More or less, the point is essentially that 6.8.1 isn’t a major update, only a minor one that includes some new features besides the bugfixes. And eventually some decade old improvements / suggestions from the community. > [@MichelN](#): > > Did you not get it ? already installed here. @MichelN No, I did not. It’s referring to the fact that for each version bump there is a new independent thread within the forum. And there are some users that don’t use Plasma at all (anymore), including me. ---

I’ve noticed few minor differences. ~~I’ll create a new post about it later.~~ Edit: Apart from few minor changes, the obvious one is the top and bottom margin / padding on the grid. Since this is still at a beta stage, they might update it. Overall I like it especially when switching color scheme (day / night). ---
