| This Week... |
|
Coverity fixes continue to roll in. amaroK gets enhanced support for VFAT (ie. Generic Audio) devices. New themes for KTuberling. Preliminary support for both next-generation disc formats (Blu-ray and HD-DVD) in K3B. KDE 4 changes: More apps ported to D-BUS. JuK gets the ball rolling on porting to Phonon.
|
Thiago Macieira leads the D-BUS porting effort, with many important libraries migrated over this week. Thiago reports that kdelibs is 3 files away from being free of DCOP - though naturally, the most difficult files have been reserved 'til last - and that he expects all of kdelibs to be ported over within the next 24 hours (7th May).
Apart from the obvious advantages of using a cross-desktop Inter-Process Communication (IPC) standard in the shape of D-BUS, KDE code functions taking advantage of the new framework should be simpler in most cases, though not necessarily faster.
|
Nicolas Goutte has a proposal for balancing the divergent codebases of the 3.5 branch and /trunk, where KDE4 is being developed at an ever-increasing pace:
|
I suppose that it is time to start to move out KDE3 stuff from trunk before it starts to conflict with the development KDE4, especially starting by moving out trunk/l10n to be able to get a step further for the new KDE4 translations.
I propose that a branch branches/unstable3 should be created to keep all KDE3 stuff that is currently in trunk. (The idea includes that there will be a branches/stable3 that will replacebranches/stable when it would be needed for KDE4.)
I propose the following plan in 4 phases:- Create the branch branches/unstable3
- Copy trunk/l10n to branches/unstable3/l10n
- Create an unstable KDE3 in branches/unstable3/KDE (copied from branches/stable/KDE )
- Moving the rest of the KDE3 stuff out of trunk.
The time plan is more or less:- phase 1 within a few hours after the decision
- phase 2 within a few days
- phase 3 within a few weeks
- phase 4 within a few months
...
The branches/unstable3/KDE could be the start of a KDE 3.6 (after KDE4), if such a project would become concrete somehow. (If not, it would not be difficult to delete it when it would really evident that there would not be any KDE 3.6.)
|
|
In KDE 4, Kalzium will try to share as much data as possible with other projects. For this purpose, BlueObelisk is the perfect partner. BlueObelisk is a group of chemists, programmers and informaticians frustrated by the proliferation of closed systems in academia, and driven by the promise of OpenSource, OpenStandards and OpenData.
This week, Carsten Niehaus converted the spectrum-data from Kalzium's self-created format to the CML (Chemical Markup Language) standard, and will try to move the whole dataset to BlueObelisk. This means that more projects will be able to use and extend large and expanding dataset already collated by Kalzium.
|
Back to 3.5 matters, Carsten Niehaus asks every developer to check the KDE 3.5.3 Changelog for completeness. If you notice a missing notable bugfix, please mail Carsten so that he can update the Changelog.
KDE 3.5.3 should be released on May 23rd (16 days from today).

KCachegrind: Draw a percentage bar not larger than 100%
With some profiles, the bar could be drawn that large
that this resulted in
X Error: BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter) 9
Major opcode: 62
Minor opcode: 0
Resource id: 0x3001217
errors from X. We get rid of this by drawing a maximum of
100% for the bar. For larger values, we still draw the
number...

Lots of fixes and changes to the process list. It's shaping up nicely. Still horrible and ugly, but slowly getting a better.
* Fix sorting + filtering.
* Search line works properly and so does user-selection combobox
* Selection and "kill" button works
* Expanding one process expands all its sub children
* Expanding/collapsing the processes will cause the first column to resize.
* Show memory as a nice string (3.4 KB, 12MB, etc)
* Sort memory correctly

Backport fix:
Use the following method to determine the status message to
be displayed (the term "contact" should be read as
"contact of the metacontact" and "online" as "not offline"):
* Display the new status message if
- the new status message is not empty and
- the contact who set it is online or there are no contacts online at all.
* Otherwise display the first non-empty status message among all contacts
online---or offline if there are no contacts online at all.
* If no status message is displayed yet display no status message at all.

David Faure committed a change to /branches/koffice/1.5/koffice/lib/kotext/KoTextFormatter.cpp:

Fix behavior of tabs in center-aligned or right-aligned paragraphs, as noticed by Thorsten.
My fix for #40472 was overzealous; starting from the last tab should only be done for justified text, not for
center-aligned or right-aligned text.
We now behave like MSWord (and I guess oowriter): the tab pos are applied, and then the whole parag
is moved horizontally. Feels weird that the tab pos don't align with the tabbed text, but well, somehow
it makes sense too.Thorsten Zachmann |

Unicode support for JFIF and EXIF comments:

Using UTF8 for JFIF is simple and easy and should work.
The UCS-2 support needs testing (and a decision if we
always want to write Unicode, or a way to find out when we need to
and when we can as well write ASCII)

using the frameReady( Phonon::VideoFrame& ) signal.
- add VideoOutputDevice and methods to list the available devices in
BackendCapabilities (could be "Xv", "XShm", "SDL" and such)
- the createIface methods don't crash anymore when the backend returns 0 for
some Iface object.
- EffectParameter::setValue is not a const method
- add Q_PROPERTY macros to AudioDataOutput and fix dox a little
- less const_cast<...>( this ) usage
- add virtual method to AbstractVideoOutput that takes a void* and returns a
void* -> this method can help implementing a backend as the implementations
for VideoDataOutput and VideoWidget will be in different DSOs.
- the Fake backend now creates a simple video stream and shows it on the
VideoWidget (well, it looks broken because I didn't put much effort into it,
but this is only for seeing that "something works") |

Even more refactoring of RMB. It now even shows a context menu.
Currently hardcoded to the first bookmark, but otherwise it seems to work.
And removes some cruft of an apparently hidden feature. A feature without
a gui, and no google hit for the configuration option.
The feature removed the "Add Bookmark Here" and similar entries from the
menu and added a special submenu instead.
If you want to see it in action, try adding:
QuickActionSubmenu=true
to kbookmarkrc.
Well, that feature is gone.

This makes the name of the tempfile slightly nicer, but more importantly it allows

First version of a Repaint Manager.
This allows each KoShape to have a repaint() method which will cause the
canvas to repaint it.
Design is a bit tricky due to the fact that each object can have more then
one canvas it works on; I have to work on that a little more but the idea
is already visible in the KoRepaintManager.h file
The bigest sacrifice I had to make is that KoShapeManager now has its own
list of the objects and a add/remove for the objects.
With the ShapeManager being a QObject anyway we can probably add some
slots to minimize the pain of a shadow administration.
Note that the repaint manager is currently not enabled as there are some
repainting bugs.
Edit FlakeCanvas::updateCanvas (in testapp/mainwindow.cpp) to enabled it. |

KCachegrind: Fix slow loading times of unusual profile data files
Running callgrind on a Valgrind tool (this is valgrind hosting itself)
produces such unusual profiles, where the number of callers or callees
of functions can reach some 100 thousands (or even more).
This fix gets rid of load time complexity quadratic to the number of
callers/callees of a function, which made KCachegrind unusable on such
profiles before.

This adds two new classes. DataView and DataModel, which are used to keep

Nicolas Brisset committed a change to /trunk/extragear/graphics/kst/src/datasources/cdf/cdf.cpp:
|
Changes to the CDF datasource, driven by the need to read CDF files written by the CDF routines bundled with Matlab (which are stored in a way that was not handled previously, for more information see the comments in the code). It is reasonably well tested here, if anybody gets a chance to test it further or takes a look at the code, comments are welcome.
While we were at it, we cleaned up the code a bit:
- indentation, especially for calls to CDFlib(...)
- data are read in whole chunks, while they were previously read one at a time. I suppose it should be faster, but I have not benchmarked it and with a few thousand samples the difference is not really noticeable
- frame counts are initialized directly while creating the field list
- the understands_cdf() function now returns 100.
Note that there is no locking mechanism in place for the case of concurrent access from different threads. I have not seen any crashes due to that (yet), but it may be good to keep it in mind as I'm not sure the CDF lib is threadsafe. |
