polkit-qt-1 0.113.0 Released

Some 5 years after the previous release KDE has made a new release of polkit-qt-1, versioned 0.113.0.

Polkit (formerly PolicyKit) is a component for controlling system-wide privileges in Unix-like operating systems. It provides an organized way for non-privileged processes to communicate with privileged ones.   Polkit has an authorization API intended to be used by privileged programs (“MECHANISMS”) offering service to unprivileged programs (“CLIENTS”).

Polkit Qt provides Qt bindings and UI.

This release was done ahead of additions to KIO to support Polkit.
