How to know the KDE Plasma version number at this moment? Main menu of most window, Help -> about KDE is:

KDE is a world-wide community of software engineers, artists, writers, translators and creators who are committed to Free Software development. KDE produces the Plasma desktop environment, hundreds of applications, and the many software libraries that support them.

KDE is a cooperative enterprise: no single entity controls its direction or products. Instead, we work together to achieve the common goal of building the world's finest Free Software. Everyone is welcome to join and contribute to KDE, including you.

Visit https://www.kde.org/ for more information about the KDE community and the software we produce.

not informing us such.

Thanks before.

Well, KDE is the community, after all so this is accurate
Also, these applications can run without Plasma, so showing this version may not really be useful on an application-level basis, I imagine.
Just guessing here, to be sure.

FWIW: the current Plasma version is visible in KHelpCenter, or by asking

Code: Select all

plasmashell --version

in a Konsole

Hi,
I've spent the last 30 minutes trying to find out the answer to this simple question.
Why this little info is not included in the Help/about kde I do not know.
Why people have to chnage/ignore long-held traditions is beyond me. A complete nuisance.
Thank you Mamarok. However, can you tell the kids behind developing this thing to stop messing about, please?

Well, I don't know where you have been looking for this information as every «About [program]» has a Version itself and displays the Libraries in the tab named «Libraries» it uses.
The desktop itself has the kinfocenter (if installed) which can be called using `kcmshell5 about-distro` or by typing «inf cen» in your KRunner which depends on your distribution.

The KDE Community are people, so they won't have a number as humans currently aren't updatable. Wait for Elon Musk to change this Perhaps the KDE Community can add all registered user birthdays as unix timestamps once a month and use this as version number for it
