I see in sources libraw version still at 0.7.2

https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/libkdcraw/tree/libkdcraw/libraw/libraw/libraw_version.h

but at some point I integrated libraw 0.8.5 into libkdcraw, so  specific Sony RAW files started to open.

Is upgrade easy enough for everyone to do, or should I try to make patch myself ?
