KDE Plasma 6.0.5 Released as the Last Update in the Series with More Bug Fixes
Coming five weeks after KDE Plasma 6.0.4, the KDE Plasma 6.0.5 update is here to improve the scrolling performance of long scrollable views in the Plasma Discover package manager, the HDR mode when using Night Color, support for screens using fractional scaling, and the search/filter field in Plasma’s Printers widget.
KDE Plasma 6.0.5 also improves Plasma Digital Clock’s Islamic calendar feature to respect the locale-specific numbering system so that users living in Arabic-speaking countries and using Western-style Arabic numerals see the latter rather than Eastern-style Arabic numerals.

KDE Releases Plasma 6.0.5 » Linux Magazine
If you're a fan of KDE’s Plasma desktop environment, the newest iteration has arrived. The fifth iteration also happens to be the last maintenance update for the 6.0 release (assuming the next release will be 6.1). The full changelog lists everything that has arrived for 6.0.5 but here are some of the highlights.
Discover has received plenty of attention, much of it in the form of Flatpak fixes (such as not tripping over nullprt remotes when installing flatpak refs and not reporting regressions on transaction processes). As well, you'll find scrolling performance has improved, URLs have been cleaned up (dropping provider parts), FwupdBackend sets user agent from the client, and the UpdatesPage invisible deletes bug has been fixed. One important fix for Discover is that it will no longer incorrectly claim that apps without a license are proprietary.
