Build from Source

To follow the development of Kraft, please use git. Kraft is hosted on Github.
Qt5 and KDE Frameworks 5
From version 0.80 on Kraft is based on the KF5/Qt5 platform. The last stable version 0.59 of Kraft is deprecated now and should not longer be used. Kraft 0.59 can only be used on distributions shipping Akonadi based on KDE4, which no big distribution actually does.
With new abstractions added to Kraft starting with version 0.80, porting Kraft to MacOSX and Windows will be easier on the long run.
