This Week...

Many changes in KDE-PIM; gpgme now used in KMail. Knode integration in Kontact completed. A KPilot plugin for Kontact. IMAP addressbook resources, used in Kolab, is complete. And an initial version of a PIM configuration wizard. In Kexi, read-write queries are supported and dragging relations together now works. An KJSEmbed envelopemaker example is available. FileLight can be used in Konqueror. And the usual bugfixes.
According to the KDE 3.2 Release Schedule, the CVS repository will be frozen on Sunday, January 11, in preparation for the release due on the 18th.
Mark Kretschmann announced a version of amaroK:
We are proud to announce version 0.8.1 of the amaroK media-player - the alternative to XMMS.

With this major update amaroK gets advanced streaming media features, better performance, and: it simply looks cool :)

Changes include:
  • Shoutcast metadata support. amaroK can now display the currently playing title when listening to webradio streams
  • Threaded tagreading, optimized for high performance even with very long playlists
  • Revolutionary StreamBrowser module, which makes finding streams as simple as using a radio
  • New animated analyzer modes
  • User interface has been reworked with a new look, modern and clean
  • Better CrossFading support, with very smooth blending between tracks
  • Performance optimizations
  • Compatible with the new KDE 3.2 as well as KDE 3.1

A year ago the details for Kontact (then named Kaplan) were being worked out. The beginnings of Konqueror optimizations were committed.
