"Pencils down" marks the end of the Summer of Code for 2007. Python highlighting support, with work on a new, handwritten lexer in KDevelop. A data engine and associated Plasma applet for KGet. Start of the Plasma-based Wikipedia and Service Info applets for Amarok 2. Wikipedia integration, and other improvements in the Step physics simulation package. A console added to KAlgebra. New graphical themes for KGoldRunner. XMP metadata support in Digikam. More progress in the unobtrusive search dialog for Kate. Usability work across many applications. No mixer functionality in Phonon for KDE 4.0. The start of development on KChart 2.

Peter Penz writes a quick update on Dolphin:
|
Since the last introduction of Dolphin in the Digest, many improvements have been made. Here is a rundown of a few of the recent changes:
- It is possible to summarize items by a groups (e. g. name, type, size, ...). The following screenshot shows items that are grouped by type:
- A columns view has been introduced:
- File previews can be shown on all views (icons view, details view, column view).
- Panel improvements: a tree panel has been introduced, a terminal panel has been added, the information panel offers NEPOMUK support and the bookmarks panel has been replaced by a places panel using Solid:
- The URL navigator has been improved for non-local urls:
and for sure can be switched to a traditional location editor:
- A Dolphin KPart is available, which allows embedding the icons view, details view and columns view e. g. inside Konqueror.
- Minor usability improvements for the split view (inactive view has a dimmed background, the 'Close' icon reflects which view gets closed):
- Other minor improvements: sorting by type is possible, renaming of a variable number of files, improved configuration dialogs.
For KDE 4.0 we have decided to stop adding features and instead concentrate on stabilizing Dolphin and the employed file-related libraries. One feature which won't make it into Dolphin for KDE 4.0 is an embedded integration of file searching (like in Dolphin for KDE 3, a separate KFind window will be opened for searching). We are not happy about this situation ourselves, but promise to fix this for KDE 4.1.

Paul Broadbent committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdegames/kolf:
|
|
started fixing edit mode: You can now move some things, but much is still very broken. It is now at least usable though :) |

Rafael Fernández López committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kutils:
|
|
Fix inverted tab navigation. Now it works as expected fully with keyboard. If no icons are provided or invalid, do not show them (we only would be getting question marks) |

Bruno Virlet committed changes in /branches/KDE/3.5:
|
Follow RFC concerning ORG property.
The patch will still read the old Department values if they exist but store them correctly. |

Thomas McGuire committed a change to /trunk/KDE/kdepim/kmail/templateparser.cpp:
|
Templates:
- Don't fail when the selection is empty and the pipe command is invoked
- Pipe the entire body through the command instead of just the selection.
This ensures that the body is correctly piped when nothing is selected. |
