What’s new
Mind maps
Rolisteam now embeds a full mind-map editor, letting you sketch out plots, NPC relationships, or campaign notes visually, right next to your other campaign tools.

3D dice, powered by a physics engine
Rolling dice has never been more satisfying. The new 3D dice roller uses a real physics engine to simulate dice tumbling and bouncing, giving your rolls a tactile, tabletop feel.

Translations
Thanks to the KDE translation teams, Rolisteam is now available in even more languages, with existing translations kept up to date release after release.
Refactoring
Under the hood, this release is the result of a massive modernization effort:
- Port to Qt 6 — the entire codebase now runs on the Qt 6 framework.
- Build system switched to CMake, replacing the previous qmake-based setup.
- Websites migrated from self-hosting to KDE’s infrastructure.
- Websites migrated from the Pelican generator to Hugo.
- Source hosting moved from GitHub to KDE’s GitLab.
Quality
Code quality and long-term maintainability were a major focus of this release:
- 70% of the code is now covered by unit tests.
- An extensive suite of validation tests now runs continuously to catch regressions early.
- Dedicated test coverage was added for the mind-map, the character sheet, translations, and the network layer.
- Continuous integration now tracks code coverage on every change.
A huge thank you
This release wouldn’t have been possible without the community, the KDE translation teams, and everyone who reported bugs, tested pre-releases, and contributed code. Thank you!
