Hi Nico,

could you please do a KIO 6.22.1 release with this patch?

    https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/merge_requests/2119 

Fixes some virtual methods of KDirOperator being invisible to those consumers 
which have disabled the visibility of any KIO API declarations deprecated for 
KF 6.15 (e.g. Gear 25.12 apps like Kate, KMail, KOrganizer, ...), resulting in 
ABI issues with potentially wrong methods being called.

Once released, distributions need to rebuild (best simply all) the consumers 
to ensure they all use the correct KDirOperator virtual methods table.

Not sure if also all consumers should be asked to lower the hidden deprecated 
API level to 6.14 again, until they require at least 6.22.1. But then we only 
actually support the latest KF version, so anyone sticking to an older KF 
version (here 6.15-6.21) would need to invest into this themselves IMHO, so 
leaving that discussion/effort to those.

Cheers
Friedrich
