Bug Fixes
Accessibility
Made "show keyboard status" a11y-indicator in KDE4 work again.
Step 1 of 3: move to playground (to prepare for review and inclusion in kdeplasma-addons asap :)
Development Tools
Actually unload environment-information.
The reference-count was increased above one while testing, leading to nothing being unloaded.
This finally really _does_ drastically decrease the time spent with cleanup. :)
KDE Base
Fix flash9 crash needed to allow me to watch youtube :)
Patch is partly based on how WebCore works around those case.
Looks as we have the same prob in 3.5.
Ok to backport to 4.1 and 3.5?
Make Oxygen not advertise support for shadow types that it does not yet.
Fallback to default shadows if the decoration doesn't support a certain type.
after so many years, stop lying to the users:
when there is no documentation, say that instead of a false "loading documentation" message
KDE-PIM
Store mimetype in history
Fixes back/forward in history when parts other than KHTMLPart are involved
Office
Improving and sanitizing the reference selection code.
This fixes problems where formula references got incorrectly remembered as a selection upon editing a cell, changing a wrong cell and causing many problems.
Furthermore, enabled signal calling when doing reference selection list updates (no idea why Stefan decided to disable them).
This means that the colored boxes around referenced cells within a formula are actually displayed again.
Also unified the two editing widgets - each of them was using a different code to update cells and such, which led to a mess. Now one of the widgets simply relays all keyboard events to the other, who updates the text in both.
This greatly improves KSpread's behaviour when editing cells.
Some issues still remain - most notably, selecting the text in the toolbox editor will work oddly. I will fix this soon.
So few lines of code, so many improvements.
Yes, I'm good ;)
Multimedia
Fix for very long track or artist names messing up the tag dialog.
Thanks to Andrey Esin for the patch.
Andrey, as you've already contributed so many good patches, are you interested in getting a KDE SVN account?
Make Shoutcast streams update their metadata correctly.
The problem here was simply that the M3U playlist loader wasn't using trackForUrl(), which creates MetaStream::Track objects where appropriate, but would always create MetaProxy objects, which are useless for Shoutcast.
A two liner fix that took me some weeks to track down ;)
Networking Tools
Integrate the rfb event system with qt's event loop instead of running a custom event loop in KrfbServer.
This fixes the major problem that modal dialogs were closing immediately after they were shown, which caused huge usability issues.
Features
Development Tools
Start work on QtTest bindings. Qt::Widget::key_click stub.
* Add support for Mono based kio slaves by extending kimonopluginfactory.
* Add a kio_monodoc example kio slave. It needs monodoc installed and accessible through 'pkg-config --libs monodoc'.
You can then access the mono documentation by typing e.g.
monodoc:/T:System.Object
monodoc:/N:System.Reflection
in Konqueror's address bar or using kioclient from the command line.
Simply monodoc:/ will bring you to monodoc:/N:System
Initial support of storing the list of loaded plugins in the session.

- First part of the Historic Map from 1689.
Big Thanks go to Magnus Valle who has created the plate carrée map by doing the time consuming work of morphing the grid of the file: <a href="/issues/2008-11-02/files/Image:World_Map_1689.JPG">http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Image:World_Map_1689.JPG</a> (Public Domain data)
Here comes the 2700x1350 resolution. The full resolution (5400x2700) will be available from the server in a few hours hopefully.
KDE Base
Show the iconsize of zoom sliders as tooltip (code shamelessly stolen from Rafael's patch in kfilewidget ;-))
new theming capabilities into the bar meter widget
allow tips to autohide; having them just stay there forever and ever is an annoyance.
some tips need to be permanent to be useful though (e.g. on the clock) so introduced a way to make that happen.
needed to get this in before we go BC =)
re-post unused keypresses with modifier keys in insert mode.
this makes kate short cuts like like ctrl+q work in insert mode.
If an key unsupported by Qt is encountered print a warning and cancel the recording.
I have no such key so i couldn't test this :-(.
Initial support for painting the new wind arrow svg.
Need to adjust the paint positioning better
* Inform the user about what is going on via KNotification
* Use the new Soprano index feature allowing to index the type of resources. Thus, we do not get classes and properties as results anymore.
something i've wanted for a bit: autohide on fade. perfect kind of "i don't have to think to add this" kind of feature to fill in my boredom during meetings full of powerpoint presentations ;)
Get this to actually work at least somehow, based on polkit-grant.
UI parts still need to be done.
Here comes your dragndrop support
Refactoring: Store the passwords needed for syncing/closing open wallets in the backend instead of the daemon class.
Security bonus: Now we're able to only store the passwords' hashes.
Make building the backend tests possible again while adapting to the changes in the backend API.
Show symlinked wallets in the list of wallets.
While I don't think this is really all that useful (after all you'd rather symlink ~/.kde4/share/apps/kwallet) opening symlinked files has been possible all along. Now they're also shown.
add a kfilterproxysearchline, which operates on a QSortFilterProxyModel.
The existing classes don't do that.
Mailody and kdepimlibs/akonadi will be the needed two users.
KDE-PIM
display enclosures in the viewer
Office
make all krita layers correspond to a flake layer : this makes layer locking working !
Multimedia
Refactor increase/decrease volume.
Resolve 2 TODO items (missing functionaity on capture volumes).
Add OSD, as discussed on kcd.
Fix one more show-window-on-start issue.
Bugfix: Let KMix only show GLOBAL shortcuts for the volume actions.
Add "Import Collection" button to the collection settings widget
Support for importing tracks into a collection-less amarok.
Required a bit of trickery and imho this could be done more correctly.
I had to expose insertTracks() and insertStatistics() of SqlCollectionLocation to do this, as well as allow MetaFile::Track objects to have some virtual attributes set (score,rating,first played,etc) in order to pull them out later with the Sql ScanResultProcessor.

Optimization
KDE Base
Improve the selection performance of the details view by factor of 5 (patch provided by Simon St. James).
Highly speed up code-completion with a very long completion-list. Steps to achieve this:
- Don't use indexOf(..) in the row list when inserting items, instead do a binary search using qUpperBound
- Cache the filter-text
- Don't do a complete re-sort after creating the groups, the order is already consistent after the group-creation.
The functionality to allow reverse sorting was removed on the way, it was too much complication for too low benefit, coming in the way.

Development Tools
Better tracking of the context-history.
Whenever any kind of jump is performed, be it from navigation, from quickopen, or whathever, then a history-entry is inserted for the start- and for the end-position of the jump.
This makes the history actually useful and reliable, because it always brings you to your last position in the other document.
This is especially useful in the "browsing" mode, since it brings the convenience of web-browsing.

- Adding Henry's idea of an "accurate coastline".
Disabling the placemarks as I see a tsunami of bug reports coming otherwise.
begin refactoring the Parley main window
The goal is to have a common main window and components for the editor, the practice window and the welcome screen that are merged into the main window with xmlgui.
The first step was to rename ParleyApp to ParleyMainWindow, I also copied the ParleyApp code to a newclass called Editor.
The next step will be to separate main window code from editor code.
Graphics
first attempt to port the picasa export plugin to Qt4
- both ui files have been ported
* some widgets have been replaced by their KDE counterpart
* there still is some Qt3 stuff in them, I don't know what this is:
'#include <Qt3Support/Q3MimeSourceFactory>'
It seems to be generated by designer all the time
- new headerfile 'newalbumdialog.h'
Unfortunately I'm not able if the plugin works, I have no picasa web account. So please test it, maybe everything is broken now :-)
(Have I mentioned that I hate ui files? Guess not...)
added Inkscape project files for dpopmenu side image
I think it is much easier to change text that has been rotated in an Inkscape project, because you can edit it directly.
In a Gimp project it's not possible. Also the output is much more crisp, the font is not so washed out.
I guess we should remove the Gimp project files...
In addition we could merge both Inkscape project files and work with layers.
Since we have same version numbers for digiKam and showFoto, we could put each app name on its own layer and just export the appropriate one when saving the new image.
Integrate InvisibleButtonGroup from Gwenview.
Maybe a candidate for kdelibs?
KDE Base
Show GHNS download dialog on start if no comics installed.
With multikey shortcuts things are much more complicated.
We can have manyconfliction actions.
Take that into account on conflict checking.
Restore behaviour (I don't have an old version to check against, though!) - if CTRL is pressed when initiating elastic band, respect the item selection at that time while dragging the band.
improve goto command and make it possible to omit the keyword "goto"
* make it possible to give goto a number prepended with a minus or plus sign to jump that many lines back/forward in the buffer
* don't give an error message if a number greater than the number of lines in the file is given. instead jump to the last line. 'goto 0' will go to line 1.
* make it possible to omit the 'goto' keyword. in other words: the command '123' will go to line 123. '-10' will go 10 lines up and so on.
Add file extensions if those lazy users request it ;)
Thanks to Jean-Baptiste Mardelle (jb kdenlive org) for the patch.
try to avoid some whiteflicker (yes, i'm taking the german method for creating words and using it in english. bwuahaha!)
KDE-PIM
Don't hardcode defaults.
This allows to improve/upgrade the KResource migration tool without changing kresources.
Since the binary format which is offered by the old vcard resource doesn't work, both practically (I'm not even able to create a simple test file) and theoretically (no support for photos and sounds, various backward compatibility issues, etc.), we will not provide migration for that and probably drop it for KDE5.
Until then the compat bridge can be used to manually move contacts for the extremely unlikely case someone is still using this format.
Remove the KMenu on the add button of the kcm.
Replace it with the beautiful akonadi resource selection dialog.
Removed all the obsolete code.
Akonadi provides some cool overlay widget which can be used to disable widgets when Akonadi is not running.
I used this in the configure dialog for the Akonadi based conduits and removed all unneeded checks.
Office
make default characters color to be black (instead of defaulting to whatever system default which is problematic for white-on-black color scheme which result in kword and kpresenter writing white-on-white text)
Multimedia
Copy cached artwork from Amarok 1.4 to Amarok 2.
This uses a pretty hackish method to find the old images: find Amarok 2 save directory, then switch .kde4 with .kde. Better suggestions anyone?
Collection browser: Use an intelligent natural sort algorithm which isn't necessarily a lexicographical comparison.
Eg: "Symphony 2" < "Symphony 10"
Patch by Nicholas Wilson
@nick: sorry it took so long to apply this patch.
a combination of new years and me being overseas directly after that obviously contributing factors to overlooking your patch :)
Add missing i18n, as discussed with translators.
Note to Amarok devs: Translators say, missing i18n must _always_ be fixed, even in string freeze.
The renaming from "Master" to "Front" confused too many people.
Also it looks like we only have a hit ratio of about 50%. => Removing the renaming line from the XML profile.
The VolumeUp key on my USB headset worked, but not VolumeDown, which is definitely not nice to my ears :)
Merged the increaseVolume and decreaseVolume slots into one convenience function to get rid of copy/paste code and bugs where volumeUp behaves differently than volumeDown.
Activate the "Last Played" track items with single click, instead of double click.
Much more intuitive this way.
Death to the double click, I say!
new last.fm code for the last.fm service.
basically, this replaces our old last.fm code drop from the 1.4 client with the new modular liblastfm from max at last.fm. currently the library is included here in-source, and we are compiling it as a lib and linking to it internally.
as soon as they can, last.fm will release it as liblastfm, and amarok will depend on it. for now, and 2.0, this will stay in-source.
note that i include a FindLibLastFm.cmake that is not being used, as soon as we switch to the external lib we can just switch to searching for the external lib w/ no hassle.
NOTE: *please* test.
i've tried to stress it as much as i can, but i can't think of all the edge cases. break it!
this should fix a number of bugs with the old client.
there is 1 bug that i know of with this code, and i have email max.
After much debate, I am switching the track grouping to use, for now, name based matching.
This is very much a temporary solution and should be fixed properly after 2.0.0.
The motivation for this change is that mmany scriptable service, tracks loaded from the file browser or track recieveing their metadata from a stream was not grouped together using pointer based matching.
Fixing it The One True Way (tm) now would require some large changes that would likey break other stuff, so in the interest of getting a release out the door, this will be the way it works for 2.0.0.
The logic is quite simple, and it uses both album and artist names ( if available ).
Tag amarok 1.94.
Made Amarok compile/work with latest libplasma trunk (<a href="http://websvn.kde.org/?rev=878420">http://websvn.kde.org/?rev=878420</a>).
This was _a lot_ of work since they renamed many classes, changed around stuff, etc.
I did my best to port it all, but you might notice a few regressions. I will try (hopefully with your help) to fix the problems ASAP.
Known problem: Only 2 containments active, instead of 4. Reason unknown.
One could argue that we shouldn't bump libplasma (for fear of regressions), but on the other hand the new version also contains many bugfixes.
And we need to bump it anyway at some point, and the longer you wait, the harder it gets.

Utilities
Rewrote kio_settings so that it actually works.
* Splitted out a kio_applications since the code has nothing in common anymore
* Used the logic from systemsettings for extracting a category structure out of ksycoca and putting the config modules into that.
Move partition manager from playground to kdereview.
Large code movements, a.k.a The Big Nightly October Refactoring of KByteArrayView
* refactored and renamed:
KByteaArrayView -> AbstractByteArrayView + ByteArrayColumnView
* renamed:
KDataCursor -> ByteArrayTableCursor
KDataRanges -> ByteArrayTableRanges
* made KByteArrayDisplay a complete layer to the used view
* ported all controllers and tools to use KByteArrayDisplay, not the byteArray widget
Now on to make ByteArrayRowView happen...
