+=== KDE on FreeBSD

+
+The KDE on FreeBSD project packages CMake, Qt, and software from the KDE Community, for the FreeBSD ports tree.
+The software includes a full desktop environment called KDE Plasma (for both X11 and Wayland) and hundreds of applications that can be used on any FreeBSD machine.
+The mailto:kde@FreeBSD.org[KDE team] is part of mailto:desktop@FreeBSD.org[desktop@], building the software stack to make FreeBSD beautiful and usable as a daily driver graphical desktop workstation.
+
+==== Infrastructure
+
+CMake was updated to 3.31.10.
+Ninja was updated to 1.13.2.
+
+Qt6, PyQt6, and PySide6 were updated to 6.10.1.
+
+Qt5 was updated to 5.15.18 KDE patch collection.
+Upstream standard support for Qt5 is officially over.
+This might be the last update for Qt5 on FreeBSD.
+
+==== KDE Stack
+
+KDE Frameworks, Plasma, and Gear release happen very regularly. mailto:kde@FreeBSD.org[KDE team] lands these updates shortly after their upstream release.
+
+* KDE Frameworks ports were updated to 6.21.0.
+* KDE Plasma Desktop was updated to 6.5.4.
+* KDE Gear was updated to 25.12.0.
+
+With KDE Gear 25.12.0 the last two applications have been finally ported to Qt6, and KDE Stack is liberated from Qt5 packages now.
+The package:x11/kde[] port has been reduced and does not install Plasma 6 integration plugins for Qt5 and GTK2 applications anymore.
+They are still available and can be installed via package:x11/plasma6-plasma[] port if required.
+
+Support for Plasma/Wayland has been improved.
+It can be used as a daily driver instead of Plasma/X11.
+
+==== Related Ports
+
+The mailto:kde@FreeBSD.org[KDE team] maintains nearly 730 ports and updates them all as needed.
+According to link:https://portscout.freebsd.org/kde@freebsd.org.html[Portscout] only 1% ports are outdated.
+
+The KDE team would like to thank mailto:arrowd@FreeBSD.org[Gleb Popov], mailto:jhale@FreebSD.org[Jason E. Hale], mailto:lbartoletti@FreeBSD.org[Loïc Bartoletti], and mailto:makc@FreeBSD.org[Max Brazhnikov] for keeping things up-to-date.
+The KDE team is grateful to Harley (SponiX on IRC) for sharing his building box.
