When the KDE project He launched Plasma 5.20, mentioned among its most important features that it would be more stable. It probably will be in the future, but the first versions came with many bugs, especially for KDE neon users, but its developers release the first maintenance updates soon, one just a week later and the other two weeks after the first launch. Thus, a few moments ago they launched plasma 5.20.2.
As usual, KDE has published several posts about this landing, the most important being this in which they detail all the changes introduced. It's also common for us to bring up the changes that Nate Graham brings us to on the weekends, partly because he considered them important enough to mention and partly because he also uses language that is easier to understand.
Plasma 5.20.2 Highlights
Considering that what Graham advanced were only the first two points, in the summary we will also add some changes from the official listThe better you read it, which, at least right now, is even difficult to read due to the design of the page.
- Fixed various crashes and crashes in System Preferences related to using or switching outside of the activity page.
- The Tilde expansion in KRunner now works again.
plasma 5.20.2 has already been officially released, but right now it is only available in code form. In the next few hours it will begin to reach the different Linux distributions, the first being KDE neon. If the project thinks it is mature enough, it should also reach distributions that have the KDE Backports repository added soon as well. The same can be said for distributions that use the Rolling Release development model: if it hasn't arrived already, it could arrive in the next few hours, unless they believe that Plasma 5.20 is still not working as well as we would have expected.
