[digiKam-users] Gimp, Kimageformats, Digikam, sun is shining...

[Gilles Caulier]

Good news,

After 2 weeks of works, the pre-release 6.1.0 bundles are now reconstructed
from scratch with:

- All OpenCV options for CUDA, OPenMP, and OPenCL disabled to prevent
crashes
in face management.
- A large upgrade of Qt5 from 5.9.7 to 5.11.3.
- An upgrade to KF5 5.55. This want mean that i'm now able to update to
next KF5 5.56 planned in one week with the new XCF format support !
- An upgrade to Ffmpeg 3.3.9
- The fontconfig/freetype integration in the bundle to reduce system
dependencies

Files can be downloaded here :

Please test and report.
