digiKam 7.9.0 is released

After four months of active maintenance and another bug triage, the digiKam team is proud to present version 7.9.0 of its open source digital photo manager. See below the list of most important features coming with this release.

Bundles Internal Component Updates

As with the previous releases, we take care about upgrading the internal components from the Bundles. Microsoft Windows Installer, Apple macOs Package, and Linux AppImage binaries now hosts:

• Qt frameworks 5.15.7 LTS.
• KDE frameworks 5.99.0.
• Libraw snapshot 20221123.
• ExifTool 12.51.
• GMicQt 3.1.6.

All of these components include important stability improvements and fixes. Ubuntu 18.04 LTS is now used to compile the AppImage for a better backward binary compatibility with the Linux distributions.

This new version arrives with 97 triaged and closed files in bugzilla. See below a list of major improvements included in this release:

• Fix of Google photo login and remote album management.

They are totally unrelated. And DigiKam is not exactly a new app, if that's what you're thinking.
