        A new Craft cache has just been published. The update is already available for KDE's CD, CI (Windows/Android) will follow in the next days.

        Please note that this only applies to the Qt6 cache. The Qt5 cache is in LTS mode since April 2024 and does not recieve major updates anymore. We highly recommend to port your Qt5 app packaged by Craft to Qt6 as soon as possible!
