Coming only three weeks after the previous release, KDE Plasma 5.17.4 is here as yet another maintenance update that addresses a bunch of issues or adds minor changes to improve the overall KDE Plasma experience for users who updated to the latest KDE Plasma 5.17 desktop environment series. Highlights of KDE Plasma 5.17.4 include better compilation support with Qt 5.14, removal of deprecated API in KWindowSystem, fix for broken multimedia control on lock screen, the ability for the Folder view to use the selected text color for selected items in full representation, improved default layout for Workspace KCM, and new DesktopEntry for notifyrc.
