KDE Frameworks 5.85 is a monthly update that mostly brings improvements to existing features. For example, it adds the missing network and hibernation-related icons to the Breeze icon theme when it’s being used under the Xfce desktop environment, improves support for recursive changes to directory ownership and permissions to always work, and slightly reduces the usage of system resources for all QtQuick-based KDE desktop apps.

This release also makes the reading of global configuration files much faster, which translates to faster startup times for most KDE apps, re-implements automatic generation of thumbnails for items on the desktop introduces UDisks2 support to make various features in KDE apps that use the Solid library to work on OpenBSD systems, and improves HiDPI support on X11 when using the default KDE Plasma scaling system.
