Aug 1, 2025August 2025 monthly summary for nextcloud/craft-blueprints-kde. Focused on stabilizing OpenLDAP integration, delivering Kaichat-related features, asset updates, and improving build efficiency across platforms. Achieved OpenLDAP 2.6.10 compatibility with updated CMake/autoconf flow and cleanup, core LDAP fixes and Windows compatibility groundwork by reusing an OpenLDAP 2.4.45 baseline where needed, and feature-rich Kaichat releases with KIO/Purpose support. Asset work included Kaichat icons and app icons with path fixes. Build optimization efforts reduced compile times through autotest and default ktextaddons test adjustments, complemented by platform tweaks (macOS dbus exclusion) and new dependencies (Sonnet) and notification tooling (knotifyconfig). This combination reduces maintenance overhead, accelerates CI, and expands enterprise-ready capabilities.
