I wrote the last significant feature changes to the Palapeli app in 2014-5,
using KDE 4 libraries. It has since been ported by other programmers to use
Frameworks (KF5) libraries. The libraries provide the menu bar contents in
either case.

I wish I had known about that app when I was writing the "large puzzle"
extensions for Palapeli...:-(
Also, using the mouse wheel to rotate pieces is a great idea. As you know,
Palapeli only shuffles the positions of pieces, not the orientation.

I guess there is not, except the change to make your puzzle-library's display
2-dimensional --- otherwise only the mods required to add language translations
and remain compatible with newer versions of KDE and Qt libraries whenever they
are released.

As am I :-) ... using very old KDE 4 libraries on Apple OS X and Macports.
