Continuing previous successful student projects at the IUP ISI of the Paul Sabatier University, Kévin Ottens writes about efforts this year:
|
So, this year is the third year we're starting such projects. This year we'll have three teams of students. One working on KBugBuster which is going toward a rewrite in Python and modernizing it to handle the new features from the newest Bugzilla. The second team is working on KPresenter, implementing new interesting features in it, in particular for more professional presenters (advanced rehearsal feature, interaction with slides during presentation, and so on). The third team goal is to create Akonadi applications suited for the Maemo platform, they'll have to be suited for this kind of small form factor devices. Nokia has kindly accepted to provide us a few N810's for allowing the students to see behaviour on the real thing.
The teams we have this year:
KBugBuster:
- Client contact: Dirk Mueller
- Technical help: Pino Toscano
- Students:
- Caitline Bonnard
- Julien Bringuier
- Gaël Courcelle
- Kévin Kin-Foo

In a sign of a spreading idea, Tiago Pereira Porangaba introduces similar student projects at a Brazilian university:
|
We are a team from a research laboratory from São Paulo State University, Brazil, called LTIA – Applied Information Technology Lab. For the KDE Project, we are working with some KDE-Edu applications in order to improve usability and educational aspects. More specifically, we have been working with KBruch, KPercentage, Kalzium, and we have plans to contribute to KSudoku as well. Also, we have planned some work about supporting good execution of KDE-Edu applications on KDE Windows, using and testing these applications on Windows in order to find and report bugs.
Since we are a team composed of software engineers and usability experts, with some experience on educational software, we really believe that is possible to improve the educational experience of these software applications using usability work for that. In all software applications we have been working on, we have identified some opportunities to improve the user experience, so we decided to contribute with this kind of working.
We are finishing our work on KBruch, including the "merge" with KBruch and KPercentage and on Kalzium. Our development work is planned to end before the KDE 4.2 hard freeze. After that, we continue just testing on KDE for Windows.
Lastly, we would to say that we are enjoying a lot working with KDE software and community. It has been such a great experience for us.
|

I'll catch up with representives from both groups to check on their progress to date in a few issues time.

For many reasons (like important "real-life" work and including the simple desire for a rest), the Digest has not been published for many weeks now. My plan to get up to date with current commits is to publish the weekly editions as usual on an accelerated schedule, but with no introductory content (as seen in the section above) - especially as this correspondence is often delayed or doesn't reach me at all!
Essentially, I am out of content for these introduction sections, a situation that needs to be remedied for the "current" issues which will be released after the backlog of basic Digest editions. So I ask again that developers who are doing interesting work let me know so that together we can develop introductory features - I will also be sending out some emails seeking content (as I always have done!).
And of course, have a great new year!

KDE-Base |
|
Diego Iastrubni committed a change to /trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kdeui/util/kwordwrap.cpp:
|
This fixes (the worst of) the problems in week view in KOrganizer (and probably other places).
It makes the dimmed characters paint in the correct place, and stops character shuffling.
This leaves minor display problems, like alignment and icon placement, which are of much lower priority.
Patch by Shai berger. |

Fix grave kio bug with FTP: if you delete a symlink to a folder, it would recursively delete the folder (!)
Sounds stupid, but it's FTP which is stupid; the only way to know if something is a link is by listing its parent dir, but this isn't always possible (if no permission to list the parent dir)... -> the URL isn't enough info, we need the KFileItem from the listing. Rather than adding KIO::del(KFileItemList) (and porting a lot of code), I simply grab the KFileItem from KDirListerCache, as discussed with Michael Brade in 2006 for other reasons.
As a side effect, this speeds up deletion (again!) in the case of remote protocols (saves a KIO::stat per toplevel item to delete). |

Rework how we do onchange for input/checkboxes, unbreaking it and simplifying things.
As we only want to fire it in response to user events, this just does it in defaultEventHandler.
Fixes kde-look wallaper settings, and along with Germain's previous fix this covers bug #165607, #170451.
This also doesn't suffer from #148118 |

Andreas Mützel committed a change to /trunk/extragear/multimedia/amarok/src/context/applets/albums/AlbumsModel.cpp:
|
Solved two problems with the preliminary drag&drop support for the albums applet:
- Now the albums and tracks are correctly added to the playlist. Previously adding an album would not do anything at all and dropping a track would add the whole album.
- When dragging an album and (additionally) a track from that album the track is not added twice. |

Soren Harward committed changes in /trunk/extragear/multimedia/amarok/src:
|
Load Service-associated tracks properly on startup
If the playlist is saved with tracks from a Service in it (eg, tracks from Magnatune) when Amarok is closed, we want those tracks to be properly reloaded when Amarok restarts.
This means that the ServicePluginManager has to be loaded before PlaylistModel reloads the tracks, so that ServicePluginManager can register as a TrackProvider for service-related tracks.
This patch forces ServicePluginManager to be loaded before tracks are restored into the playlist.
When the tracks are loaded into the playlist, their associated service is initialized in the plugin manager so that the track can be loaded properly into the playlist.
However, MainWindow also needs to initialize any remaining enabled services so that all enabled services can show up in the servicebrowser.
This patch also adds a check so that when the MainWindow tells ServicePluginManager to initialize all the services, it will skip the services that have already been initialized. |

Roman Jarosz committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdenetwork/kopete:
|
Fix bug 172485: Kopete has full CPU load (freezes) when receiving a long line.
The message.setHtmlBody( message.parsedBody() ); which should cache the emoticons actually didn't cache it and it made it even worse because setHtml is much slower than parsedBody if we have many emoticons (html tags).
So this patch removes this line and adds caching into the parsedBody function.
The great thing is that we don't have to call setHtml which was the bottleneck. |

Refactor KoImageData and KoImageCollection
This fixes the following:
* copy of shapes with a pattern backgound run into an assert
* make copy and paste of images and objects with pattern background work
* fix bug in WMFImportParser to use the image collection correctly. the image collection was not found
* make it possible to add also remote images e.g. over fish://
* make copy and paste of pages with background images work in kpresenter and kivio
Also done
* make sure that if the same picture is added more then once to use the same data for it
* added first unit tests for KoImageCollection
* use the shape saving context to store the images which need to go into the saved store.
* don't stop loading if e.g. a image can not be loaded.
I hope I did not break anything. As far as I can see all works well.
The karbon filters should be tested to see if it is all working as expected.
I also disabled the code in the shapeselector to show the clipboard as it crashes as soon you twice copy a picture. |

Kompare: Finally add support for refreshing diffs to the trunk.

Partly based on revision 418173 by jkeel from 3_way_kompare, also incorporates my followup (revision 871142), the actual implementation of the refreshing reimplemented to work in trunk. |

Add a new Source-browsing using the mouse.
The code-browser has a new toggle-button now, that lets you enable "browse" mode.
In that mode, you can just click uses or special-objects items in the editor, and they will be jumped to, like when browsing a web-page.
Yet missing: Give some better visual feedback when the cursor is over a clickable item, activate this mode by CTRL key. |

First step for having a details view, where only the icon + name act as selectable area (not the whole width of the name column - similar to KDE3).
Thanks to Simon St. James for the original patch!
Currently it is very confusing that although only the icon + name is selectable, still the selection and hovering is drawn above the whole column width. This will be fixed before KDE 4.2. |

First version of configurable pastebin applet
Now we can create multiple backends for the different "pastebin servers" out there. When creating a new backend, one just needs to add it to backend.h and implement server.h API. The backend must emit a signal postFinished(const QString&) with the URL to be displayed in the applet.
Commit also implements another backend (pastebin.com). More to come.
Now we just put the URL in the clipboard, instead of the whole text that is displayed. |

Matthias Kretz committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebase/runtime/phonon/kded-module:

AudioDevice:
- for now every AudioDevice must use the config cache (needed for correct indexing)
- add another key to the config cache indicating whether the device was removed by the user (KConfigBase::deleteGroup doesn't do the job :( )
PhononServer:
- for ALSA virtual devices use the description text as unique ID
- for all devices the uniqueId needs to end with "playback" or "capture"
- handle multiple soundcards that we have no possibility to distinguish (except for the card number, but this number only depends on which card was found first)
- simplify reading audio device properties a bit by removing the type separation
- add functions to allow the KCM to remove devices
- use a 50ms timer to delay device relisting, this get's rid of some unnecessary full relistings when a single device removal/addition calls our slot multiple times |

QEdje's wallpaper plugin is almost working
Some work is needed at QZion because right now we only have access to the canva's widget and in the wallpaper we have just the Painter (different from the edjescript where we have a qgw and we can use a proxy widget).
So if you are going to use this, you need to trigger the wallpaper's repaint all the time to see the animation =P. |

The geonames annotation plugin now prefetches all countries in the background and stores them in Nepomuk.
This allows to disambiguate city names in a rather fancy way: show the *translated* name of the country the city is in after the city name itself.
I don't think anyone would really mind having 23000 something statements of country data in Nepomuk. ;) |

* Components for constructing the new applet popup 3 layers:
* Popup
* InterfaceGroups (that group like interfaces)
* InterfaceItem (single interface in a group)
* ConnectionItem (inactive connections for a group)
* Auxiliary UI, configure button, flight mode etc
* Add RemoteConnection class to encapsulate connections on the service and save us from doing QVariantMap lookups all the time.
* Add ActiveConnection interface for finding out which connection on which service is active, so it can be displayed on the InterfaceItem.
Applet still displays the old networkmanagerpopup I blogged about, InterfaceGroup is still missing. When that is finished I will rewrite NetworkManagerPopup to use the new components. |

David Nolden committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdevplatform/language/duchain:
|
- Move the unloading/cleanup completely into a background-thread
- Do the cleanup in 2 phases. One "soft" phase, where no write-lock is held over the whole time.
This prevents the UI from blocking, the only problem is that it doesn't guarantee disk consistency.
Thus, after this phase, do the same again, this time with a complete write-lock.
We stop all parsing threads before the first phase, so the changes that happen are minimal.
Thus we only have to write very few data in the second phase, hold the write-lock for a very short time, thereby preventing the UI from blocking while waiting for a read-lock.
This fixes the annoying and very long UI lockups that happen time by time when a lot of parsing is going on, like parsing a whole project. |

Todays topic is speed!
Commiting two very effective optimizations to the gui loading code.
One that stops doing split, join all the time when searching for duplicates, which halves(!!) the loading time for opening qt's enormous tarball.
Another one uses a shortcut that assumes the next file to be read is probably from the same directory as the same one (correct about 90% of the time).
Loading time is now almost the same as just listing the file contents with tar. |

Beginnings of a first run tutorial.
Idea below.
Yes, this will massively break string freeze.
Yes, it is worth it.
What the code currently does is, if you have FirstRunTutorial=true in the General section of your amarokrc, it will upon startup fade a semi-transparent overlay on top of the main window, then after a few seconds kill itself.
Here's my vision (read the comments in FirstRunTutorial.cpp too): Bottom right has next and prev buttons (like QGraphicsWidgets with QPushButtons); top right has close button. Next and prev flip through different "pages" of the tutorial. (Code has some ideas as to how to make this as painless and code reuse-ful as possible).
Arrows pointing to relevant parts of the window along with descriptive text fade in and out as pages transition.
Perhaps some buttons to launch a 1.4 database importer and/or collection setup as well.
For each page, have a description of a feature of Amarok and an arrow pointing to the relevant place. For instance, an arrow pointing to the left sidebar at the level of the Internet tab would then describe what's inside of that tab.
There's also no reason that pages couldn't activate various parts of Amarok as well, such as describing a tab, then on the next page activating it and describing subcomponents.
Leo and Seb and I think a few more are totally into the idea and think it's way worth breaking string freeze.
I'm committing it now because my time this upcoming week to hack doesn't look great, so I'd love help, even though i'd have loved to have it a bit further so that it'd be more obvious what I was thinking (hopefully the text above will be enough instead :-) ) |

Porting kdetv against KDE4 :
- migrating old qt3 ui files in qt4
- migrating old qt3 class to the qt4 style (class FooImpl : public QWidget, public Ui::Foo)
- Using KConfigGroup instead of KConfig, setGroup and friends
- kdDebug and kdWarning became kDebug and kWarning.Basicaly, this is just plain work in progress, nothing is working for the moment. |

Remove KNewsTicker.
It is broken in the current state, and there is another RSS applet for plasma in trunk.
8 years in KDE trunk is a nice time; rest in peace now :)
As agreed by Frerich Raabe (maintainer) and Aaron. |

Move the indirect/direct paintop option to the paintop -- with a minimum of refactoring!
The rest of the refactoring, namely, making the paintop responsible for the actual painting mode implementation (or figuring out a plugin system for painting mode implementations...) will come with 2.1. |

Big API change in Cholesky module:
* rename Cholesky to LLT
* rename CholeskyWithoutSquareRoot to LDLT
* rename MatrixBase::cholesky() to llt()
* rename MatrixBase::choleskyNoSqrt() to ldlt()
* make {LLT,LDLT}::solve() API consistent with other modules
Note that we are going to keep a source compatibility untill the next beta release.
E.g., the "old" Cholesky* classes, etc are still available for some time.
To be clear, Eigen beta2 should be (hopefully) source compatible with beta1, and so beta2 will contain all the deprecated API of beta1. Those features marked as deprecated will be removed in beta3 (or in the final 2.0 if there is no beta 3 !).
Also includes various updated in sparse Cholesky. |

Started the third chapter of the tutorial on linear solvers.
It is only a first draft and I think it should be reorganized a bit in 2 parts:
1 - a compact table summarizing the main API and its use (this is what would expect an "expert" user)
2 - a discussion about the various algorithm in Eigen to guide the newbies in linear algebra
Currently I mixed the discussion with the API, but it is still better than nothing ! |

Another bit of love for keyserver management in kpgp.
- First of all I fixed adding, changing the default, deletion and editting of servers.
- Only the additional servers are stored in the kgpgrc config file.
- Made the serverlist widget a bit bigger.
- Enabled sorting. |
