Hi all,
In this release, we mainly introduced some corrections in Pinyin, some
fcitx5-qt compatibility issue with Qt 6.6.0, which may triggers a bug
in Qt that causes application freeze
(https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-118650), or largely increase
the blinking issue
(https://fcitx-im.org/wiki/FAQ#Candidate_window_is_blinking_under_wayland_with_Fcitx_5).

With that being said, it is recommended NOT to use the fcitx im module
and use native wayland text input protocol wherever it is possible. In
this release there will be some warning that is shown on fcitx start
up if it detects that you are not setting the environment variable in
the optimal way.

Other changes are mainly to make fcitx5 packages buildable for android.

Despite the fcitx5-chinese-addons, Fcitx5 Android now includes anthy
libthai, rime, chewing, sayura, hangul support. Not all of them are
available on f-droid/play store right now, but you can always get the
nightly version via the updater:
