[digiKam-users] The future of 6.0.0 bundles and C++11 support...

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi all,

Done : https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=384807

Now ffmpeg 3.3.6 is integrated in Linux AppImage 64 bits for incoming 6.0.0
release.

The new beta AppImage 6.0.0 will be available soon at usual place.

Take a care to use it : it's really a beta, do not use yet in production
!!!!

Best
