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)!
