+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 3.31.12.

+Qt6 and PySide6 were updated to 6.11.1.
+PyQt6 was updated to 6.11.0.
+
+Qt5 and PySide2 were updated to 5.15.19 KDE patch collection.
+Upstream standard support for Qt5 is officially over.
+This is the final update for Qt5.
+
+==== 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.
+

+
+==== Sunsetting Qt5 ports
+
+Qt5 is still used by approximately 350 ports.
+Although Qt5 is deprecated there is no definite date for its removal from the ports tree yet.
+Still, the port for Qt5WebEngine which is based on very old Chromium with multiple vulnerabilities is scheduled for removal just before 2026Q4.
+KDE team encourages maintainers to migrate their ports to Qt6, remove Qt5 flavors, and remove abandoned Qt5 software.
