+=== 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.
+
+
+==== It Goes to 6!
+
+The KDE ports have caught up with the current generation of upstream development and now deliver up-to-date KDE Frameworks 6, KDE Plasma 6, and KDE Gear.
+Where possible, the default version of every KDE application has been updated to a recent one that uses KDE Frameworks 6.
+Many Qt-based applications have also been updated to default to a Qt6 flavor.
+
+This positions FreeBSD alongside OpenBSD and Linux distributions with a modern KDE experience.
+
+Qt5 remains in the ports tree.
+KDE Frameworks 5 remain in the ports tree for some consumers.
+Qt5 reaches end-of-life from its upstream on May 26, 2025, so it is not recommended for use.
+KDE Frameworks 5 is in a similar security-only maintenance mode.
+
+Thanks to makc@, arrowd@, and kenrap@ for landing this KDE update in ports.
+
+==== Infrastructure
+
+* CMake received several patch-level updates
+* Qt and PySide (the Python bindings for Qt) were updated to 6.8.2
