#Craft   #CI/CD   #Release  

A new Craft cache has been published about a week ago. The update has already been rolled out to KDE's CD and Windows CI with the update to Qt 6.11 beeing the most important change.

Changes (highlights)

General

We added updated our base image to build the Linux cache from AlmaLinux 8.10 to AlmaLinux 9.8. This implies a newer minimum required GLIBC.

We did inital work on MSVC 2026 support, but given that it is not supported by Qt 6.11, we did not complete it yet.

Blueprints

  • OpenSSL 3.6.2
  • Qt 6.11.1
  • New Qt modules QtGraphs and QtQuick3D
  • FFmpeg 8.1.1
  • FFmpeg is build with libass and x264 on MSVC now
  • tiff 4.7.1
  • libffi 3.5.2
