KQuickImageEditor 0.6.2 is a bug fix release.
This release includes the following changes:

- Alpha channel support in the non-OpenCV stack blur implementation (see
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519107). You should still build with
OpenCV until KQuickImageEditor 0.7. The non-OpenCV stack blur in 0.6.x is
massively slower than the OpenCV stack blur, but they will both be replaced
with a fast Qt+Highway stack blur in 0.7.
- An explicit build option for building with OpenCV, enabled by default on
Unix-like systems. Previously, there was just a warning message if you
didn't build with OpenCV. This option will be gone in 0.7 since OpenCV will
no longer be used at that point and there will only be one stack blur
implementation.
- Fix the blurred image cache being continuously rebuilt. This should
massively improve performance when drawing, moving or resizing a blur area.
- Images read by AnnotationDocument now respect image rotation metadata.
- The crop region now resets when the AnnotationDocument's canvas area
changes.
- Removed an unnecessary ECM module.
- Removed an unnecessary QImage::convertTo call (no change to performance,
it was a no-op).
