Konversation 1.6 released

[Eike Hein]

--- Description ---

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


--- Release Notes ---

Konversation is the first stable release of Konversation built on the 
new KDE Frameworks 5 and Qt 5 library sets, improving integration into 
many desktop environments, including Plasma Desktop 5, and adding first 
support for hi-dpi scaling. In addition to porting and reworking things 
for hi-dpi scaling, a number of behavior improvements and bug fixes were 
implemented, particularly improved nickname selection behavior at 
connection time and better layout behavior for the channel topic area.

Unfortunately the 1.6 release removes support for integrating with the 
KDE Address Book, as the interfaces Konversation was using to achieve 
this were dropped from KDE Frameworks. A replacement is in the works in 
the form of the new KPeople library, which we intend to use in a future 
release. Using KPeople, Konversation will then be able to tightly 
integrate with various contact management-related features in Plasma 
Desktop.
