Hi,

KDE Connect 1.4 is now available [0].

What is KDE Connect?

KDE Connect is a project that enables all your devices to communicate with each other. Here are a few things KDE Connect can do:
Receive your phone notifications on your desktop computer and reply to messages
Control music playing on your desktop from your phone
Use your phone as a remote control for your desktop
Run predefined commands on your PC from connected devices. See the list of example commands for more details.
Check your phones battery level from the desktop
Ring your phone to help finding it
Share files and links between devices
Browse your phone from the desktop
Control the desktop's volume from the phone

To achieve this, KDE Connect:

implements a secure communication protocol over the network, and allows any developer to create plugins on top of it.
Has a component that you install on your desktop.
Has a KDE Connect client app you run on your phone.

The tarball is signed with F53223F3337665C2CCEA122E873AC3459BBCF5C0.
Note for packagers: This release has two new non-Frameworks dependencies: pulseaudio-qt [1] and kpeoplevcard [2].

Thanks

Nico
