## Kirigami Addons

In Kirigami Addons, there is now a Date and Time picker which can be used in 
Merkuro, Itinerary and other Kirigami applications.

## Merkuro

Merkuro was ported to Qt6 and most regressions caused by the port are also 
fixed. We also ported all the list delegates of Merkuro to the new 
RoundedItemDelegate component. Similarly our MobileForm usage was ported to 
FormCard and we are now using the KirigamiAddons.Settings for the setting 
dialog.

### Merkur Calendar

Most of the focus, in the last two months was fixing issues in the calendar 
module. Carl fixed a off by one error in the calendar view when the local 
timezone is located West of the UTC timezone (e.g. in the US or in South 
America). He also fixed a bug where Merkuro would crash on start depending on 
the locale.

### Merkuro Contact

Merkuro Contact has a redesigned contact page. 

Carl added support to edit the birthday and anniversary date, thanks to the 
new component of Kirigami Addons.

### Merkuro Mail

Claudio worked on the email account settings and Merkuro now let's you edit 
your Identity settings including the crypto settings. Aakarsh then added 
support to edit the incoming accounts settings (IMAP, POP3 and Exchange).

Aakarsh also added support to open .mbox and .eml files directly with Merkuro 
Mail and added a context menu to manage the email folders in the sidebar.

## MimeTreeParser

Carl added support for protected headers (both the current version and the 
legacy version).

Aside from that, MimeTreeParser is now almost fully unit tested and should 
handle a lot more edge cases when parsing encrypted and unencrypted emails.
