The bug-fixing continued this week with the aim of getting Plasma 6.0.3 into a great state. Already the big bugs you folks found have almost all been fixed, and this week a lot of time was spent on some X11 regressions and various crashes that our new automatic crash reporting system was able to find (thanks for submitting those! It really does help). A number of automated tests were also added, and finally some nice UI improvements to round things out. More exciting work is in progress too, but not quite ready to mention here!
Nice to see some effort in fixing some of the X11 regressions. I’m not able to make the jump to Wayland just yet.

Wayland is still unusable for me. Was happily running Wayland in 5.27 But have encountered nothing but issues in 6.0, main one being performing any sort of action with animations, scrolling, opening notifications etc causes the desktop frame rate to pummet, sometimes even hitting zero. All AMD build as well. I’ll keep checking back to see if it’s fixed but I’m too new to Linux to do any real sleuthing. X11 has been working fine in the meantime.

Yes, spend a lot of time troubleshooting something that should already been stable

Bugs are fine, but we are not beta testers. It clearly wasn’t ready for the stable version

There’s a huge difference in something used by 100s or 1000s of people. Once something is used significantly more it’ll result in bugs that nobody ever noticed before.
Further, the best way to keep things stable is regular timed releases. You seem to be advocating for releasing irregularly. Projects used to do that in the past. Regular releases result in way more stable software.
Still waiting to even be able to open Discover in Neon. Once that issue is fixed, all my issues with it will finally be covered!
Just updated to Plasma 6 and, finally! Wayland is finally not a slideshow on my laptop!
