Kirigami Addons 1.16.0 introduces Material style support for mobile integration

The Kirigami Addons project has released version 1.16.0, focusing heavily on improving platform integration across mobile and desktop environments. A major highlight of this update is the implementation of the Qt Quick Controls Material style, which allows components to blend more seamlessly with native Android applications.

Beyond mobile styling, the release includes significant refinements to the FormCard module, improved macOS and iOS compatibility, and a migration to the modern I18nContext system. These changes aim to make the Kirigami ecosystem more versatile for developers targeting both Plasma Mobile and Android platforms.

Technical improvements in Kirigami Addons 1.16.0

• Mobile UI Integration: Added support for the Qt Quick Controls Material style to facilitate a more native look and feel for Android applications like Itinerary and Tokodon.
• FormCard Enhancements: Introduced a scrollable FormCardDialog for high-content layouts and a new autoSeparators API to simplify internal code structures.
• Internationalization Migration: Moved from the deprecated ki18n context properties to the newer I18nContext system, improving compatibility with modern QML tooling.
• Platform-Specific Fixes: Resolved iOS static linking build issues and updated macOS settings dialogs to utilize standard modal windows with title bars and close buttons.
• Component Refinements: Improved accessibility, fixed visibility binding loops in FormGridContainer, and updated date/time popups to support right-to-left (RTL) layouts.

Why it matters

This release lowers the barrier for developers to create cross-platform applications that feel native on both Plasma Mobile and Android. By improving the visual consistency and technical stability on macOS and iOS, Kirigami becomes a more viable toolkit for high-quality, multi-platform desktop and mobile software.
