The KDE Project has released KDE Frameworks 6.17, the latest update in their series of more than 70 add-on libraries designed to enhance the functionality of Qt-based KDE applications and the KDE Plasma desktop environment.
This version brings noticeable improvements in performance and efficiency, specifically targeting QtQuick-based applications. Enhancements include refinements to System Settings, Plasma Discover, and Spectacle. One highlight is the updated NavigationTabButton component, which now features a clearer design to indicate keyboard focus, thereby boosting accessibility.
Additionally, the update enhances the KRunner-powered search results, which now prioritize frequently used items, and addresses issues regarding the Kirigami.FormLayout component used within the System Settings app, eliminating initial flickering that users encountered.
The release also addresses several bugs, including a regression that hindered users from dragging files between screens on Plasma’s desktop. Other fixes include improvements to the Dolphin file manager and resolution of specific issues within the Kirigami framework that caused some applications to crash when utilizing software rendering. An issue preventing the drag-and-drop menu from appearing as expected has also been resolved.
