  • user interaction, rendering and stability fixes in Plasma, the KDE desktop shell;
  • PDF backend fixes in the document viewer Okular;
  • fixes in Gwenview, the image viewer's thumbnailing, more robust retrieval and display of images with broken metadata;
  • stability and interaction fixes in KMail.
