KDE Plasma 6.8 gets final features weeks before October 14 release

With just over two weeks until launch, KDE Plasma 6.8 developers added last-minute quality-of-life tweaks: better click feedback in the system tray, clearer focused tabs, a lock-screen keyboard layout shortcut, and password-eye tooltips. Larger features like currency conversion in KRunner and relaxed weather searches were deferred to Plasma 6.9.

• KDE Plasma 6.8 is scheduled for release on October 14
• System tray icons get improved click feedback
• Lock screen now supports switching to the last-used keyboard layout
• Currency conversion and weather search changes moved to Plasma 6.9
