Migration to Qt 6

This release now supports Qt 6 and was successfully tested on macOS, alongside with Linux and Windows. It also features a German translation of the user interface and various code refactorings and improvements. Once again, a PKGBUILD file for Arch Linux users is provided. Enjoy!

New QML-based GUI

Headway is now based on Qt! The advantage is that Headway is now platform-independent (Windows and Linux are tested, macOS should work too). Also, the number of dependencies has been reduced to one, as Headway only depends on Qt itself now. libxml++, libjsoncpp and libgtest have been replaced by built-in Qt classes, and qmake is now used instead of CMake. The frontend was completely rewritten in QML, a declarative language tailored to create graphical user interfaces. The backend was implemented in C++ an JavaScript.

Upload of old gtkmm-based version

This release contains the last version of Headway that was based on gtkmm. Headway was ported to Qt because it better supports non-Linux platforms and does not require the ugly workarounds the gtkmm-version needed.
