KDE developers are continuing their work on Plasma 6.8, while also releasing a corrective update, Plasma 6.7.2, this week.
One of the changes being prepared for Plasma 6.8 will be the KWin compositor dropping support for classic (desktop) OpenGL. This decision reflects the project's overall push toward simplifying and modernizing KWin's graphics stack.
In addition to working on the new features of the upcoming version, the KDE team is also continuing to prepare fixes for subsequent corrective releases in the Plasma 6.7 branch.
Specific release dates for Plasma 6.8 have not yet been specified, and the full list of changes will likely expand as the release draws closer.
