Treats for Kate - Welcome Page, Git Diff Viewer, Config Searching (UPDATED)
So far Kate was only able to display code views in Kate’s central view component. In the upcoming release, Kate can also place arbitrary Qt Widgets there, which required making some bigger changes under the hood. You might ask how is this relevant at all, to which we answer: this change enabled us to implement a treat bag of cool, new features. Already we have used this to implement a welcome page, an improved git diff viewer and the configuration options now reside in a tab instead of a dialog.
