In addition to this, we can also find in Elisa that added an option to disable music collection scanning at startup (Instead, a button is provided to start scanning manually when needed.) Added way to sort builds by modification time (for example, to show recently added builds). The root directory is now set as the base directory in file browsing mode, making it easier to refer to files that are not in the home directory.

The menu has been regrouped and a new "Selection" section has been added with actions on the selected blocks

text editorso Kate and KWrite have the ability to display multiple independent cursors and simultaneously enter text or code in different parts of the document.

Kalendar offers the possibility to work with the address book, In addition, the user can now attach an address book to the calendar and access its content from a widget placed on the panel or on the desktop. Added support for generating QR codes to transfer contact information to a mobile device. The interface for viewing the calendar has been improved and navigation through tasks has been modernized: the ability to view nested and top-level tasks has appeared in the sidebar.

The itinerary travel assistant KDE has been enhanced to help you get to your destination using data from various sources and giving you the related information you need on the road (traffic schedules, station and stop locations, hotel information, weather forecast, current events). A built-in barcode scanner has been implemented, with which you can quickly import information about tickets and discount cards, also added the ability to import information about bus trips or train from online services, as well as import information about trips to events from the calendar planner and the ability to determine alternative routes for individual segments of the trip was provided.
