Issue 54

deep-copy all strings before giving them from the background-parser to the foreground, this hopefully fixes the crashes some people are seeing with the new c++-parsing features

Substitute shell variables with real values. Note: The shell variables need to be set when starting KDevelop

Also fix a small bug along the way wrt. opening include( foobar.pri ).

Remove the need for restart when changing album thumbnail size in setup:
- add method to set thumbnail size in AlbumThumbnailLoader (clean cache etc.)
- add signal from AlbumThumbnailLoader signalling the need to reload all thumbnails
- connect to this signal in the relevant classes

(bug is now really fixed)

Fixed a precision problem that produced some artifacts when zooming images in the preview and canvas since a wrong tile was chosen when painting.

Limit the border width of an ellipse so it doesn't extend beyond its own edge

Make legend respect font color

Correctly handle 'advance one screen' when in 'read to end' mode

handle superscript or subscript at start of label

More checking to avoid potential crashes. Could happen in case of bad timing, the device is already gone when the model is asked info about it.

Make encoding detection engine public (KEncodingDetector) part of kdecore.
Now, together with structurized KCodecAction, it can be used in any app to provide encoding detection magic to the average user.
(this, however, mainly defines interface, and the actual heuristics is subject for the improvement)

Integrate this feature into katepart and back into khtmlpart.
Now go to katepart open/save configuration page and make you choice!

Improve detection heuristics for Cyrillic and Western European (almost 100%!) along the way

TODO: It already checks for html and xml tags, so check also for \usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}

Maybe it will take advantage of 150kb libenca someday, when its cyr detection heuristics become more sophisticated and the humans get terabytes of RAM in their brains^Whomes

Fixing anlog the way palindromic bug 55355

- added some entities
- removed the entities used in url kde-look.org since here "KDE" doesn't need extra accentuation

There are no global entities for IceWM or deKorator, so I left them at that.

Thanks Natalie for the report.

Fix focus with RMB/Put Into Run Dialog. I didn't even know K-Menu could do this.

work around solaris < 10 PAM breakage. will backport immediately.

give the hack a few seconds to exit.

Make KMail remember the SMTP password.
Thanks for the patch Luigi.

Bug 144040: Prevent pre-alarm actions being executed multiple times when alarm is triggered

Set the lame encoding to VBR/ABR when choosing a quality level.

Improvements to the parameter list editor:
- Given icons to buttons.
- Added "move up" and "move down" actions to change ordering of parameters.
- Allow scrolling through the parameters with up/down keys.

Added a quick and simple calculator. This replaces the "plot value" tool.

A search bar for KWordQuiz

Added the following commands to KTurtle: pi, tan, sin, cos, arctan, arcsin, arccos, sqrt, exp.

Don't bother trying to be clever about the order that functions/constats are loaded in (see bug 143747); instead just reparse everything once everything is loaded. This solves complex dependencies such as constants being defined in terms of functions, etc etc.

New Earth Satellite tracks!

The display shows a curve across the sky, which is the path of a satellite over the next hour from the current location. The color of the curve can be modified, and you can toggle whether satellite tracks are drawn in the Solar System tab of the Options window.

TODO:
+ Right now, only three satellites are included: HST, ISS, and UARS. Many more are available, these are just for testing the feature.

+ Need to add satellite data to the Get New Stuff mechanism

+ Add tickmarks to the tracks, indicating the time of the passage

+ The path should be darkened where the satellite is in Earth's shadow (this information is already available, it's just a matter of using it).

+ Make thickness of the line proportional to brightness of the satellite?

Add an option to force the printing of the page rasterized as image instead of converting PDF commands to PS commands.

This "decreases" printing quality as the thing you print is no longer vectorial, but it is useful for printing files that would fail otherwise because our PDF->PS converter is not as perfect as it should be.

rewrite the pdf analyxer using poppler-qt4 frontend

Splash screen messages:
Remove messages for every single plugin - no one can read them anyway, they are displayed to fast.
(for KIPI plugins, they are emitted when the actions are plugged, not when the plugins are loaded - very fast. For image plugins, we could have messages when loading - slower, but they are still too fast)

Do not display "Reading database" when in fact KIPI plugins are loaded.

Introducing the CollectionManager.

This is the first step to support a collection spread over multiple locations
(multiple library paths in current wording).

The CollectionManager implementation is mostly a fake though, only one location is supported.

A real implemenation requires a database table, and the KDE4 Solid API.

These are the places where new albums are created.

When the user chooses to create a new album under root, in the future, there are two possibilities:
(1) ask under which album root path to create
(2) have one default path

Currently, CollectionManager::oneAlbumRoot() is used, which is option (2).

Added start of a todo for 2DView and KML support.

Add fancy date format option to formatDate() and formatDateTime().

The old forms of these methods are marked as deprecated, to give time to convert the rest of KDE. The deprecated methods will be removed next Monday.

Added Rafael López's item categorizer into Dolphin (it's currently deactivated in dolphiniconsview.cpp until it's in shape for the public).

Use a splitter so that the user can resize the output window/treeview. Patch by Shane Richards

fix #144021: show free space in GB instead of used space in percent

new version of optical drives.

Add support for dimming of inactive windows (accessibility).

Convert ShowFps effect to plugins.

Some work on the indexless indexreader.

Add the ability to analyze mpeg video files.

Renamed OntologyLoader to OntologyManager.
Reimplemented the OntologyLoader as a replacement statement reader:
* The NepomukOntologyLoader reads ontologies from the RDF store
* The DesktopOntologyLoader parses ontologies from RDF/S/NRL files installed in KDEDIRS/share/apps/knepomuk/ontologies
* The FileOntologyLoader reads an ontology from one specific file.

Using libKonto to compare used resource types. Thus, now two resources can have the same identifier if they have different types. Different types, however, means that the types are not in the same branch of the type hirarchy.
Example: Resource( "test", "nie:File" ) == Resource( "test", "nie:File" ) != Resource( "test", "nao:Tag" ) == Tag( Test" )

Convert zoom and videorecord to plugins.

Reorganized konqueror configure dialog, made it hierarchic: no more scrolling the messy plain pages list.

Moved tabs options out of 'web behaviour' to new General page as they apply to both filemanagement and web-browsing modes.

changing colors

add support for OLE property streams. currently we only extract the string fields, its easy to do more though

add support for extracting images from microsoft powerpoint files.

Improve look of font thumbnails.

port style KCM module:
* Qt4 UI file -> style preview looks a lot better in some styles :)
* layout modification
* code cleanup* remove QT3_SUPPORT and port KDE deprecated code

Add incremental updates of newsgroups.

Start working on the drag and drop. Moved stuff into position. Re-enabled the custom autoOpen routines, because QTreeWidget's autoOpenDelay() does not seem to work.

Finish up drag-and-drop from headers to mailbox...

Issue/1530 - make preferred form of forwarding configurable. Right now, works only with the context menu from the header view. Needs more work if the same is need for readerwin and mainwidget.

Ported to KSystemTrayIcon. Only unsolved details is popup menu with notes list - right now it shows at fixed position because i have no idea how to get on-screen coordinates of tray icon.

kiosk-like setting for admins to prevent a too small imap mailcheck interval
<a href="https://intevation.de/roundup/kolab/issue1640">https://intevation.de/roundup/kolab/issue1640</a>;

Allow the user to cancel kmail connection attempts when the account settings are incorrect (Novell bug 247903).

Added a pics directory and move all icons in there
and made them oxygen icons too.

Add conceptual ChangeTracker to show how to get before and after information using only the document signal.

Its disabled by default; either add the action 'edit_record_changes' to your kwordrc, or alter the m_trackChanges boolean init to true.

Change inheritance to inherit QComboBox after all
- was needed to get the painting right
- and allows the code to be much simple
- unfortunately it also exposes the api of QComboBox which is now defunct

Also changed the popup behaviour so that the slider knob now appears right below the mouse when it pops up.

Refactor saving to account for text frames and groups/layers inheritance.
This merges the design from many months ago with what was in svn.
I also added rudementary saving in kword for testing purposes as well as a silly tag in the TextShape.

Fixed various bugs in the saving of shape data as well.

A text shape is always enclosed in a draw:frame in ODF, so lets write one out if the one calling us has not done so. (yeah! I now save valid ODF that you can load again! ;)

Introducing a new KoCopyController.
The idea here is to enhance the normal KAction generated with KStandardAction::Copy to also work for flake.

I added signals / slots for applications (like krita) that have a selection outside flake.

In KWord I added this and I now see the copy action on the toolbar and it interacts with the flake text plugin perfectly.

Add framework for copying the selection to the clipboard.
What I'm placing on the clipboard is currently just the odf stream with 'text:p' tags etc. Not sure where to find what the actual accepted format is specified.

add opaque overlay support to phonon-xine

* Playlist: menu option to not auto switch to player window

Change Amarok::config to return a KConfigGroup instead of a KSharedConfigPtr.. this gets rid of about 6 zillion warnings. Please give this a bunch of testing, it works fine here but I'm sure I forgot something!

work on the new collection browser to make it use the new Collection/QueryMaker architecture
*it crashes when you try to expand a second level item, so don't try that unless you want to fix them:)
*i have no idea why the local collection is shown twice...

started work on a better handling of the different supported databases. no conditional compiling yet because we are still using CollectionDb

Implemented setting avatar in Telepathy plugin

Also set the myself initial presence to Offline

correct handling of authentication and remote desktop control

add Reverse DCC (Passive DCC) SEND support

Preliminary optional support for XDamage, checked both at compile and run time.Uses less cpu than Qt approach, but visually sucks. I suspect there are too many updates sent to the client, I need to group the rects and create a bigger one when sending the event to the client.

new sounds from nuno povoa

Allow themes to catch wheel events on meters

Add Alchemy format support
Move xyz to Strigi
Fix many string.find query
Remove desktop files

this fixes all the compile errors in libdialogpages and some others.
The next build error is in KompareShell, but enough for tonight..

and god bless whoever wrote KDE4PORTING.html :-)

Add Macromodel-Input support
Add Gaussian-Input support
Add RXN support

* Started working on network play

* Implemented message sending

State of Terror: a new KGoldrunner game ... just when you thought you were safe ...

extend playing board from 14x14 squares to 22x22

Huge amount of EBN fixes. libkdegames should be clean now apart from d-pointers and a few const references missing.

Network play starts working

Refactor: Game and AI now communicates with each other entirely with slots/signals, which makes it very extendable. Someone could write a networking interface and plug it right in where the AI is now, and it would work the same. Also, one could let two AI's battle each other (demo mode).

Start of high score group support

Speedup artificial delay in AI. (The delay is needed, because the AI is too fast for Qt's signal/slot system -- I don't know why, but without a delay every thing just hangs --, but it obviously only has to be a few millis, not hundreds of millis)

Cool Demo mode.
When bovo starts, it launches demo mode, letting two AI players battle each other.

Special thanks to Carsten Niehaus for the idea

- Move all rendering code to one place - KReversiRenderer
- Add support for background.

Johann, please take a look.

Currently I draw board on top of background with opacity 0.5
Perhaps the board svg needs to be adjusted somehow now that we have a nice background.

And what about cases when window is non square - then plates with balls start to look like ellipses ;)

...tap tap, is this thing on?

Introducing themes!
* changes alignment and background drawing in the QGV to allow themes with bg color other than white.
* clean up ugly code in Scene (width()/width() is rather silly)
* Finally, only use one QSvgRenderer!
* change theme file format to only use one svg
* centralizes theme handling code to One Single Spot(tm) in the ctor of Scene
* introduce new theme "spacy"
default theme is the old "scribble", to change run "bovo -theme spacy"

* The server moves first.
* Playing against someone using the old (patched) client finally works!

Finally, KScoreDialog has got proper support for score groups. It's always had the ability to save your scores in different groups but if you wanted to view them all you couldn't. Now we've got a tabbed dialog without breaking anything (or even changing the API :D). It's not that pretty yet but if you all try it out and give me feedback, I'll do my best to sort it out. Enjoy!

Add support for animations (still no animation code, but the support is there)

Animation continued: Hints fades out when they auto-die after two seconds.
(But not if they are replaced by another hint or by a real move. Then they just gets killed.)

Added sound support

* Added short delay between sent messages.
* kbs is finally compatible with the old versions.

Import of KWelcomeScreen, a new class for games, still in embrional state. It will be a major usability improvement for KDE Games, and will be developed in this branch for a while, until it will be mature enough to live in libkdegames.

It will provide an overlay transparent widget and some buttons, so that the user can easily start a game, without having to browse through all the menus.

This is more or less the idea: <a href="/issues/2007-04-15/files/start-menu.png">http://johann.pwsp.net/wp-content/uploads/2007/04/start-menu.png</a>;

Implemented nick and chat notifications

Improved compatibility with the old kbs: when playing over the network with an old client, the old rules are used: you cannot place ships adjacent one to another, and you cannot shoot near a sunk ship.

* KWelcomeScreen integration in KBattleship (and some new methods added here and there).
* LGPL'd KWelcomeScreen libraries (they were GPL).
* KWelcomeScreen is now built as a library, as it should be. Also added the KDE_EXPORT macro.

Completed themes
* User can now install his/her own themes in $KDEHOME/share/apps/bovo/themes,
and they are detected at startup by bovo. (Next step here is KNewStuff?)
* Rearrange theme structure

Add support for l10n of Theme name in themerc with
Name[de]=
Name[nl]=
Name[pt_BR]=
and so on...

add tls issuer list support, prepare provider for remaining tls features

Do not update the framestack widget when it is not visible.This makes stepping over/in in the debugger much faster.

some intial work on having optimization of the distortion parameters (it works somehow, but it seems I have been wrong in thinking that I could ignore both scale and rotation change :/ )

DB::MemberMap::hasPath(..): Try to avoid recalculating member map closure.

This could make a big difference in database loading time.

Optimize Utilities::shuffle(..) and generalize it by making it templated.

Old version was slow when shuffling large string lists, because it did O(n) times random access operation (namely list[index]), which is linear time. => Total complexity O(n^2).

New version uses array instead of list. This makes random access constant time. => Total complexity O(n).

Initial commit of KDevelop4's new CVS plugin

drop support of ancient umbrello files

Replace "Coordinate System {I,II,III}" actions with "Reset View". The three actions were excessive since the coordinates can be changed quickly anyway; one action to reset the view is enough.

Use the new QSvgGenerator from Qt 4.3 for exporting to SVG. This means that kmplot is now qt3 free!

Merge /branches/work/~dang/kdegraphics/kolourpaint/ -<a href="http://websvn.kde.org/?rev=651305">r651305</a>;(last merged upto):651355 to be up-to-date.

The changes are critical and fix the last 3 months worth of regressions due to KDE 4 kdelibs changes.

If you now update kdelibs for my KColorCells fixes, KolourPaint should work as well (or as badly) as it did back then.

* Make kpColorCells a reasonable size again after KColorCells API changes

* Restore the Tool Box icons: Rename icons from "crystalsvg" to "hicolor" so that they are picked up by the new default KDE 4 theme "oxygen", which inherits from "hicolor". I think this is the correct long-term solution as it works even when the icon theme is changed (please correct me if I'm wrong).

From strace, I found that KDE isn't even looking in the "crystalsvg" folder.

The "icons in koffice" thread on the koffice-devel mailinglist is informative.

* Make Tool Box button size reflect icon size - corrects and clears 'revision 649443, Mon Apr 2 17:07:04 2007 UTC'

* Fight KColorCells selecting cells - now clicking a color cell does not make it turn violet.

Remove the code in the disabled paintCells() that did that for the pre-KDE4 version of KColorCells.

* Minor changes

Branch Kst for v1.5. New work will be done in the branch, and bugfixing with review requirements will remain for trunk. 1.4.1 will be cut from trunk.

Autoresize the "places" item sizes as discussed with Ellen.

We want to fit as many items as possible on screen, while keeping them as big as possible.

Allow the user to hide less used places as discussed with Ellen.
They're shown again dynamically when the user enters ine if the hidden places. We also allow to show them all using the context menu.

Dolphin is now KBookmark* free.

Don't use long for 32 bit types on LP64 platforms.

Now Konqueror can use e.g. flashplugin on x86_64 with nspluginwrapper :-)

more code dupe. whee =) but at least this way we can ship those three tarballs of kdebase.

OK, we can wait 3mn before deleting a tempfile, if it helps with apps that fork on startup like OOo or amarok.

Thanks to Jonathan Marten for the idea and patch.

Now that is really incredible what a fantastic commit Erik landed today in kjsembed.

Man, you fixed _all_ known segfaults within the unittest. More then a lot of thanks!

* Moved libKonto to kdereview. KMetaData now depends on it.
* A little cmake cleanup (very little)

Committing the first version of a manifesto for Marble

A new branch of KMainWindow <> xmlgui decoupling

scrubbing, indenting, styling.
this code was especially messy

Never use contracted words; so replace "Don't" with "Do not".

Also remove the Never use contracted words; so replace "Don't" with "Do not".

Also remove the & as the kdelibs will auto add them, so no need unless there is a special need to choose one key. as the kdelibs will auto add them, so no need unless there is a special need to choose one key.

Creating branch for change tracking development

Changed the order of the main toolbar items around, so that it's easier to reach the important controls (Fitt's law).

Tonight on The English Breakfast Network, your favourite saga of code, love and intrigue: Krazy decides that the includes had better take their place, or else. Will The Programmer help Krazy with getting those headers to move?
And will the Developers stand by idly as the fearsome Lady Autotools forces them to rebuild much, if not all, of their Application?

This and more after a short message from our sponsors...

Added a cute script for exporting PNGs from SVGs in kdelibs. Must be runned from kdelibs/pics/oxygen/scalable.

krep is a file viewer that allows the content to be filtered by regular expressions.

Hi Richard, this is the Italian translator of the Katapult docs.
Sorry for stomping on your turf, but I found that the Katapult docs did not comply with checkXML for reasons trivial enough that I decided to fix them myself. Two problems:

1- There are two couples of date/release tags; probably you just forgot to push Ctrl+S just before finishing or something like that.

2- I took the liberty of inserting your name and mail's entity into the file directly. There is a very good reason for this: Katapult should compile with KDE 3.4 (as according to docs), but those entities are not present in that version. This is a problem typical of packages released independently of kdelibs (KOffice and extragear), that they cannot rely on kdelibs being sufficiently up to date and containing the author entities. In my KDE 3.5.5 your entity is missing, and therefore any compilation attempt would fail at doc-generation time for any KDE <=3.5.5.

Cheers!

Move KSquares to kdegames (part. 3) All done!

Behavior changes:
Now you can advance to the next level only after you've completed all the previous.

But there's still a possibility to navigate between levels without restriction:
launch katomic with "--hackmode" command line option (as discussed with Johann)

Removed that ugly scrollbar from top, added "Previous Level", "Next Level" actions to game menu

Imported Kollision.

Add patch 0166. Contents:

Update QtDBus to that found in Qt 4.3 snapshot 20070414. This is a major update and, fortunately, all source- and binary-compatible.

It includes a couple of bugfixes and introduces two front-end features:
* multi-threading capability
* QDBusArgument created by the user

No regressions are expected, but report any problems you find after updating.
