Minimize All

This release restores the Minimize All functionality as a hot corner trigger (instead of the default “Show Desktop”).
Touching the lower right corner once with your mouse cursor minimizes all windows, while doing it right again brings them all up in the previous order.
If you continue with something else after minimizing, they will STAY minimized and not move up and in your way again.

Plymouth KCM

We now ship the Plymouth kcm in the system settings, which allows easy installation and switching of Plymouth startup themes.

Updated Repositories

Started with the previous Maui release, we continued to update our repository S3 infrastructure.
Our goal is to provide a very stable user experience with the option to have ongoing updates of KDE software.
Therefore we are providing part-rolling releases of KDE Neon packages, allowing us to test new updates to Maui’s base thouroughly, while allowing everyone to decide for themselves if or when they want to update to a newer available Plasma or KDE Frameworks 5 version.
