Hi,

a bugfix release for KIO 6.22 is available, with one change:=20
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/commit/1b0148505a446344b686e7ee74e=
6c43b592f06a9

Important context:

KIO 6.15 introduced=20
https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/commit/43ae770f077641454af2084cf3d=
cc5562fd4ffe9,=20
which has a mistake when deprecating a virtual function. Because of that=
=20
you may get a different vtable layout depending on how the project is=20
built and thus potential ABI issues.

The patch addresses that mistake. However it is possible that some=20
projects are already built against the new, unintended vtable layout.=20
I'd recommend to rebuild consumers of KIO to rule out any such issues.

Cheers

Nico
