The KDE Plasma 6 development team has released the April bugfix release in the form of version 6.0.4. Amongst other things, it is now easier to use URLs via drag & drop, and bugs in the system monitor and battery applet have been fixed.

On 16th April KDE Plasma 6.0.4 was released, a bugfix update for the popular desktop environment for Linux and BSD systems. According to the KDE development team, a total of three weeks of work went into the small update, which bumps the version number from 6.0.3 to 6.0.4. It mainly contains bug fixes and new translations.

The release announcement for KDE Plasma 6.0.4 lists three notable bug fixes: Firstly, URLs are now correctly exported to the desktop portal when dragging and dropping. Secondly, the system monitor is now easier to use, as there is now a larger column configuration dialogue on the overview page. In addition, the Plasma 6 battery applet now correctly checks the battery charge status.

The 6.0.4 update of the Linux desktop environment KDE Plasma also includes other bug fixes. For example, the KWin window manager in KDE Plasma has received a number of bug fixes for the Wayland display server protocol. The Discover software store has received bug fixes for the use of Flatpaks, and bugs in KPipeWire and the Plasma NetworkManager have also been fixed.

An overview of all fixed bugs in KDE Plasma 6.0.4 can be found in the detailed changelog for this update. As usual, the update will be released first for rolling release Linux distributions such as Arch Linux or openSUSE Tumbleweed, with stable Linux distributions following at a later date.
