Issue 25

24th September 2006 by Danny Allen

This Week...

The KDE World Conference, Akademy 2006, kicks off in Dublin. A rewritten version of KTurtle, an educational programming tool, is imported into KDE SVN. ThreadWeaver is moved into kdelibs. Hebrew sounds are added to KLettres to add learning support for the language. Improvements in the OpenDocument format and XML Paper Specification format support in okular. Support for GPS metadata synchronisation in kipiplugins, on which Digikam and KPhotoAlbum depend. Support for calculations containing non-integer numbers (ie. numbers with decimal points) in the minicli (Alt-F2). Modifications made to support using Compiz as a window manager. More work in Memory Monitoring and Network Management in Solid.
The week started as any other week, only with the year-long excitement building to a fever-pitch. The day came on Saturday 23rd, with the start of the biggest event of the KDE calendar, Akademy 2006 in Dublin, Ireland.
Probably the best person to describe the Irish festivities is KDE party guy, Aaron Seigo:
so far this akademy is the best i've been to. why? the energy is terrific, the people are all quite active and the presentations have been kick ass.

we've seen examples of gapless playing of video in 10 lines of code or so, how voip stacks are coming together, hardware information handling, advanced desktop groupware data management, usability engineering process and progress, khtml status ... wow. i haven't seen this much progress in kde in a while. it's like sweeping the dirt off the remains of a bonfire to find it still blazing along.

the frameworks that are coming along are pretty mindblowing. just as kparts brought us things like 10 lines of code to a web browser, these frameworks are opening up the same kind of flexibility and power for other desktop services: media, hardware, desktop widgets and control, voip, messaging, calendaring ...

khtml is going to be killer post-unforking. between safari, nokia, omni, konqueror it looks possible to hit 10% market share for khtml. the feature wins for plugins, svg and more are extremely tantalizing as well. lots of work left on the "unmergification" but it's progressing very well (it renders pages using Qt4 nicely) and generally looks very promising both technically and strategically.

something like kde4 takes a while to get going, but it's finally starting to emerge. that said, there are a ton of items to be taken care of. i was struck during the talks as everyone listed their to-do lists and noted that they could use more developer help to make things progress faster that we ought to collate all these items on the web and start pointing people to it. something to coordinate this evening and tomorrow methinks.

the asia track was also very enlightening. we've got a great foothold in cambodia with the kde localization in that country going amazingly well as well as in india with our 10 month old regional group there. having developers from korea, india, china and cambodia here is helping us all understand the cultural issues as well as the technical. some of the work they are doing is amazing; there are terrific pools of talent and energy that we are only starting to discover when it comes to free software in these areas of the world.
In the interests of further conference saturation-coverage, here are some other viewpoints for your indulgence:Of course, everyone in attendance is buzzing with details about the conference, with Planet KDE set to be a continuous stream of Akademy-themed posts over the next week and beyond, so stay tuned!
The KDE World Conference, especially this year with an Asia focus, highlights the sheer breadth of KDE usage worldwide, often in non-standard configurations. I talked with Diego Iastrubni, a KDE developer and Hebrew translator about Internationalisation (i18n) and Localisation (l10n) issues:
I am the coordinator of the Hebrew translation team of KDE. My main job in KDE, is to get the translations sent by Hebrew-speaking users of KDE into SVN, and fixing many small gaps in most of KDE applications caused in Right-to-Left (RTL) desktops (Arabic, Farsi and Hebrew are written from right to left as you may know).

For example, some of the things I have touched in the last 4 years include: the email display in KMail, the IRC display in Konversation, some widget styles (specially the dot-net style), KWord HTML export filters, the KDE standard action icons, and more. There are also some circumstances in which the layout system reverses the widgets on RTL desktops where it should not - Play/Pause/Stop buttons in media players, time control widgets, etc. I have addressed these issues in most KDE 3 applications. If you are a KDE developer, you have probably talked to me at least once ;-)

KDE has proven in to me in the 4 years I have been involved that, not only that RTL desktops can be a reality, but that in most cases it's a trivial thing due to the support the cool API's provided to us by Trolltech. I would like to thank all the KDE developers who tested their applications with the "--reverse" command-line parameters - this really helps us pinpoint l10n issues - and I would like to especially thank the Konversation team for the patience they have had in the last few weeks with me while I was helping them implement Bi-directional Text (BIDI) support.
Cies Breijs talks about recent happenings in the KTurtle universe, with the news this week that a rewritten version has been imported into KDE SVN:
I removed KTurtle from the KDE SVN trunk/ when the porting of many applications to Qt4 started as I was already working on a rewrite locally. Now, I have imported the fully rewritten KTurtle code is back into trunk. I have written a changelog which details the big changes from the KTurtle that ships with KDE 3 to the KTurtle now in SVN trunk/, which will ship with kde-edu in KDE 4.

Here a small list of highlights from the Changelog:
  • the code syntax has changed, which means that old kturtle programs may not run (after many emails arguing that KTurtle cannot claim to be Logo-compatible, I dropped the affiliation)
  • a lot of interpreter code is now generated, this makes it much easier to add new commands
  • KTurtle has moved from QCanvas to QGraphicsView (Though I do have 2 irritating bugs with it now which remain to be fixed)
  • Also, KTurtle has moved from KatePart to QTextEdit, the highlighter right now re-uses the interpreter's tokenizer class to highlight!
There are also some features from the KDE 3 version of KTurtle that are not yet implemented in the current version; therefore, you may call it is a work in progress. But with this rewrite, I am certain that there are no major issues in the way of growing it into an 1.0 release in the near-future.

All bugs should find their way into bugs.kde.org (make sure to supply the KTurtle component that caused the bug, if any), and if you are interested into some discussions on KTurtle I invite you to the new KTurtle google group!
This week has seen many commits referencing the English Breakfast Network from several distinct committers, but a mention should be given to Thomas Häber, who has been possessed with error-fixing zeal, which is reflected by his 4th place on this week's top committers list.

Bug Fixes

Development Tools

Dirk Mueller committed changes in /branches/work/icecream-make-it-cool/services/scheduler.cpp:

only allow one daemon per IP. This missing fix is probably going to bite is forward and backward in Dublin.

Graphics

George Staikos committed changes in /trunk/extragear/graphics/kst/src/libkstapp:

This makes expressions work in the zoom stack as expected, and even to an extent across the plot dialog. It's a bit strange to have undo work across the dialog and in the main view, but after playing with it, I can see why it feels more intuitive.

Marcel Wiesweg committed changes in /trunk/extragear/graphics/digikam/kioslave/digikamalbums.cpp:

Provide the UDS_LOCAL_PATH entry.
Now the KDE replace file dialog will no longer think digikamalbums:/ is a remote file.

Pino Toscano committed changes in /branches/KDE/3.5/kdegraphics/kpdf/ui:

Make KPDF a bit more friendly for users of RtL languages:
- correctly place the message pane (top-left corner of page view for LtR, top-right for RtL)
- make the mini-progressbar fully usable for both the writing directions
- use the right icons for the previous/next page button (those near the page counter)

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4 Revision 586747

KDE Base

Laurent Montel committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdelibs/kdeui/widgets/ktextedit.cpp:

Not necessary to add spellchecking/tab action when textedit is read only

Robert Knight committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebase/apps/konsole/konsole/konsole.cpp:

Fix tab captions when 'set tab to match window title' option is off.
Tidy up warning dialog shown when exiting with multiple tabs open. Changed some default settings. Ugly frame defaults to off - will probably remove altogether in future.

XonXoff flow control defaults to enabled now that a warning banner has been put in place for when it is activated. 'set tab to match window title' option defaults to enabled.

KDE-PIM

Danny Kukawka committed changes in /branches/KDE/3.5/kdepim/kmailcvt:

Fixed handling if the KFileDialog is canceled by the user and added some more checks if the user cancel the import to get a better interactivity and a faster stop of import.

Features

Development Tools

Anne-Marie Mahfouf committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdesdk/kapptemplate/kapp4:

add new template for kde4 - creates a kde4 app correctly but does not build that yet leaving the old templates at the moment, we'll see if it's worth porting them or if it's better creating new ones from scratch

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (+ 6 more) Revision 587291
David Nolden committed changes in /branches/kdevelop/3.4/languages/cpp:

Add some meta-programming capabilities to the code-completion and navigation-system. It is now able to successfully find template-class-specializations. Right now it understands specialization by type and pointer-depth.

Yet missing:
specialization by numeric constants, enums and constant expressions(will need some constant numeric expression-parsing), and specialization by const and reference(those are easy). Most generic trait-classes from STL work now, so for example STL-iterators work perfectly.

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10 (+ 6 more) Revision 587752

Educational

Jasem Mutlaq committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdeedu/kstars/kstars:

KStars FITS Viewer tool is now working. It features a simpler interface, and uses the powerfull CFITSIO which made life easier as well. I removed the brightness/contrast tool since it was pretty slow and it can be accomplished using the histgoram at any rate, which is much more powerful than any bri/con controls.

This pretty much sums the last _major_ porting effort to KDE4 for the tools I've maintained. Looking forward to improving the codebase now.

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 Revision 587230
Jason Harris committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdeedu/kstars/kstars:

First commit of a simplified calculator module: the Sidereal time module. The major change is that there's no "Compute" or "Clear" buttons anymore; changing any of the data fields automatically updates the output data field. In the case of this module, you can actually modify either the Local time or Sidereal time, and it will adjust the other one to match.

Other changes:

+ using Local time instead of UT (it was always Local sidereal time, so it makes more sense to use LT).

+ Instead of entering a longitude, the user specifies a geographic location from our database.

TODO: I haven't modified the Batch mode yet; I will probably change the
Interactive modes first, then tackle the Batch modes.

Is anyone interested in helping to simplify the remaining calculator modules?

Diego Iastrubni committed changes in /branches/stable/l10n/he/data:

kletteres now speaks hebrew! thanks to Assaf Gordon!
thanks to Anne-Marie Mahfouf (annma) for all her help.

files are GPL, as well as all other material (so claims Assaf...)

BTW, assaf, who's the chick...?

Advanced allows to specify the format in QDateTime syntax.

Brad Hards committed changes in /trunk/playground/graphics/okular/generators/xps:

An initial commit of pixmap rendering. This is very ugly code,
but it does work a bit (well, except for the font loading:

Luboš Luňák committed changes in /branches/KDE/3.5/kdebase:

KDE-PIM

Volker Krause committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdepim/akonadi:

Transaction support and a more or less complete rewrite of the notification handling:

- Add methods to begin, abort and commit a transaction to DataStore.
- Add a QMutexLocker-like class for convenient transaction handling which aborts the current transaction when going out of scope.
- Use transactions for most commands that change the database, they are atomic now, ie. either succeed completely or don't change anything at all.
- Collect notifications during a transaction and emit them only if the transaction has been successfully committed.
- Add notifications for item and collection changes.
- Remove server-side notification filtering, it's not really needed since every item will be monitored at least twice anyway (by its resource and a search provider).
- Include resource and mimetype in the notification signals, allowing filtering by resource and by mimetype on the client side. This will be needed by resources and search providers.

Volker Krause committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdepim/akonadi/server:

Add BEGIN, ROLLBACK and COMMIT commands for managing session-global transaction.

This is usefull for multi-command operations (like deletion) or syncing (since transactions provide a snapshot of the data).

this new code will detect the direction of the message not by the first strong char, but by the most RTL chars on the line.

i also take care of message in which you first address a person (LTR string) at the beginning of the line. IMHO some more work should be put on the direction detection, but that's good enough for now.

It seems Xorg 7.x switches to the more memory efficient DirectColor visual by default. Too bad that Qt isn't prepared for that, so it overruns various buffers and crashes in at least half a dozen places. So enforce the old TrueColor visual.

kprocess and krun already have it, so why not a third implementation of shell quoting? :)
no, seriously:
- this is the proper place, even if it comes handy at the other two locations
- the krun variant is not much loved, as it changes the argument in-place
- the kprocess variant will vanish RSN for reasons not explained herein :)
- this one is by far the coolest (and slowest ...) implementation of all :))

Office
