    Time has a way of creeping up, and the Plasma 6 alpha release is in two days. People are scrambling to get their features in before either the soft feature freeze (on Monday) or the hard one (a few weeks later). So this has been a week of big changes! Starting on Monday, well officially start the process of convergence and shift focus to bug fixing and UI polishing, with the currentl [12:19] schestowitz y in-flight new features trickling in too.
