The latest weekly report on KDE development has been released. Significant changes are being made for the upcoming release of KDE Plasma 6.6 on February 12:
- The KWin composite manager has implemented emulation of XRandr, a feature used to dynamically change resolution, rotate, transform, and mirror screen content. This support has resolved issues with displaying full-screen X11 applications on widescreen screens when using XWayland. (source)
- The modernization of dialog boxes for accessing isolated applications to external resources (XDG portal) is ongoing, with a simplified interface for selecting windows and screens. (source)
- A pin button has been added to the web browser and volume control widget for leaving open pop-up windows called from the panel. (source)
- There have been improvements in displaying disk status on the SMART diagnostics page in the configurator. (source)
- The height of headers and indents between elements in lists has been unified in applications based on the Kirigami and QtWidgets frameworks.
- In a panel widget with an application menu (Kicker), adjustments have been made to show submenus when quickly moving the cursor over top-level menu items. The submenu is now expanded to the left of the parent element when the widget is placed in the right sidebar. (source)
- The Kickoff application menu now allows the use of cursor keys to return from the area with search results to the field for entering a search term request. (source)
