Kirigami Addons 0.8.0

My second release of the day: Kirigami Addons 0.8.0. This release contains a few new components.

AbstractMaximizeComponent

This is part of the org.kde.kirigamiaddons.labs.components module and is a popup that covers the entire window to show some items. This is already used in NeoChat and Tokodon to magnify image and videos.

Thanks James Graham for developing the initial version and upstreaming it to Kirigami-addons.

Convergent SpinBox

Another new component is the convergent SpinBox from the org.kde.kirigamiaddons.labs.mobileform module.

This is just a normal spinbox on desktop.

But on Plasma Mobile/Android the touch target becomes bigger.
