| This Week... |
|
KGoldRunner begins the transition to a scalable graphics interface. okular gains support for DjVu metadata, and investigates the use of threaded text extraction in order to prevent interface freezes. Continued improvement in the font KControl configuration module. More 3d and contemporary effects in the kwin_composite branch. Multiple, discriminatory language spellchecking develops in Sonnet. Improved support for BMP and ZIP files in Strigi. Import of user documentation for Mailody. Optimisations in the Dolphin filemanager. An important stage in the replacement of kdesktop elements with krunner is completed. KTorrent makes exploratory moves towards a KDE 4 port. KSirc, an IRC client, is removed from KDE SVN.
|
The past week saw the twin releases of KDE 3.5.6 and KDevelop 3.4 to favourable reception. KDE 3.5.6 was slightly delayed to fix a critical bug, and was released 2 days after the original schedule. Whilst it has not yet been conclusively determined whether there will be a KDE 3.5.7, development of course continues at full speed toward KDE 4.
|
With KDevelop, the focus is now on KDevelop 4, where an unfortunate situation has developed, based upon disagreement of a name. Matt Rogers reports:
|
So KDevelop 3.4 is finally released. yay! Sadly, the real start of KDevelop 4 development (where we actually have the majority of the team working on it) is overshadowed by the prospect of a fork.
We decided around the beginning of KDevelop 4 development, along with the Quanta guys, that we would export an SDK that could be used by people who were wanting to build on top of what KDevelop was already for plugin management and manipulation along with some other things. Thus, what would be known in the beginning as the KDevelop Platform was born.
Somewhere down the line, we decided that in the spirit of providing nice names for KDE 4 technologies, we’d get in on the action too and provide a name for our nifty little SDK. Seeing as how we’re not very creative people (at least when it comes to naming things), we’d come up with only one name: “KDevPlatform”. Of course, that was much too boring. When Alexander Dymo proposed “Koncrete” a week or two ago on the IRC channel, we jumped all over it. Nearly everyone that had been active at some point in time within the last year was on IRC. We all liked it. Nobody disagreed. I made the changes and gave our SDK a nice namespace (seriously, don’t shoot me, I’m just the messenger).
Well, there actually ended up being a couple of people who weren’t too hot on the new name of the KDevelop SDK that we’re going to provide. One of those people couldn’t get over the fact that we had renamed a part of KDevelop and will most likely end up forking. We didn’t even rename the application or the name of the project. We only changed the set of libraries that will make up the SDK.
We haven’t decided what we’re going to do about the name. Right now, we’re more interested in fixing up the current code that we have in KDevelop 4 so we can get on to more useful things, like actually being able to use the IDE. I imagine once we get closer to that point, we’ll revisit the name issue.

On a more positive note, Aurélien Gâteau announces a resurrection of the graphics application Gwenview, only weeks after untimely reports of its demise:
|
I'm not giving up maintainership of Gwenview anymore - in fact it has been decided that Gwenview will move to kdegraphics for KDE4! This is what I call great news!
The nice people from kde-usability and I have been working on the design of this new Gwenview. It's going to be a bit different from what you have been used to, but I believe it's more focused on the way most people use Gwenview: either to quickly view an image, or to browse all images in a folder.
To whet your appetite, here are two mockups of what Gwenview 2.0 will probably look like:

Troy Unrau writes a brief, functional note about the recent krunner transition:
|
|
Just a note to KDE 4 developers: if you are reinstalling kdebase (and not doing a fresh installation of kdebase), you will need to manually delete a lingering $PREFIX/share/autostart/kdesktop.desktop in order to prevent kdesktop from inadvertently loading at startup. krunner now handles CTRL-ESC, CTRL-ALT-DEL, screensavers/locking and more that kdesktop previously handled, and will load on startup. It still has some bugs, so help is welcome.
|
|
Carsten Niehaus reports that KDE 4 compilation may soon need CMake 2.4.5, due to CMake functionality improvements which were not present in the previously-required CMake version 2.4.3. However, the changes in KDE SVN to enforce this change were not discussed widely, and so have been reverted pending further discussion.
|
The world has gone through massive change and upheaval over the last six years, but one thing has been omnipresent and constant - the outstanding existence of Bug 20532: Undoing a copy operation might delete a modified file causing loss of data. However, time shifts and empires fall: likewise, Bug 20532, with its debut in KDE 2.0.1 has been crushed by David Faure this week, which is great news for certain modified data files!

David Faure committed changes in /trunk/KDE:
|
Fixed 6-years old bug 20532: Undoing a copy operation might delete a modified file causing loss of data.
A confirmation message box is shown when undoing a copy after modifying the file [this relies on copy preserving the mtime though, which might not be true for all protocols but we'll have to fix that].
The less severe case of move, modify, undo (no data loss, but the modified file is moved back) can't be fixed in all cases, since moving a whole directory can be done by a simple rename() call, so we have no information on all the files inside the directory. For single files it could be done though, but that's not implemented by this. |

Don't write out empty, invalid or superfluous fields. If we have an empty organizer, an invalid URI would be generated. Fields like Sequence, CLASS, etc. have a default value (defined in rfc 2445), so we don't have to write that default value out and grow the icalendar file even more.... |

Clarence Dang committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdegraphics/kolourpaint:
|
Port kpDocument::getSelectedPixmap() for non-rectangular selections.
This logic is moved into the new kpSelection::givenImageMaskedByShape(),
to group as much selection code together as possible.
Factor code out into kpSelection::maskRegion().
We probably have off-by-one errors with the selection border.
In user terms, this means that you can now select an area containing transparent pixels and then Image / More Effects ...
Without XRENDER, this means you can now select any area and actually get something reasonable in Image / More Effects, rather than a yellow blob. |

Full screen action improvement for Digikam:
- move action from Settings menu to View menu
- use KStdAction::fullScreen() on KDE 3.2 or newer (improved toggle support)
- use KToggleAction on older KDE
This makes it consistent with Editor, ShowFoto and other KDE applications. |

* Put "Font Management Mode" button into settings menu.
* Create a small kio_fonts_helper app to be run as root in order to modify fonts:/System. Works *much* faster than using SuProc for each individual font access.
* kfontinst now only handles GUI side of install
* Add font view functionality to kfontinst
* Use a custom FontLister class, as opposed to KDirLister - this way can stop KIO::listDir being called whilst installing/removing/etc. fonts.
* Fix crash when adding a font group. |

Dag Andersen committed changes in /trunk/koffice/kplato:
|
Add DurationSpinBox + delgate and use in taskeditor.
This works as a double spinbox with the addition of changable units.
It's meant as a replacement for the (somewhat complicated) DurationWidget.
Caveats:
* Based on QDoubleSpinBox, should possibly be KDoubleSpinBox (KLocale vs QLocale).
* Precision is always 2.
* Rounding may change the value when the unit is changed. This shouldn't be a big problem as the *normal* use case is to select the unit, then enter a value. |

Jan Hambrecht committed changes in /trunk/koffice/shapes/pathshapes/enhancedpath:
|
Many improvements to the enhanced path shape.
The shape has now a concept of a viewbox with the original coordinate system and coordinates defined with the enhanced path parameters. The evaluating of parameters and formulae works with that to calculate the values used for creating the shape.
Those values get mapped into the shapes coordinate system and are then used for creating the outline.
This fixes the bounding box problems experienced with shapes changing its size when edited.
Implemented more commands and a circular-arc shape copied verbatim from oo2 to test these commands.
Splitted the template definitions into different functions inside the shape factory and use more complex structures as properties of the templates. |

- KConfig keeps a KComponentData object and uses KStandardDirs from that object instead of KGlobal::dirs()
- added KSharedConfigPtr (inherits KSharedPtr) for special refcount handling with KComponentData
- make KSharedPtr::d protected instead of private for KSharedConfigPtr |

One more API change for K_GLOBAL_STATIC (from what I know it's not used anywhere yet):
use an anonymous struct (POD) for the global object that provides the following functions:
- bool isDestroyed()
- operator TYPE*()
- TYPE *operator->()
- TYPE &operator*()
- static void destroy()
The latter is used for cleanup and can be used as a post routine with
qAddPostRoutine
This expands to a little more code but a lot nicer API. |

Disable kdesktop in favour of krunner
This is to force the broken kdesktop to finally die. Most of it's non-desktop functionality (mini cli, shortcut key definitions, locking/screensaver and Autostart folder processing) has been moved over.
ALT-F2 is currently broken - to get the runner to show up, you have to issue "qdbus org.kde.krunner /Interface display" in an xterm or equivalent. CTRL-ESC, CTRL-ALT-DEL, etc. work.
Lastly, you have to manually remove share/autostart/kdesktop.desktop to fully kill kdesktop, if you are not using a fresh install... |

Will Stephenson committed a change to /branches/KDE/3.5/kdepim/kresources/remote/resourceremote.cpp:
|
This patch uses the resource's own KABC::Lock to lock the cache file, which inhibits the file_copy operation that causes the error. The resource detects its cache is locked after having loaded the cache, but before refreshing the cache.
The result of adding this lock is that if two processes are simultaneously reloading the resource, the winner will first load the cached version (call it C-1) and then load C0 after fetching it. The loser will load C-1, encounter the lock and stop. On the next iteration, Winner gets C1 and Loser gets C0.
So the result of the lockstep is that loser is at most out of date by one version of the resource. A better synchronisation would be if we had distributed locks so that Loser is notified when Winner releases its lock and then loads the fresh cache file. |

Forward port of SVN commit 627420 by kainhofe:
Work around Windows-isms. RFC 2445 clearly says that all linebreaks are always \r\n, even under Unix, where \n is used for text files. Just because windows apparently adds the \r automatically, when you add a \n, does not mean that other platforms will do the same. Here in Linux, the file contains exactly what you put into the char*, which is a \n only and thus invalid. |

It's official, ktorrent is now making the jump to the land of KDE 4. It will be a big job to port it all, so don't expect much functioning in the next month or so.
This initial import is nothing more then a research project to get an ideal style gui app up and running. Seeing that nobody ever bothered to make an ideal library for KDE4 (kate and kdevelop seem to have gone their own separate ways), I decided to hack one together for ktorrent, it's pretty simple, but it works and remembers it state properly. I have put it in a separate directory and library, so maybe somebody else can some day find some use for it. |
