- Plasma can now shutdown faster by no longer accepting new connections after starting the shutdown process.

- KWin's "cover switch" and "flip switch" effects have been restored after being rewritten in QML.

- The Bluetooth applet can now report a phone as a "phone" where as previously would list its capabilities instead like "send file, network."

- A wide variety of other fixes and enhancements.
