Not sure where messagelib / KMail gets that text from, but if it comes from
GnuPG itself then perhaps it is caused by a change in GnuPG that has come
through due to us running SUSE Tumbleweed?
Fix will require version dependent content.

Otherwise the cause is us adjusting our own code and not our unit tests...

Might be due to a link interface (private vs. public) perhaps?

Fixes for Windows, Android and macOS (CD) builds should be available soon.
I have yet to see a merge request to sysadmin/ci-images for the SUSE or
FreeBSD images.

We've hit this before, and with NeoChat too.

This is caused by fancy C++ features being used which are not supported by
the older Appimage platform.
Appimages are built on AlmaLinux 9 to ensure an old libc is used to
maximise compatibility with the systems they can be run on.

Neochat needs to make a decision about what they want more: Appimages or
fancy C++ features.

I wish Craft wouldn't dump extremely verbose Mac packaging logs to the
console when it fails - the packaging log file is over 3MB of text. Gitlab
will store that for eternity (well until I go and delete it anyway).
Looking at the full package log which gets artifacted (and therefore will
automatically expire) reveals:

2026-06-29 18:27:49,509 INFO signmacapp 2026-06-29 17:27:45,869 ERROR
macappsigner Error: Processing task

application ID is empty, which may indicate that required MACOSX_BUNDLE_*
properties are not set in the associated cmake target.'). Giving up.

Why does Cantor have Mac builds enabled when it is clearly not ready to be
built there?
