Splash Screen crashes on Plasma 5+

Issues

The splash screen (ksplashqml) crashes when loading either of the Catpuccin splash screens, due to a missing version specification in the QtQuick import of Splash.qml.

Stacktrace

I encountered the same issue on my system:

• Operating System: Kubuntu 24.04
• KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.11
• Qt Version: 5.15.13

This fix worked perfectly on my setup, but I'm not sure if it will help on different versions.

The issue has been resolved in version v0.2.5. You can fix it by running:

git checkout v0.2.5

before proceeding with the installation.
According to the release notes, this step is recommended for systems running KDE version 5.27.
