Hi all,

The first version of 8.2.0 Windows 64 installer build with VCPKG tool-chain
under Windows 10 is available here :

https://files.kde.org/digikam/unstable/

Currently the non debug version is online as an NSIS binary installer and a
portable tarball. The debug version will arrive in one hours.

This version has all supported features of digiKam, including mysql (not tested
yet), heif, aom, jpegxl support, qtwebengine for the cloud service connection,
Exiv2 0.28, etc. The missing feature is ImageMagick image loader which must be
replaced by GraphicsMagick. This last one is only available under VCPKG, and
image loader code must be ported to the GM API which differs from IM.

digiKam is compiled with MSVC compiler from Microsoft, with Qt6 (stable 6.6.0)
and KDE frameworks version 6 not yet released as stable (this planned for
February 2024). Installer is not signed with Microsoft CERT, as we need to pay
around 150-100€ per year, which I refuse to do by policy. Who wants to bloat
Microsoft with money coming from an open source project. I cannot accept that
at all.

So to install digiKam under Windows 10 and later, you need to tune the security
rules from Windows control panel as explained in the online documentation here
:

https://docs.digikam.org/fr/getting_started/installation.html#digikam-on-windows

Voilà, do not use yet in production, just for testing, as the KDE framework
used with this Windows version is not yet released. It's dedicated to tests
only...
