KWayland Now Part Of KDE Frameworks

Written by Michael Larabel in KDE on 17 May 2016 at 08:19 AM EDT. 8 Comments

KDE Frameworks 5.22 was released this week and with this frameworks update comes the addition of KWayland.

KWayland up to now was distributed with Plasma but with KDE Frameworks 5.22 has moved on so it can also be used by other frameworks. Adding it to KDE Frameworks also makes it relevant to anyone working with the Qt toolkit on Wayland, although it's not a replacement for QtWayland.

More details on KWayland joining the KDE Frameworks party can be found via this blog post. More details on the fresh Frameworks 5.22 release via KDE.org. This update also has many changes to the Plasma Framework, KTextEditor, KIO, KFileMetaData, and more.
