It's KDE Plasma 5.3 day!

The KDE community has announced the release today of KDE Plasma 5.3. KDE Plasma 5.3 brings new power management abilities, better Bluetooth support and a new Bluetooth applet, improved Plasma widgets, the Plasma Media Center being a tech preview feature, behind-the-scenes work on supporting Wayland, new desktop tweaks, and many bug-fixes. KDE Plasma 5.3 has been looking great since its beta release earlier this month.

For those wishing to try out KDE Plasma 5.3, the KDE Linux live ISO image has been re-spun with the latest packages. You can find out more or download the packages via the announcement over at KDE.org.
