Solid Added energyFull and energyFullDesign to Battery Buildsystem changes (extra-cmake-modules) New ECMUninstallTarget module to create an uninstall target Make KDECMakeSettings import ECMUninstallTarget by default KDEInstallDirs: warn about mixing relative and absolute installation paths on the command line Added ECMAddAppIcon module to add icons to executable targets on Windows and Mac OS X Fixed CMP0053 warning with CMake 3.1 Do not unset cache variables in KDEInstallDirs Frameworkintegration Fix updating of single click setting at runtime Multiple fixes to the systemtray integration Only install color scheme on toplevel widgets (to fix QQuickWidgets) Update XCursor settings on X11 platform http://kde.org/announcements/kde-frameworks-5.7.0.php _______________________________________________ kde-announce mailing list kde-announce@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-announce
