Hello all,

It has now been 2 years since the very first tests of QML, Kirigami, on Linux & Windows, confirming the feasibility and next big step for Katalog user experience.
Katalog 3.0 is now Released!

✨ Katalog 3 introduction​

  • Katalog 3 marks the transition to a more modern User Interface. It relies on QtQuick (instead of QtWidgets) and Kirigami from KDE.

  • All features available in Katalog 2.12 have been ported in Katalog 3 with many improvements.

  • Katalog 2 has been maintained (bugs & light feature changes) to version 2.13, keeping full db compatiblity with Katalog 3.0.

  • Older versions of Katalog (2.12 and before) should not be used on collections opened with 2.13 or 3.0.
