March/April KDE PIM summary blog post

[Volker Krause]

=== Calendaring ===

* Kalendar and KOrganizer now use the same unified reminder daemon, replacing 
the previous app-specific implementations.

=== KOrganizer ===

* Fix the the progress indicator in the todo tree view being rendered 
vertically.

=== Kalendar ===

* There's is an ongoing effort to refactor and move around commonly used 
calendaring code with the goal to reduce Kalendar's dependencies, and in 
particular any remaining widget-based UI code paths that aren't well suited 
for mobile use.

=== Itinerary ===

There's a dedicated post with status updates here: https://volkerkrause.eu/
2022/04/02/kde-itinerary-february-march-2022.html

In very recent news, we are unfortunately no longer able to publish updates in 
the Google Play store, due to KDE Itinerary being able to store health 
certificates. New rules by Google do not allow such a feature unless you are a 
government or public health entity. The only way around that would be building 
a separate version just for the Play store with that feature as well as any 
references to it in the application metadata removed. That's something our 
build and deployment pipeline doesn't support at this point though. KDE 
Itinerary in the Play store will be therefore be stuck at 21.12.3 for the 
foreseeable future, for continuing to receive updates we recommend [KDE's F-
Droid repositories](https://community.kde.org/Android/FDroid) instead.

=== KMail ===

* Fix travel information extraction for certain combinations of email and text 
codecs used in Asia.
