I don't found the time to finalize yet the install<br> relocation support in bash script. Package is not published on MacOS<br> store.<br> - MXE Windows installer : not signed, not published on Windows store.<br> Do not support KIO extension.<br><br> But we have a new one starting to work and i working on : FlatPak<br><br> This one is signed, published of official repository automatically<br> (you can install it on Discover application for ex). It support ICU<br> and KIO too... FlatPak is compiled on KDE infrastructure nightly and<br> automatically. Only a 64 bits version is supported.<br><br> This want mean that AppImage end of life is near. We will still<br> publish officially the AppImage until 7.0.0, but later, if FlatPak do<br> the job as well, AppImage will be dropped...<br><br> For Windows, all the digiKam code compile fine under Microsoft Visual<br> C++ compiler. This is the goal to obtain a signed and published<br> version on Microsoft store. You can imagine that Microsoft will only<br> support the official Windows compiler, and not GCC to permit to sign<br> and publish application on the store. Don't forget, Microsoft is well<br> Closed Source (:=))))<br><br> Microsoft compiler is just the hell. It slow and require a Windows<br> operating system. The current cross compilation solution that we use<br> work fully under Linux, and compilation time are reduced by 4/5 ! A<br> full Linux Workflow is a non virus guaranty !<br><br> The Visual C++ workflow is also only available on 64 bits and is<br> computed on KDE infrastructure, but the installer compilation is<br> broken due to a weird configuration on KDE infrastructure.
