Coming almost three weeks after the KDE Plasma 5.13.3 release, the KDE Plasma 5.13.4 maintenance update continues to improve the stability and performance of the KDE Plasma 5.13 desktop environment by adding total of 48 changes and bug fixes across various components, including the Plasma Desktop, Plasma Discover, Plasma Workstation, KScreen, KWin, Plasma Add-ons, Info Center, Breeze Plymouth, and others. Highlights of the KDE Plasma 5.13.4 maintenance update include the ability to respect ghns KIOSK restriction in new KCMs (KDE Control Modules), support for the Plasma Discover graphical package manager to sort packages by release date, showing the newer ones first, and a patch for the font rendering functionality to no longer change when preview images are rendered.
