Plasma 6 Release Candidate 1 has landed.
We are less than 50 days away from the final version of #Plasma6.
Along with Frameworks 6 and KDE Gear 24.02, the Megarelaease on the 28th of February will be one of the biggest and more complex upgrades in KDE's history.
One more RC will be released on the 31st of January and then it will be (hopefully) clear sailing until the final release.
Happy Holidays everyone! (II) We reached 500 members π°π π½!

We are immensely grateful to all those who donated. Your generosity will keep KDE running another year.
We have added two stretch goals, one will help us fund new designs for Plasma and our apps. The other will keep basic services running, and contribute to growing our userbase beyond the FLOSS-o-verse.
Happy Holidays everyone! And thanks for all the bugsπͺ²πͺ²π!
Seriously: Hurrah for team bug testers! The bug #reports you are sending in are great! #Tests are thorough and insightful, and your contributions will help make #Plasma6, when it arrives in February, so much better.
Thank you for your time, have a great holiday, and keep the #bugreports coming!
