KDE Plasma 5.8 LTS was released late last year – October, but got updated in the Kubuntu backports PPA end of December 2016. This meant that Ubuntu 16.10 and Ubuntu 16.04 users could now upgrade their desktops to KDE Plasma 5.8.

The latest update to Plasma 5.8 series was Plasma 5.8.4. Lets have a quick look at some of the key updates in this release:

  • Many bug fixes for multi screen support such as:
    • Load screenpool at the same time as we connect to screenchanged signals
    • Avoid connecting to screen changed signals twice
  • Make screenshots visible when there’s only one screenshot too
  • Disable Qt’s high DPI scaling on shutdown/switch user dialogs
  • Add plasma-discover to mappings
  • Delay init of Wayland setup till next event cycle
  • Tear-down Wayland objects before app quits
  • Badges and progress display in task manager now works with more 3rd party applications
  • Fix Unity launcher count badge rendering when task is created
  • In addtion, the behavior of scrollable systray popups was also fixed
