As for the new features, the KDE Plasma team plans to further improve the Breeze icon theme and create a Mozilla Firefox theme for it, bring back KDE Plasma 4’s beloved global menu feature, better support for customizing locales, and numerous new Wayland features, such as support for scaling the contents of each output individually. There will be so many Wayland enhancements that you won’t be able to handle, including better virtual desktops and multi-screen rendering improvements. Other then that, the Plasma Mobile experience will see further stabilization and new features, and improvements to the integration of online services.
