Thanks to all users who give feedback! Special thanks to Debian QT/KDE team as well for Upstream QT/KDE developers, Nice, I see KDE/Plasma version 6.2.3 now in unstable. Maybe you can give an information about versions of KDE/Frameworks and KDE/Gear (KDE/Apps)? Or even QT6 version. What are the plans and ambitions for upcoming Debian/trixie aka Debian-13 release? Especially asking QT5/QT6 and KF5/KF6 compatibility. The only QT5/KF5 based package I really won't miss is quassel IRC-client. Will this still be available or a candidate to be removed? Can you clarify this? I checked my upgrade-logs and it was 21-July-2024 when I first installed plasma-desktop 6.1.0 and with a selfmade kontrast 24.08.3 package I have now all (installed) KDE/apps with version 24.08.x (x=0,1,2,3). Nice - really nice. Thanks again! Best regards, -Sedat- Link: https://kde.org/de/announcements/
