KPhotoAlbum 6.0.0 and KGeoTag 1.7.0 out now!

[Tobias Leupold]

Hi all,

I'm very pleased to announce two releases at once: KPhotoAlbum 6.0.0 and 
KGeoTag 1.7.0! Both don't contain new functionality, but the major change is 
that both have been ported to Qt6/KF6.

This addresses the upcoming Marble update: The 24.12.0 release coming in a few 
days will be the first official Qt6/KF6 one. For KPhotoAlbum, Marble is an 
optional dependency (albeit a very advisable one!), for KGeoTag, Marble is 
mandatory, as it wouldn't make too much sense without a map.

The problem is that Qt5/KF5 Marble can't be co-installed with the Qt6/KF6 
version. The last KPhotoAlbum and KGeoTag versions would block the Marble 
update, but without it, the new versions can't be built. So the solution to 
this chicken-and-egg problem is to update all three at once.

Please refer to the release announcements for further information (esp. the 
KGeoTag one, as KGeoTag 1.7.0 can both be linked against Qt5/KF5 and Qt6/KF6):

For KPhotoAlbum, it's:

and for KGeoTag, it's:

I wish you a nice Advent season :-)

Cheers, Tobias
