Kirigami Addons is a collection of supplementary components for Kirigami applications. Version 1.8.0 is a relatively minor release, introducing two new form delegates along with various quality-of-life enhancements.
New Features
I added two new form delegates: FormLinkDelegate (!343) and FormIconDelegate (!355).
The first one is similar to FormButtonDelegate, but it’s used to display an external link. It’s already used on the About page:
The second one was upstreamed from Marknote and allows the user to pick an icon and display the selected icon.
I also added a password quality checker to FormPasswordFieldDelegate (!345). This is particularly useful when asking users to create an account:
Visual Changes
Kai Uwe Broulik improved avatar rendering. Initials are now always displayed consistently even on small screen (!363).
Kai also fixed an issue on mobile where library information on the About page was being ellipsized (!356).
Balló György fixed several issues when using Kirigami with the QtQuick software rendering backend (!350, !351).
I made the delegates provided by Kirigami Addons now have a slightly larger touch area on mobile (!349). Unfortunately, I also had to remove the small hover animations, as they occasionally caused visual glitches (1d6e84cd).
Convenient New APIs
Joshua Goins added an opened property to ConvergentContextMenu (!352), and I added a close method to allow closing the menu programmatically (!364).
I also added support for trailing items in FormTextFieldDelegate (f996fc6e).
Documentation
Thiago Sueto ported the entire library to QDoc (!354). QDoc provides much better support for QML.
Other Changes
“trapped-in-dreams” significantly improved the performance of the date picker (!360).
Volker Krause updated the project templates to reflect current best practices for Android support (!359).
Packager Section
The package is tagged but not yet available on download.kde.org. This will likely happen in the next 24hours. When available, you may find the package here and it has been signed with my GPG key.
