Less than a month after the previous 6.6.0 release, KDE announced the launch of Frameworks 6.7.0, expanding its collection of addon libraries to Qt and enhancing functionality available to developers across various platforms.
What’s New in KDE Frameworks 6.7.0?
The Breeze Icons saw several updates, including deleting outdated symlink icons and adding new symbolic icons for specific applications. Developers can now take advantage of improved system-suspend icons and fixes in recoloring issues for multimedia and engineering applications.
Another notable improvement is in KArchive, where a fix prevents crashes that previously occurred when archives lacked file modification times. Meanwhile, KAuth received updates to silence false-positive checks.
CMake users will appreciate the changes in Extra CMake Modules, including better handling of Android QML files, enhanced documentation generation, and improved output target management.
For graphical interface features, KGuiAddons introduced improved emoji handling and a series of bug fixes, particularly addressing issues in older Android versions.
There are also updates to KHolidays, including a missing Slovenian commemoration day, and KIO, where file manager stability has been improved.
Developers using KTextEditor will find several fixes for multi-cursor support, better syntax highlighting, and improvements in working with markdown files. This release also addresses bugs related to text insertion and selection issues, enhancing the overall editing experience.
For those interested in getting hands-on with KDE Frameworks 6.7.0, the software is available for download on KDE’s official website. Instructions for compiling from source are provided for those who prefer a more customized installation.
