uChmViewer 8.2, a fork of KchmViewer, a viewer for chm (MS HTML help) and epub files, is now available. The release adds support for KDE Framework 5 instead of KDE4 and initial support for Qt6 instead of Qt4. The branch is distinguished by the inclusion of some improvements that did not and most likely will not fall into the main composition of KchmViewer. The code is written in C++ and is licensed under GPLv3.
Major changes:
- The fork has been renamed to uChmViewer. Also removed checking the code for updates.
- Dropped support for Qt4 and KDE4 upstream. Qt4 specific code has been removed.
- Added support for KDE Framework 5 via KDELibs4Support.
- Added limited support for Qt6. The application is built with Qt 6.2, but for this I had to disable printing and page search, and also rely on the default settings when viewing pages.
- Added USE_DBUS option to CMake build script. The option allows you to enable/disable assembly with D-Bus on any platform where this technology is available. Previously, building with D-Bus was only supported on Linux.
