Kubuntu 26.04 weekly update

We are on the final stretch toward the 26.04 release on April 23rd, and this week brought a satisfying round of long-standing annoyances getting squashed. A huge thank you to everyone who tested, patched, and shipped.

Thank you to our contributors

Thank you to Erich of Ubuntu Studio for addressing our spammy notifications issue and for his do-release-upgrade work — both very much appreciated.

Thank you to KFocus for the shiny new theme update and accompanying fixes.

Thank you to Rik — for everything, and for uploading the Plasma 6.6.4 bug fix release.

Come help us test

As we close in on release, testers are very welcome. Come join the conversation:

In my not-so-spare time, I am also working on 26.04 beta snaps for KDE Applications — testers welcome there too.
