Most applications are available on all platforms supported by the KDE Development. KDE also brings to the forefront many innovations for application developers. An entire infrastructure has been designed and implemented to help programmers create robust and comprehensive applications in the most efficient manner, eliminating the complexity and tediousness of creating highly functional applications.
Release Notes: This release adds many new features, improved stability, and increased performance. Highlights for Plasma Workspaces include window manager optimizations, a redesign of power management, and integration with Activities.
