Bart De Vries 633f4fd0f0 Use multithreading for feed updates (using ThreadWeaver)
This contains the following changes:
- Use separate db connections for feed updates (required for
  multithreading.
- Add ThreadWeaver dependency.
- Port update job from KJob to ThreadWeaver::Job
- This should also solve the bug where the update process would hang
  on the "processEvents" call, which was intended to keep the UI
  responsive during updates.

Kasts

Kasts is a convergent podcast application.

Download on Flathub

Get it

Nightly Android APKs are available at KDE's Binary Factory.

Building

Note: When using versions of kasts built from git-master, it's possible that the database format or the name of downloaded files change from one version to another without the necessary migrations to handle it. If you notice bugs after upgrading to a git-master version, export your feeds, delete ~/.local/share/KDE/kasts and import the feeds again.

Requirements

  • KCoreAddons
  • KI18n
  • KConfig
  • Kirigami
  • Syndication
  • TagLib
  • QtKeychain
  • ThreadWeaver

On debian
