Plasma 5.27 Kickoff * Review Plasma 5.26 * QA is good. * KWin regressions. * Bigscreen well received, there is an important crasher in sentry * Announcement gets done by promo team, plasma devs should talk to them to guide the process
* Sentry * https://errors-eval.kde.org/ * Need to investigate submission conditions to make sure they match our intentions * Discussion about how we integrate with bugzilla; no firm consensus yet among the several options * Plasma 5.27 etc release schedule * Agreed release schedule. Remove Qt 5 support after 5.27.2. * Will Frameworks get any patch fixes for 5 series? Yes, bugfix maintainer for a while. No consensus on what that would look like. 5.101, 5.102, 5.103 released or 5.101.1, 5.101.2 as bugfix only maybe every 3 months? Discuss at Frameworks meeting tomorrow. * Plasma 5.27 Qt and KF5 deps * Leave it at set(QT_MIN_VERSION "5.15.2") but strongly recommend distros use 5.15 from KDE patch collection. * VDG catchup * Discussed new wallpaper for Plasma 6, maybe a contest or commission. Andy suggests paying someone. * Welcome screens have been added to some apps. * Systemsettings: they have discussed deprecating QWidget KCMs for KF6/Plasma 6. * Plasma developers want VDG to make non-code visual changes for Plasma 6, like an icon refresh. * VDG people have a bunch of projects they'd like to work on that require code changes from Plasma folks, like System Settings re-organization and a unified theming system. * Discussed changing the Plasma version numbering system to no longer be explicitly connected to the Qt version. * Plasma Mobile catchup * Weekly meetings on Thursday * 5.27 Plans * Prioritise porting QWidget KCMs to QtQuick see https://phabricator.kde.org/tag/plasma_kcm_redesign/ * ratijas will port powermanagement data engine * Plasma Welcome to be added: a simple onboarding wizard and displays release notes for new releases * Flatpak KCM to be added * Plasma shell managing multi screen differently, works better for e.g. USB-C docks. If you switch between X and wayland the panels differ on second screen, concept of primary screen extended to fix this. * Big tiling support in review
