KDE Frameworks 6.12 Is Out, Here’s What’s New
A month after its previous 6.11 release, KDE announced the launch of Frameworks 6.12, expanding its collection of add-on libraries to Qt and enhancing functionality available to developers across various platforms.
In this release, Baloo, the file indexing and file search framework for KDE Plasma, refines file content indexing by preventing race conditions when updated files are processed and stopping extraction attempts if indexing fails.
Breeze Icons has tackled several minor bugs and added symbolic links to improve icon clarity for frequently used functions, such as value-decrease and value-increase. KCalendarCore now avoids crashes if a recurring event contains an invalid or missing period, showcasing KDE’s focus on stability and user-friendliness.
