About the Plasma release schedule
Quoting: About the Plasma release schedule —
A while back, there was a discussion about moving Plasma to a twice-yearly release model, to better align with discrete release distros that also have two yearly releases — mostly Fedora KDE and Kubuntu.
We discussed this at last year’s Akademy and decided not to do it yet, based on the reason that a faster release schedule would help get important Wayland improvements to users more quickly, given that we’re trying to polish up our Wayland session at high speed. We agreed that once the Wayland Known Significant Issues wiki page is empty, we can re-evaluate.
Until that re-evaluation happens, we decided to instead lengthen our beta release periods from four weeks to six weeks, with new beta releases every two.
Plasma 6.3 will be released very soon, yay! For this release, we remembered to push out the extra new beta releases, but forgot about adding on an extra two weeks to its duration. Oops.
