In early June, the KDE project He launched the latest major update to your graphical environment. They promised improved performance and users of KDE neon, Kubuntu + Backports PPA and Rolling Release distributions are already enjoying it. They also assured that it did not arrive with major bugs, but all software can be improved and two weeks ago threw v5.22.2 which removed the notice of ghost updates from Discover. Now, a few moments ago, they launched plasma 5.22.3, and has done so with a few more fixes.
KDE has released the release note and the full list of new arrivals usual, but cannot be said to explain things in the best way in the unofficial notes. The list you have below is present in Plasma 5.22.3, but it was provided by Nate Graham and he did it in a language easier to understand.
