We are pleased to announce that the 1st bugfix release of Plasma 5.15, 5.15.1, is now available in our backports PPA for Cosmic 18.10.<\/p>\n

The release announcement detailing the new features and improvements in Plasma 5.15 can be found here<\/a>, while the full 5.15.1 bugfix changelog can be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Released along with this new version of Plasma is an update to KDE Frameworks 5.54<\/a>. (5.55 is currently in testing in Disco 19.04 and may follow in the next few weeks.)<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

To upgrade: <\/strong><\/p>\n

Add the following repository to your software sources list:<\/p>\n

ppa:kubuntu-ppa\/backports<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

or if it is already added, the updates should become available via your preferred update method.<\/p>\n

The PPA can be added manually in the Konsole terminal with the command:<\/p>\n

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:kubuntu-ppa\/backports<\/em><\/p>\n

and packages then updated with<\/p>\n

sudo apt update<\/em>
\nsudo apt full-upgrade<\/em><\/p>\n

IMPORTANT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Please note that more bugfix releases are scheduled by KDE for Plasma 5.15, so while we feel these backports will be beneficial to enthusiastic adopters, users wanting to use a Plasma release with more stabilisation\/bugfixes ‘baked in’ may find it advisable to stay with Plasma 5.13.5 as included in the original 18.10 Cosmic release. <\/em><\/p>\n

Should any issues occur, please provide feedback on our mailing list [1], IRC [2], and\/or file a bug against our PPA packages [3].<\/p>\n
