Konversation 1.6-beta1 released

[Eike Hein]

--- Description ---

Konversation is a user-friendly Internet Relay Chat (IRC) client
built on the KDE Platform.


--- Release Notes ---

Konversation 1.6-beta1 is the first release of Konversation built on the 
new KDE Frameworks 5 and Qt 5 library sets, and intended to allow you to 
help us test and shake out the remaining issues in the ported code. With 
stability despite many changes under the hood as the primary goal, the 
1.6 release will not bring any new features, though Frameworks 5 and Qt 
5 offer a host of efficiency improvements over the old stack and will 
enable us to support hi-dpi scaling and Wayland going forward.

Known issues in this beta include a lack of addressbook integration 
support (the needed Frameworks dependencies have not yet been released), 
drag and drop support for tabs being disabled, and minor visual polish 
issues, including some visual assets not having been updated to match 
KDE's new "Breeze" visual identity yet. We expect to resolve these 
issues in upcoming releases.
