Among the changes:
Over 180 individual programs plus dozens of programmer libraries and feature plugins are released simultaneously as part of KDE Gear.
Today they all get new bugfix source releases with updated translations, including:
KRunner is now aware of various types of color codes, and can display the color and other textual representations of it.
Spectacle has gotten a big UI overhaul! Now it launches by default into the Rectangular Region overlay (this is configurable, of course), allowing you to drag a box to screenshot an area or immediately capture the whole screen, annotate on anything, and pick any other type of screenshot or recording. This new UX is much less modal and feels great to use!
The “About This System” page in Info Center and System Settings now indicates the system’s memory more accurately, displaying both the physical amount and also the actually usable amount, and offering information about why the numbers might differ.

During KDE source compilation.
Clipboard had an error …
“file:///usr/share/plasma/plasmoids/org.kde.plasma.clipboard/contents/ui/main.qml:122:26: Type Private.ClipboardMenu unavailable
qrc:/qt/qml/org/kde/plasma/private/clipboard/ClipboardMenu.qml:209:9: QtLabsModel.DelegateChoice is not a type”
so I decided to build KDE from source 🙂
“Ported the clipboard to use a standard SQLite database, rather than its own internal custom format. This improves reliability, support for saving many data types, and memory efficiency especially with images”
Before the 6.2.4 bugfix release of 2024-11-26.
Another bugfix release shortly after the 6.2 …
Most of them were fixed with the 6.2.1 release though.
