This Week in Plasma brings launch menu customizations, better screen recordings, and improvements to Plasma's calculator.

We have simplified KMenuEdit allowing you to customize your launch menu with ease, improved the quality of full-screen recordings with Spectacle, set the "Dim Screen for Administrator Mode" to be switched on by default, and enhanced the accessibility and keyboard navigation of Plasma's Calculator.

You can look forward to a smarter face management tool, an improved auto-tagging system that identifies elements in your images, fully automatic red-eye removal, and a new image quality feature that classifies images according to their aesthetic quality.

This week #Plasma has received quite a lot of fixes,

like you can now remove the titlebar and frame from a window directly from the Task Manager, the digital clock gets a nicer-looking font picker dialog, and we have simplified the info shown on Display Configuration, among many other improvements and changes.
