KDE announced Frameworks 6.25 as the latest monthly update to its add-on libraries for Qt and KDE applications. This release maintains the regular monthly schedule and requires Qt 6.9. Here are the highlights.

In KIO, KDE’s file access and management framework, improvements include enhanced file preview handling, better WebDAV copy and move behavior, improved FTP UTF-8 negotiation after login, refined paste behavior when the clipboard is empty, and updated URL fallback handling in KUrlNavigator. KIO also benefits from numerous leak fixes and internal cleanups.

KGuiAddons also receives attention, with fixes for clipboard-related issues on Wayland. The updated code now waits up to one second for clipboard contents and correctly interrupts a thread if the client extension becomes inactive. KWindowSystem resolves a Wayland-side crash, and KWallet addresses intermittent Secret Service session key mismatches with libsecret.
