Additionally, when you open a file in a KDE application that was downloaded from a browser, you can regain access to the file site.
Okular Document Viewer also has, like, the KDE Connect app that lets you manage alerts by smartphone Android. The KDE Connect app can now better handle more notifications without any downtime.

This version also adds support for KDE applications to remember the minimized or maximized window state when closed and reopened, adds the ability to edit the .desktop file without "freezing" the Plasma desktop session.
