users to fix a bug, and improves KWin’s “open new windows under pointer” feature to work as expected and ignore the active screen when that screen differs from the screen with the pointer on it.
Additionally, KDE Plasma 6.1.3 resolves several Wayland difficulties, enhances the Klipper clipboard widget, and resolves a bug that caused some System Settings pages—like the Touchpad or Networks pages—to malfunction when they were opened.
This release also includes improvements to the KRdp library, which makes it possible to toggle RDP servers without users; the greeter/authenticator received property of the KScreenLocker component now indicates whether a prompt was displayed previously; and the Plasma NetworkManager (plasma-nm) plugin now utilizes a shared QQmlEngine whenever feasible.
The Folio homescreen has been improved to close the settings view when the home button is pressed, improve the Cube effect, add missing backgrounds to widget config dialogs, add a button to the wallpaper selector to access advanced settings, and disable animation after unlocking the device. Plasma Mobile has also received some improvements.
Smaller updates were made to a number of other components; for more information, view the complete changelog. While you wait for the Plasma 6.1.3 packages to appear in the stable software repositories of your GNU/Linux distribution, upgrade your installation of the KDE Plasma 6.1 desktop environment series as soon as you can.
