KDE Plasma 6.3.1 Released with Plasma Discover Improvements and Many Bug Fixes
KDE Plasma 6.3.1 is here to make the updates list in the Plasma Discover package manager case-insensitively sorted, restore search results for the BBC Weather provider in the weather widget, add support for the Welcome Center to remember its window size on Wayland and its position on X11 across launches.
It also improves the presentation of search results for the new DWD weather provider in the Weather Report widget and improves the reliability with which a trashcan icon on the desktop detects when it should change its appearance based on the presence or absence of files in the trash.

KDE Plasma 6.3.1, Bugfix Release for February - KDE Community
Today KDE releases a bugfix update to KDE Plasma 6, versioned 6.3.1.
Plasma 6.3 was released in February 2025 with many feature refinements and new modules to complete the desktop experience.
This release adds a week’s worth of new translations and fixes from KDE’s contributors. The bugfixes are typically small but important and include...
KDE Plasma 6.3.1 Desktop Environment Released
Only a week after the release of Plasma 6.3, the KDE team rolled out the first bugfix update to its 6.3 series, version 6.3.1, by patching several issues, providing translations, and ensuring a smoother user experience overall.
With that said, the Breeze theme no longer causes occasional crashes in non-KDE apps, KScreen Doctor now handles DPMS mode outputs more reliably, and Info Center no longer struggles with page flickering on its energy panel.
Moreover, KWin, KDE’s window manager, reduces graphical glitches and polishes advanced display features like night light and offloading for HDR. Among these changes, one of the more important is a fix that ensures brightness does not ramp up unexpectedly when you enable night light.

KDE Plasma 6.3 released – and 6.3.1 is already here
KDE Plasma 6.3 is here, closely followed by a point release, alongside new versions of the KDE Frameworks and KDE Gear apps collection.
It's all happening in KDE land. KDE Plasma 6.3 arrived early last week. A few days later on Valentine's Day, the KDE Frameworks 6.11 joined in the fun. Then, just a day ago, as we write, a minor point release of the desktop followed, Plasma 6.3.1. This was all preceded by a minor point-release to the KDE Gear applications suite. Version 24.12.2 arrived just days earlier.
This raft of new releases all arriving so close together could almost have been timed to celebrate the first anniversary of the release of the KDE project's Qt 6-based "megarelease" on February 29, 2024. Plasma 6.3.1 is just a relatively minor bugfix release. The announcement lists three main fixes, and while the full changelog details 154 bugs fixed in 22 components, there shouldn't be any visible functional differences.
