The Qt 6 based KDE Frameworks 6 (KF6) development is ongoing since some time.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Already many things including Plasma and several applications, like Kate, have working KF6 based development versions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
KDE contributors did meet this week online for planning the final release time-frames.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This lead to [this current plan](https://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-devel/2023-September/002008.html):
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Frameworks / Plasma/ Gear Release Schedule Plan
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Following on from the last Akademy we checked where we were with our
|
||
|
|
development progress in a meeting and settled on the following plan
|
||
|
|
for all 3 major parts:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- In KDE Gear master will be open for Qt6 code to land for those
|
||
|
|
ready to move. Not all apps need to port.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- The KDE Gear release will move by 2 months to allow for the extra
|
||
|
|
time needed for testing initial Qt6 changes
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- An Alpha will be made in November (a soft freeze in Plasma terms)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Betas/RCs will be made throughout December and January (3 releases,
|
||
|
|
3 weeks apart)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- Final release of all 3 major parts in sync in February
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Due to the delay of KDE Gear by an additional patch release of 23.08
|
||
|
|
will be made.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is still up for discussion, but if no objections come up, we will see a triple release of a first stable KF6, KF6 based Plasma and KF6 based Gear next February.

There is still a lot to do, [help is welcome](https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved)!
