Kirigami Addons 1.5
Kirigami Addons is out. This releases contains mostly code cleanup and minor improvements. There is netherless a few relevant changes. Thanks to everyone who contributed some code.
New KAppTemplate’s template
A new KAppTemplate is available as a good starting point for application that manage multimedia libraries. It is based on shared design of Peruse, Arianna and the WIP Calligra Launcher.
Hopefully it helps people who want to develop game launchers and other type of specialized multimedia applications.
More templates are planned (e.g. for chat applications), so stay tunned!
FormCard
FormCard is the part of Kirigami Addons that received the most changes in this release. First of all, FormCard now use more consistent spacing and padding, which slighly less horizontal padding. Descriptions for radio and checkbox delegates are also put underneath the delegate’s main text and checkbox, in an effort to make FormCard a bit more compact.
Additionally FormComboBoxDelegate now lets you display an inline status
similar to that is available in other FormCard’s delegates.
Finally FormCard.AboutKDE was renamed to FormCard.AboutKDEPage. This improve
the naming consistency with other page compoenents. A compatibility wrapper on
top of AboutKDEPage named AboutKDE is still available to not break any
existing applications.
Deprecations
The Banner component is now deprecated. Kirigami.InlineMessage now has a
position parameter which can be set to Header or Footer. Additionally
with KDE Frameworks 6.8 Kirigami.InlineMessage will look exactly the same as
Banner! So there is no more reasons for this component to exists
in Kirigami Addons.
Other
Kirigami Addons supports static builds with a recent enough version of extra-cmake-modules.
