Bug Fixes

KDE Base

Frank Reininghaus committed changes in [kde-baseapps/KDE/4.9] /src:

Find out the main window by calling the parent widget's window() member

KFileItemModel calls the dir lister's setMainWindow() method to make
sure that the dir lister caches authentication data. However, the method
used to determine the main window (qApp->activeWindow()) is not
guaranteed to yield the DolphinMainWindow or the KonqMainWindow. In
particular, if "Split View" is enabled in Dolphin's settings dialog, the
active window is the dialog, and when it is closed, any later access to
the stored pointer leads to a crash.

A better method is to verify that the model's parent is a QWidget and
then use this widget's window(). I had to make a small modification in
DolphinMainWindow to make sure that it also works correctly when the
view is split (the new view container had been created with a 0 parent
previously).

I tested it in Dolphin and Konqueror and verified that the "main window"
passed to the dir lister is really the application's main window.

Boudewijn Rempt committed changes in [calligra] /:

Make sure that if we increase brush size, it gets increased

Some predefined brushes have a default size that gives very small
increments. These increments then don't get added because the brush
size slider only handles two decimals.

Utilities

Jonathan Michael Thomas committed changes in [muon/1.4] kded/distupgradeevent/releasechecker:

Exceptions that MetaReleaseCore throw during a download happen in a separate thread, so we can't catch them.

The root cause of the IOError seems to be the existence of a proxy, and it appears that UpdateManager has a proxy init function. (Poor design on UpdateManager's part...)
This should fix the root cause of this bug, but I fear for other exceptions that could be thrown that MetaReleaseCore won't catch for us...
I'll commit a separate fix to make our KProcess call to releasechecker non-blocking.

Features

Accessibility

Peter Grasch committed changes in [simon] /:

New synchronization protocol

Instead of many small messages, the client will now tell the server
about its data set in one announcmenet. The server will then plan the
synchronization process and only request necessary updates.
Requests themselves have no state and are therefore handled
asynchronously.

Educational

Javier Becerra Elcinto committed changes in [marble] /lib:

Add support for TileMapServer storageLayout in DGML files

Add support for TileMapServer storageLayout in DGML files (it is similar
to OpenStreetMap mode, but y coordinates start at the bottom of the map
rather than at the top).
Changes include a new TmsServerLayout class to transfom the y coordinate
and modifications in GeoSceneTexture::relativeTileFileName to take into
account the new TmsServerLayout (tiles are stored locally with the same
filename as it would have in the remote server, allowing the use of
locally stored maps without changing the filenames).
As a side note, running "marble --tile-id" will show the original marble
coordinates (y starting at top), not the TMS ones, which can be
confusing. Moreover, two textures can be mixed with different
modes (i.e. OpenStreetMap and TileMapService), and only the OSM tile-id
will be shown.

REVIEW: 106533

Frank Reininghaus committed changes in [kde-baseapps/KDE/4.9] /src:

Add a new config option for the icon size in the Places Panel

To change the icon size in the Places Panel to, e.g., 60 pixels, add
the following lines to $KDEHOME/share/config/dolphinrc :

[PlacesPanel]
IconSize=60

A value of -1 means that the standard "Small" size should be used
(which has been the default before this commit).

It is planned to add an "Icon Size" submenu to the context menu of the
Places Panel in KDE 4.10, but we cannot do this in the 4.9 branch
because of the string freeze.

Martin Gräßlin committed changes in [kde-workspace] /:

Move decoration pixmap handling from Client to PaintRedirector

The only task of the PaintRedirector is to redirect the painting of the
window decorations into Pixmaps. So it should actually do this by also
handling the four pixmaps for the decoration. This simplifies the code
as all the logic concerning redirecting the painting is now grouped
together.

Furthermore the PaintRedirector is now a child of the decoration widget,
which means it gets automatically destroyed whenever the decoration is
destroyed - the Client does not have to care about it.

Also the PaintRedirector gets only created if the Compositor is active as
it is not needed in the non-compositing case.

Provide OpenGL over Egl

The Egl backend is decoupled from the OpenGL ES build option which makes
it possible to use it as a replacement for glx.

To make this possible a new build flag is added when egl is available at
compile time and any egl specific code is now ifdefed with this flag
instead of the gles flag. In addition at runtime a windowing system enum
value is passed to the various detect methods to have egl/glx specific
detection for e.g. function pointer resolving.

By default egl is used if compiled with OpenGL ES, otherwise glx is used.
But in the non-gles case the windowing system can be selected through the
new environment variable KWIN_OPENGL_INTERFACE. Setting this variable to
"egl" the EglOnXBackend is used.
