The KOffice ODF weekend sprint takes place in Berlin. KTuberling, the much-loved "potato man" game, is saved for inclusion in kdegames for KDE 4, with the start of porting to SVG and other general improvements. Rewrite of KPoker replaces the previous implementation. Xinerama improvements in the KWin window manager. Continued work on Konsole. Usability and other improvements in KGPG. More progress in the Music Notation Flake shape Summer of Code project in KOffice. Version 2 of the KDChart library imported into KDE SVN to allow KChart of KOffice 2 to be based upon it. The "systemsettings" set of utilities begins to be ported to KDE 4. Printing and Exporting functionality added to the KDE frontend to Marble. User documentation handbooks started for Marble and KAlgebra. KAlgebra, Marble and Bovo move into the kdereview module for final review before moving into their respective home modules for KDE 4. KLatin is moved out of the kdeedu module for KDE 4.

This past weekend was host to the KOffice ODF sprint at the KDAB offices in Berlin, the German capital. Whilst general coverage of the start of the event can be found here, I talked to Philip Rodrigues, who announces one of the technical highlights of the event: the implementation of the loading of ODF with Flake shapes:
|
The KOffice ODF sprint has produced some quick results with a new method for loading Flake shapes from ODF decided upon, and commits of the implementation already starting. With many of the KOffice core and application developers in the same place, we were able to come up with a system to combine Flake, the new 'shape' system for KOffice 2, with OpenDocument Format, the standard, interoperable file format used by the applications in KOffice.
Each Flake shape will now have a method to load itself from ODF, with a global registry linking shapes to the ODF types that they can load. The registry will allow multiple shapes to offer to open the same types, with an algorithm to choose between the available shapes. With feedback from application developers available during the design process, the implementation was started immediately, with commits from Thorsten Zachmann and Boudewijn Rempt.

Jun-Kyu Park introduces Galmuri, a new backup utility:
|
Galmuri is an automatic backup utility for KDE 4. Galmuri can automatically and periodically store your data in your specific storage space (called a 'Repository'), and restore it when you want.
Galmuri will keep your data securely and easily. Free from repetitive manual tasks for data archiving, Galmuri will provide easy interface to data archiving and restoration.
Key concepts are done. I've just started actual implementation - though I haven't made lots of progress so far, there is a huge load of work left to do! The first thing I've got to do is to make Galmuri usable.
The goal of Galmuri is to become a comprehensive solution for data security in KDE 4. I want to make it seamlessly integrate with KDE. When Galmuri becomes usable enough, I would like to see it included in the default KDE 4 distribution.
The word 'Galmuri' came from my mother tongue, the Korean language. It means 'conserve' or 'to keep' in Korean. Once I named it KBackup, but another KBackup already exists, so I thought of the new name. A name should imply the purpose of a program, and 'Galmuri' is the name I finally decided on.
Galmuri is extremely flexible: the 'backup targets' are fully plugin based. If you want to store local files, there is a 'target plugin' for storing files. If you want to backup a database dump, the SQL target plugin will do that. Not only built-in plugins, but you can freely create new target plugins. For example, a plugin that archives application domain data or a HTTP-based webpage grabber, and so on.
However, this doesn't mean that Galmuri will be hard to use. Galmuri will feature a simple and intuitive user interface. There are more features I'm planning to add, current development is just the tip of iceberg :).
Galmuri is under heavy construction. I'm working on internal codebase, there aren't many things I can show you. The screenshots below show the only UI that i've done at this point.
Productive suggestions are always welcome. Feel free to give advice and help me improve Galmuri!

Fredrik Höglund committed a change to /trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/kcontrol/krdb/krdb.cpp:
|
- Don't disable font anti-aliasing in all applications at KDE startup if the user hasn't explicitly enabled it in KControl. (Especially since the checkbox in the fonts KCM indicates that it's on by default)
- Don't override default font settings with bogus values when they haven't been configured by the user in the fonts KCM. |

Till Adam committed changes in /branches/kdepim/enterprise/kdepim/kmail:
|
Apply ported version of the mail loss debugging and explicit deletions patch, which I've been developing with the help of some adventurous users. Thanks!
This tracks all deletions that happen through user actions and adds a check to the sync making sure that only things that were explicitely deleted are removed during sync. If unsure, the sync now re-downloads (duplicates) instead of removing mails, which should be safer. Also adds a lot of conditional debugging and refactors open/close to duplicate less code.
Will has a ported version of this for 3.x, which will go into pim+ shortly. |

Disable sorting altogether. Maybe revisit it when I have the time or inclination, but it's really troublesome, especially descending sort. |

KDevelop say hello to your new way of handling context menus.
This is a first simple implementation, without the weights or any other extra logic. I added a build entry to the project manager view context menu to demonstrate it. The docs on the Context class got updated with some hints what a plugin has to do.
Unfortunately for some unknown reason the signal mapper doesn't work, so only the dummy buildSelectedItem slot is called at the moment. If anybody can give me a hint whats wrong there that would be great |

Committing a kpoker rewrite:
This code has been on my disk for a long time. It is in a "mostly usable"
state, however:
* It is entirely KDE 3 based
* I am mostly working on the gameengine and the general framework parts, the GUI is in a debugging state only.
* Singleplayer games are supposed to be working, multiplayer games "work", but the "raise" phase is mostly unimplemented.
In particular this code is KGame based and thus meant to support both, network games and computer players. The previous KPoker code had a computer player, but the code sucked a lot - the code was never meant for a computer player.
The AI in this code does exist, but is a dummy (debugging) one only. |

Commit all the stuff, i was at this ->| |<- close of rm -rf'ing it
Things that work:
- SVG !!!
- Actions for languages and playgrounds are dynamicaly generated instead of beign hardcoded
What's missing:
- Texts :-( <-- That's going to be hard
- Some bugs in either my understanding of QGraphicsView or in QGraphicsView itself <-- That's going to be hard too
What i did not test:
- Sounds, phonon-xine does not compile here :_/ |

Porting to KDE 4.
This is a straight forward port, not a clean port. The most important aim was to "shut the compiler up".
It does compile, and even start, however it does not yet work. |

Implement rudimentary global session management. It saves the URLs, which is the most I dare implement in the stable branch so as to not break anything.
Local session save/restore is not implemented, although some psuedo-code exists for it.
I don't intend to implement this since I don't think any other KDE app does. |

Marcel Wiesweg committed a change to /trunk/extragear/graphics/digikam/libs/widgets/common/previewwidget.cpp:
|
Adapt the line step of the scroll bars to the zoom factor.
For low zoom factors, scrolling with the mouse wheel is still precise, for higher zoom rates the steps get bigger.
This means the approx. the same amount of mouse wheel scrolling is required for to scroll the same span in the original picture, regardless of zoom rate.
For the overall relative speed, I added a factor of 2 which feels good, please report if scrolling steps are too big or too small.

Simon Perreault committed a change to /branches/KDE/3.5/kdebase/konsole/konsole/konsole_part.cpp:
|
Be gentle when killing processes spawned by a konsole part.
In the past, destroying a konsole part always resulted in a SIGKILL being sent to the child process (usually a shell). This in turn could have negative effects such as preventing the shell from writing its history file. This situation was very painful for users of QuadKonsole.
Now a SIGHUP is sent first. We wait up to 1 second for the process to terminate before sending a SIGKILL. The method is copied from the non-part konsole.cpp.
And they lived happily ever after. |

Patch up the includes for the KDE3 network compatibility classes as best as I can without reworking any code, and tell krazy to ignore the fact the files don't include their own headers first.
I don't think it's worth fixing these properly, especially given that netsupp.h isn't installed, k3socks.h isn't a public interface (you even have to define I_KNOW_KSOCKS_ISNT_PUBLIC to use it), and the syssocket.h thing is a peculiar work around for some stupid preprocessors and k3socketdevice.h doesn't need it to be used by users of the library (syssocket.h isn't installed). |

Replace by a single autodetect-device button on the device page under general in the config dialog. Autodetect still crashes, but that's a separate problem. |
