KDE (kde@floss.social)'s status on Wednesday, 24-Jan-2024 13:12:30 UTC KDE Plasma 6.0 Release Candidate 2 is just a week away!
This will be the last test release before the final version Plasma 6.0 hits repos on February 28. This is your chance to test a nearly entirely functional Plasma 6.0 and help us by reporting bugs.
Watch this space!

KDE (kde@floss.social)'s status on Wednesday, 10-Jan-2024 17:12:24 UTC KDE 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.

KDE (kde@floss.social)'s status on Wednesday, 20-Dec-2023 19:32:59 UTC KDE Plasma 6 Beta 2 released! We are nearly there, but more testing needed.
Just in time for the Winter Holidays 🎄, Happy New Beta 🎉!
https://kde.org/announcements/megarelease/6/beta2/
After this second Beta, there will be two Release Candidates, one on the 10th and the other on the 31st of January. All these releases are **not** final, they are for testing and should not be used in production...
