2.9.0

Note

Report any bugs or issues you encounter

Changelog: 2.8.1 -> 2.9.0

• Fixed a possible Plasma crash
• The terminal is now independent of plasmashell and remains open if plasmashell crashes or restarts
• Reworked settings pages
• Other fixes
• If the widget icon is placed on a horizontal panel (not the system tray), the counter will have a different appearance.
  It is better to place it after the "Margins Separator" plasmoid.
  And don't forget to disable the widget in the system tray.

Upgrade

• The updates list now refreshes immediately after any upgrade via the Apdatifier, without starting a new update check

• Shows the total execution time after a full system upgrade

• Added upgrade options in settings for Flatpak

• Self-upgrade Apdatifier which was disabled in the previous version, has been restored

• Improved output during the upgrade process

• Properly widget download link when multiple are available.
  The problem was that the latest file was being downloaded,
  but the sorting of files in the API is based on the file name
  rather than the order of upload. Now, the downloaded file is
  determined by its version tag. This means that if there are
  multiple files available for download for a widget, they need
  to be tagged with the correct version
  (Widget page on store.kde.org -> Files -> Version column).

• In addition to Arch Linux news, three KDE blogs have been added
