 </b>KDE proudly announces the release of KDE Platform 4.6. The foundation for the \
Plasma workspaces and the KDE applications has seen significant improvements in many \
areas. Besides the introduction of new technology, a lot of work has been spent on \
improving the performance and stability of the underlying pillars of the Platform.  \
                <ul>
-    <li>With the new release, the Plasma framework gained support for Plasma widgets \
written in QML. While existing widgets continue to function just as before, QML is \
                now the preferred way to write new widgets.</li>
-
-    <li>A <b>Plasma KPart</b> is now available, making it easy for developers to \
integrate plasma technologies inside their applications – there is already work on \
                using the Plasma framework in Kontact and Skrooge</li>
-    <li>Plasma data engines receive new features, including the ability to share \
items using a Javascript plugin and a storage service allowing data engines to have \
                an offline cache</li>
-    <li>Nepomuk, the semantic desktop technology of the KDE Platform, gained backup \
and synchronisation support to make transferring meta-data between devices easier. \
Users will be able to back up nepomuk information using a graphical interface. The \
synchronization features are currently only available from the command line. (More \
information at <a href="http://vhanda.in/blog/2010/11/nepomuk-backup/">http://vhanda.in/blog/2010/11/nepomuk-backup/</a> \
)</li> +    <li>Thanks to Solid's new UPower backends, the deprecated HAL is no \
longer needed to manage hardware. Applications do not need to be updated to make use \
of UPower. The HAL backend is still available for systems that do not support \
UPower.</li> +    <li>With the new release, the Plasma framework gains support for \

advanced users and distributors more power over the behavior of windows in a KDE \
Plasma workspace – for example it is possible to set a window as "keep above" until \
the window is maximized, treating it as a normal window that can be covered when \
maximized. When the window is un-maximized, automatically set it as "keep above" \
                again.</li>
-    <li>Oxygen, the visual component of the KDE Platform has also seen extensive \
work with a complete remake of all mimetype icons, the introduction of the Oxygen-GTK \
theme engine, enabling better integration of GTK apps into KDE Plasma Workspaces, \
                including gradients and many of the features users expect from \
                Oxygen.
