A month after the previous 6.19 release, KDE announced the launch of Frameworks 6.20, expanding its collection of add-on libraries to Qt and enhancing functionality available to developers across various platforms.

Several foundational components receive significant updates in this release. Baloo, KDE’s file indexing subsystem, improves reliability during session management, updates its test infrastructure, and now avoids indexing excessively large mbox files. It also ensures configuration changes in balooctl are written before indexing is toggled, addressing long-standing user-reported issues.
