Notifications:
Can now close notification popups with middle click on the popup
Cleaned up the wording of some PowerDevil notifications
Worked on a KDED module that monitors UDev for any (un)plugged USB
devices to play a sound, similar to other popuplar desktop
environments
Independent of Solid or storage devices, also trips for e.g.
USB headset, mouse, etc
Quite noticeable for external HDDs where it takes a while for
it to spin up before device notifier shows up
Will get an RFC MR up sometime this week
KWin:
Generate blur noise texture on-demand, saves some startup time and
resources when there are no blurred windows
Some cleanup
Solid:
Trim output from (u)mount in fstab backend, please review:

Other:
Found that JavaScript is text/javascript again instead of
application/javascript.
Added a Breeze icon for that. Shouldn't really have any
significant impact otherwise as the old one is still an alias.

put the last nail on the "virtual keyboard on Xwayland is
impossible", thanks to Arjen and I now it's just almost convenient
added support of locale1 so that SDDM can switch keyboard layouts.
Worked on the SDDM counter-part as well, so it's usable
merged the tablet buttons MR
Published Plasma Wayland Protocols 1.8.0
Discover
Looked into certain problems regarding Flatpak Bundles which are
now addressed and working beautifully

[DavidE]: do you know what the situation is with the regression in
5.25.5 in widget explorer
you mentioned that we had something regress in stable
[Nico]: Yes, something seems to have broken between 5.25.4 and .5
I don't know what change broke it
There's a patch that fixes it, I asked distros to backport it
Perhaps we should do a 5.25.5.1?

* KF6: the QSB port of plasma-frameworks still needs review :)
* Help on PC2 components without replacement would still be
appreciated, e.g. PC2.ModelContextMenu
Nate
* Mostly I have an urging for folks to work on Plasma regressions over
the next few weeks so we can get Plasma 5.26 polished up nice and good
* Here's the giant list:

# KWin
* more autotests for tiling
* scripting bindings and a test script that gives more of a
traditional tiling wm behavior
* attempt to use the tilemanager for maximized windows as well (this
will also allow for things like maximizing on a particular screen
portion on ultrawides) however kinda failed and scrapped/postponed
* Merged crossfade \o/
## Bugs
* Decoration shade button doesn't disappear anymore at going in/out of
fullscreen
* Plasma dialog doesn't lose the shadow at fading out
* Fix dragging from empty areas when qwidgets and qquickwidgets are
mixed in the same window
* fix crossfade of tooltips on wayland (which is Dialog fault again)
