KDE Plasma 6 是备受期待的桌面环境版本升级版本。


最近，其发布时间表公布，第一个 Alpha 版本将于 **2023 年 11 月 8 日**上线，最终 **Beta 版本于 2023 年 1 月 31 日**上线，稳定版计划于 **2024 年 2 月 28 日**上线。


考虑到 KDE Plasma 5.x 系列包含多项改进和功能添加，许多用户对 KDE Plasma 6 带来的功能感到期待。


如果你好奇，我们已经介绍了 [KDE Plasma 6 的主要变化](/article-15821-1.html)。因此，它会发生重大变化也就不足为奇了。


然而，在进行重大修改后，可能会出现一些破坏体验的改动，例如无法在 Plasma 6 上运行任何旧版小部件。


### 给小部件开发者的移植通知


在 KDE 的 *Nate Graham* 最近发表的一篇 [博客文章](https://pointieststick.com/2023/10/24/its-time-to-port-your-widgets-to-plasma-6/) 中，向 Plasma 5 小部件作者发出了正式的警告。


其重点指出的信息是：



> 
> **你需要将你的小部件移植到更新的 API，以使它们与 Plasma 6 兼容！**
> 
> 
> 


Plasma 小部件 API 已随着即将发布的版本进行了修改。而且，为了适应这种变化并保持运行，小部件开发人员必须将他们的创作移植到更新的 API。


如果开发人员不移植小部件以使用更新的 API，它将无法在 KDE Plasma 6 中运行。


当然，流行的小部件开发人员很可能会进行移植。但是，如果你使用的小部件虽然还能使用，但没有积极维护，那么你将不得不在 KDE Plasma 6 中放弃它。


他们已提供了一份 [移植指南](https://develop.kde.org/docs/plasma/widget/porting_kf6/) 供开发人员遵循。


你可以在 “[Plasma 6 扩展](https://store.kde.org/browse?cat=705&ord=latest)” 下找到与 Plasma 6 兼容的小部件。在撰写本文时，只能看到列出了两个第三方小部件。

因此，当你喜欢的小部件被移植到 KDE Plasma 6 并由相关开发者上传后，你就会发现它们的踪迹。


? 你期待移植哪些 KDE 小部件？ 你认为你会错过某些不再维护的小部件吗？在下面的评论中分享你的想法。

KDE Plasma 6 is a highly anticipated upgrade among desktop environment releases.

Recently, its release schedule was revealed with the first Alpha version going live on **8th November 2023**, final **Beta on 31st January 2024**, and the stable planned for **February 28, 2024**.

Considering KDE Plasma 5.x series included several refinements and feature additions, many users are excited about what KDE Plasma 6 brings to the table.

If you are curious, we already covered the [major changes coming to KDE Plasma 6](https://news.itsfoss.com/kde-plasma-6-dev/). Hence, it is not a surprise that it will come baked in big changes.

However, with significant overhauls, there can be some experience breaking changes, such as not having any older widgets run on Plasma 6.

## Porting Notice to Widget Developers

In a recent [blog post](https://pointieststick.com/2023/10/24/its-time-to-port-your-widgets-to-plasma-6/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) by *Nate Graham* from KDE, a formal heads-up was given to Plasma 5 widget authors.

The highlighted information being:

You will need to port your widgets to newer APIs to make them compatible with Plasma 6!

The Plasma widget API has been modified with the upcoming release. And, to adapt to this change and keep things running, the widget developers have to port their creations to newer APIs.

If a developer does not port the widget to use newer APIs, it will not run with KDE Plasma 6.

Of course, popular widget developers would most likely do the port. But, if you were using a widget that does the job—but not actively maintained, you will have to let go of it with KDE Plasma 6.

A [porting guide](https://develop.kde.org/docs/plasma/widget/porting_kf6/?ref=news.itsfoss.com) has been made available for the developers to follow.

You can find the Plasma 6 compatible widgets under "[Plasma 6 Extensions](https://store.kde.org/browse?cat=705&ord=latest&ref=news.itsfoss.com)" category. At the time of writing this, only two third-party widgets can be seen listed.

So, you will find all your favorite widgets when they are ported and uploaded by the respective developers for KDE Plasma 6.
