Plasma 5.22 is here, and it is more reliable and stable than ever. By
cleaning up and refactoring code in the background, the Plasma desktop
gives you greater responsiveness and performance, helping you become
even more productive without hiccups or surprises. Enjoy a smoother
experience with KDE’s Plasma 5.22 desktop.
Plasma 5.22 has become more pleasurable to use through improvements to
the design and greater smoothness and consistency in transparencies,
blurs, icons, and animations. Moving things to accessible locations,
offering hints and visual cues, and creating new settings allows you to
customize your work environment to make it fit perfectly to your needs.
Following the true KDE spirit, the push for a more stable and attractive
desktop does not mean you have to renounce control over how you want it
to look or behave. Plasma 5.22, as always, packs all the flexibility and
tools for customization you have come to expect and love, and some more
to boot.
Meanwhile, the push to move Plasma in its entirety to Wayland (the
display protocol of the future) continues in full swing. So much so that
popular distros are starting to ship Plasma with Wayland by default. By
using Wayland behind the scenes, Plasma is able to include features and
bug fixes not possible to implement on X11, offering you a better
experience and more stability.

Changelog:
* Fixed wrongly advertised version
* Fixed compatibility with older versions
* Fixed QTabWidget issue where tabs were stretched to full width/height
The cursor icon could get stuck on the "resize" icon when moving over

The april bugfix release for KDE Plasma is here. This wasn't
done immediately for the 5.21.3 ports commit that I landed
yesterday because I wasn't paying attention to latest
releases. Release notes are at
https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/5/5.21.4/
This updates the KDE Plasma parts to release 5.21.3. There is one
new port, plasma5-systemmonitor, which is the upcoming replacement
for KDE sysguard. It is not installed by default.

https://kde.org/announcements/plasma/5/5.21.3/
Previous commits tidying up DOCS options left some non-
applications consumers without the necessary kdoctools
dependency, so (re)introduce that now.
These files should not have been checked in with the permissions in the
submitted patch. I did not catch this problem because I used git apply
and git diff to integrate the changes and didn't see where the mode
changes in the diff.
