Oct 1, 2025Month: 2025-10 — Focused on stabilizing cross-platform Qt Python bindings and improving install reliability for nextcloud/craft-blueprints-kde. Key work included integrating shiboken6-generator to enable Python bindings on non-Windows platforms, extending macOS build support, and implementing a Windows-specific workaround to prevent install-time issues by temporarily disabling Python integration. Additionally, we performed maintenance to clean up the shiboken6-generator codebase to reduce dead code and potential conflicts. These changes collectively reduce customer-facing install failures, broaden platform coverage, and lay groundwork for new scripting capabilities.

Jun 1, 2025June 2025 focused on stabilizing the Labplot AppImage packaging for Linux in nextcloud/craft-blueprints-kde. Delivered a reliability improvement by disabling Python support in the AppImage build due to PySide6 not being supported by the current build system, preventing potential build failures and aligning with the PySide6 roadmap. This change reduces release blockers and maintains platform parity while dependencies mature.

Jan 1, 2025January 2025 monthly summary for nextcloud/craft-blueprints-kde focused on stabilizing cross-platform builds, expanding LabPlot dependencies, and improving Windows packaging. Delivered exploratory Linux integration work for LabPlot with liborcus and corresponding dependency, enabling future Linux workflows; however, the change was subsequently reverted to address platform-specific concerns, providing valuable validation of integration paths and informing subsequent fixes. Implemented targeted Windows (MSVC) compatibility improvements for Libixion and the mdds+libixion stack, enhancing build reliability across MSVC toolchains. Strengthened Libixion packaging and patch handling; introduced AppImage build fixes, multiple patch attempts, and revert cycles to improve distribution readiness. Enhanced Readstat usability by enabling usage from shared libraries and triggering a recompile after changes to ensure compatibility. Added LabPlot Python as a build dependency to streamline Python-based tooling in the LabPlot workflow. Overall, these efforts improved cross-platform reliability, packaging readiness, and readiness for downstream integration across LabPlot, Libixion, Readstat, and related tooling.
