[digiKam-users] First 8.0.0 alpha version of digiKam AppImage bundle for Linux.

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi all,

for information, I upgraded the AppImage Qt5 bundle VM with the latest
Qt 5.15.5 and KF 5.96.

DK 7.8.0 is under process and will be uploaded in one hour.
DK 8.0.0 will follow for testing purposes and to compare with the Qt6 version.
