Konversation 1.6.1 released!

July 22, 2016

Konversation 1.6.1 is a maintenance release that contains various bug fixes for the stable KDE Frameworks 5-based version of Konversation.

Changes from 1.6 to 1.6.1:

• Added an option to allow a server to bypass the global proxy settings.
• Fixed a crash when changing the Qt style engine.
• Fixed a crash when running “/exec -showpath” with no script name.
• Fixed notification events for DCC Chats not working.
• Fixed crash when closing the DCC Status tab.
• Fixed crashes with the ISO-2022-JP encoding.
• Fixed the “Close All Open Queries” action not working properly.
• Minor UI polish, e.g. the margin under the nicklist when the Quick Button grid is disabled or emtpy.
• Fixed missing icons on the Next/Previous buttons in the search bar.
• On screens to small to fit Konversation’s configuration dialog, the dialog will now show scrollbars around its content instead of the dialog buttons being forced off-screen.
• Konversation now sets its window icon in a way that causes a hi-res icon to be available in window switchers such as Plasma’s Alt+Tab UI.
• Removed the spell checking language submenu from the context menu of the input bar - KDE Frameworks 5 now contains this upstream, leading to two submenus.
• Fixed installing the Oxygen nickname list theme.
• Fixed changes to the tab bar font’s font weight being applied to the chat text area.
• Minor changes to tooltips to support the Wayland windowing system better.
• Fixed the Windows build.
• Added KCrash (DrKonqi) support.
• Improved support for the KDE Kiosk framework, fixing checks for the “shell_command” privilege.
• Added AppData metadata for app stores.
