KDE Frameworks 6.32 is out, Phoronix reports, and the change I noticed is almost funny in how long it took. For about 15 years, the “finished copying” notification on a USB stick could fire when the data had only landed in the local cache, not when it was actually written out to the drive. 6.32 fixes that by using the sync_file_range system call. The release also includes a pile of Baloo, KArchive, Kirigami and syntax-highlighting fixes.
Review before you install: read the release notes yourself, back up your config, and try new versions somewhere you can afford to break first.
My take
Anyone who has ever yanked a flash drive after the little popup said “done,” then found a truncated file later, already knew this bug in their bones. A monthly frameworks update isn’t glamorous, but this one earns its keep. If you run a KDE desktop, this is a good week to pick up 6.32.
God Bless, and Happy hacking!
