It’s been a month since the last update, and Plasma Mobile got a lot of cool new features during this time. The first thing you’ll notice is probably the virtual keyboard, which is now based on the 2nd generation Maliit keyboard rather than QtVirtualKeyboard and better supports Wayland. The second thing you’ll probably notice the next time you install Plasma Mobile on your Linux phone or tablet is the new lock screen, which has been rewritten and features shorter time and date text, a new tablet layout, a new keypad with blur in the background, basic notifications, and new placement for the indicator panel to the top.
