Usually, when a new version of KDE Plasma is on the horizon, its developers stop making new features and start fixing bugs. Polishing existing features instead of adding new ones is a great way to keep the final product from becoming a buggy mess. Now, with just over two weeks remaining until KDE Plasma 6.8 launches, developers have snuck in a few more features before the submission door closes.
