Throughout this week, KDE He launched Plasma 6.3. It's a new version of the graphical environment, and nothing is ever perfect. For this reason, the "K team" releases the next version a week later, during which time they have already found some bugs to fix. Thus, Plasma 6.3.1 will arrive on Tuesday, February 18, something that will happen without new functions beyond bugs fixed. Among them, a KWin problem, but that only affects some configurations of distributions that use them.
Nate Graham laments this failure, and relates it to the fact that There are very few testers or beta testers. This is also understandable, since while it is true that people like me would like to collaborate, it is also true that we do not want to ruin any important task. In any case, errors are found and eliminated, and that is not bad either.
What's new in KDE Plasma 6.4
- The media widget now displays a playback speed selector when the source offers this capability.
- The graph view on the Information Center's power page has been improved. It's now in a card, like in System Monitor, and has nicer margins.
- Spectacle supports pinch-to-zoom gesture in its screenshot viewer.
- It is now possible to scroll the browser widget with one finger using the touchscreen swipe gesture.
Plasma 6.3.1 Improvements
- Improved presentation of search results from the new DWD weather provider in the Weather Report widget.
- BBC Weather has recently improved the quality of its forecast data, so they have changed the weather widget so that it no longer hides search results from it if there are also results from other providers.
- The list of updates in Discover is now sorted in a case-insensitive manner.
- The Welcome Center now remembers its window size (and in X11, position) across launches, like most of our other QML application windows these days.

Plasma 6.3.1 is expected to arrive next Tuesday, Plasma 6.4 on June 17, and Frameworks 6.12 on March 14.
