[digiKam-users] 8.0.0 pre-release bundles...

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi all,

I started to publish the 8.0.0 pre-release bundles in files.kde.org.
It use the same way than stable 7.x (currently 7.9.0).

To be more precise stable 7.x pre-release are here :

https://files.kde.org/digikam/

...and unstable 8.0.0 pre-release will be stored in "unstable" sub directory.

https://files.kde.org/digikam/unstable/

The unstable versions are compiled with master code (7.x with
qt5-maintenance git branch).

The unstable will be also compiled with Qt5, as it misses some piece
of software not yet ported to Qt6, as Marble for ex. digiKam can be
compiled with Qt6, but some features will be missing.

The first one to be published will be the Windows version
cross-compiled with MXE under Linux. MacOS and Linux AppImage will
come soon.

As the name said, 8.0.0 is unstable and can include important bugs. So
please do not use yet in production, and manage small test
collections. On the other hand, 7.9.0 is stable and includes only bug
fixes, not new features.

Voilà

Best regards

Gilles Caulier
