KDE developer Nate Graham, who has made many contributions to KDE in recent years and is well known for his weekly summaries of KDE development, published a 2021 roadmap for the year.
Based on being intrinsically involved with all things KDE, Nate published a script for New Year’s Day, examining the likely achievements for the desktop environment this year.
Among the items in the 2021 roadmap are the delivery of a “production-ready” Plasma Wayland session, the proper handling of fingerprint support across the KDE stack, the completion of the work of the Breeze Evolution icon, the creation of a replacement for the Kickoff app launcher and support for text remaining in the Konsole terminal emulator when it is being resized.
Nate’s 2021 predictions / roadmap for KDE can be found on his blog.
In his roadmap for last year were items such as improved discovery of Samba sharing within the Dolphin file manager, automatic rotation for tablets, better wallpapers, X11 scale factors per screen and other items addressed mainly during the calendar year.
