Coming about a month after version 5.17.4, the KDE Plasma 5.17.5 point release is here to add a month’s worth of bug fixes and translation updates in an attempt to make the KDE Plasma 5.17 desktop environment more stable and reliable for everyone. According to the official changelog, it includes 32 changes. Highlights include a fix for a KDecoration crash in System Settings, revert of the “[sddm-theme] Fix initial focus after SDDM QQC2 Port” change from previous releases, a fix for a regression in “Port the pager applet away from QtWidgets,” and a fix for a regression in temperature size with short panels in the Weather applet.
