This updates KDE Plasma 6 to the first stable release.
Update plan for the rest of KDE:
* The KDE Applications will be updated to 24.02 at the beginning of the
next quarter in the tree. They will be mostly Qt6 based.
To test them beforehand, one can use the overlay [1].
* The idea is to wait out the first patch-release for the applications,
which should hopefully get rid of most of the new bugs.
* The Qt5 bases KDE Frameworks 5 and Plasma 5 ports should remain in the
tree for the next quarter -- Frameworks as long as it is required by
other ports. The Plasma 5 ports will likely be removed at some point
in the future however -- as there is no apparent benefit in having
multiple Plasma versions at the moment.
* The Qt6 based KDE applications will replace the current Qt5 based
ports. As the maintenance overhead for duplicate is not manageable.
* For co-instability the KDE Frameworks 5 ports will be adapted to
depend on the KDE Frameworks 6 ports as described in [2].
* This plan is not fixed in stone, but will be adapted when it seems
reasonable to do so.

KDE's 6th Megarelease - Release Candidate 1
Wednesday, 10 January 2024
Plasma 6, Frameworks and Gear draw closer
Every few years we port the key components of our software to a new
version of Qt, taking the opportunity to remove cruft and leverage the
updated features the most recent version of Qt has to offer us.
KDE's megarelease is less than 50 days away. At the end of February 2024
we will publish Plasma 6, Frameworks 6, and a whole new set of
applications in a special edition of KDE Gear all in one go.
If you have been following the updates here, here and here, you will
know we are making our way through the testing phase and gradually
reaching stability. KDE is making available today the first Release
Candidate version of all the software we will include in the
megarelease.
As with the Alpha and Beta versions, this is a preview intended for
developers and testers. The software provided is nearing stability, but
is still not 100% safe to use in a production environment. We still
recommend you continue using stable versions of Plasma, Frameworks and
apps for your everyday work. But if you do use this, watch out for bugs
and report them promptly, so we can solve them.
Read on to find out more about KDE's 6th Megarelease, what it covers,
and how you can help make the new versions of Plasma, KDE's apps and
Frameworks a success now.
To get a full Qt6 based desktop, the overlay below can be used (once it
is updated to RC1)

Plasma is KDE's flagship desktop environment. Plasma is like Windows or
macOS, but is renowned for being flexible, powerful, lightweight and
configurable. It can be used at home, at work, for schools and research.
Plasma 6 is the upcoming version of Plasma that integrates the latest
version of Qt, Qt 6, the framework upon which Plasma is built.
Plasma 6 incorporates new technologies from Qt and other constantly
evolving tools, providing new features, better support for the latest
hardware, and supports for the hardware and software technologies to
come.

KDE's 6th Megarelease - Beta 1
Wednesday, 29 November 2023
En route to the new Plasma, Frameworks and Gear
Every few years we port the key components of our software to a new
version of Qt, taking the opportunity to remove cruft and leverage the
updated features the most recent version of Qt has to offer us.
It has been nearly 10 years since the last big release of our flagship
Plasma desktop environment, and the time has come again. KDE is making
available today the Beta version of all the software we will include in
a megarelease scheduled for the end of February 2024.
To ensure all parts of KDE's software stack are working together, we are
releasing all our major bundles at the same time. Today sees the
continuation of that journey with the Beta releases of Plasma 6, KDE
Frameworks 6 and the KDE Gear bundle of apps.
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| This is a very early preview intended for developers and testers only. |
| We hope it will be picked up by rolling unstable distros, but it is far |
| from being ready for day-to-day use yet. |
