I just got the stuff we will need for our booth at the “Kieler Open Source und Linuxtage”. The “Kieler Open Source and Linux Tage” will take place on the 1st and 2nd of October at the “Kitz” in Kiel. Read More

Candidate CDs for our RC need testing see the ISO tracker for what needs testing, download (or upgrade) and report back. Ask on #kubuntu-devel or #ubuntu-testing if you have questions. The community team at Canonical have come up with another week of IRC talks, this one is Ubuntu App Developer Week. If you missed it yesterday you can catch the logs of Harald talking about Qt and its unicorn sparkles (from 18:00). Coming up tomorrow (Thursday) is "Widgetcraft" with Harald and "Using Grantlee to create application themes" - Stephen Kelly. Join us on #ubuntu-classroom on freenode IRC for the talks. Read More

In previous "elegance" entries I presented just ideas, without implementation. Readers obsessed in the area of look&feel may remember the proposal for uncluttering tab widget when used in side pane. Any specific fix would be just for Oxygen style, so it is still unclear if starting to code this makes much sense. But. As a low-hanging fruit today I called this code on my tab widget of Kexi side pane: Read More

Julien and I met up in Redmond last week, just before the Exchange Open Specifications event at Microsoft. It was a productive time, where we did some serious planning and a little coding, and learned quite a lot more about the protocols from some of the main developers of Exchange and Outlook.

It is not clear if there will be another update within KOffice (2.2.3) released in 2.2 series, so for convenience of distributors, following recommended patch fixes stability recently identified issue in the default Kexi database engine: Read More

This week I noticed: I am part of Kexi/KOffice Development Team for 65535 hours now. With fine breaks of course. It's possible to check at the bottom of this file. 64k should be enough for everyone. But not for me :) Read More

While relaxing after the hard-working period that was the GSoC, I came across a comment left by Torsten Rahn of the marble team. He wondered whether it would be possible to adapt image warping functionality so that it can be used to morph some old maps. Read More

Tarballs for kdepim-4.4.6 and kdepim-runtime-4.4.6 are now available from a mirror near you. ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/kdepim-4.4.6/src There is no associated kdepim-l10n-4.4.6 tarball since I don't know how to make one -- but there are also no new messages strings so the existing 4.4.5 translations should work.

The KDE API Reference (api.kde.org) web site is now providing ".qch" files suitable for loading into Nokia's Qt Assistant. Look for the "[qt]" links. Currently, auto-regeneration of these files happens on a nightly basis for kdelibs and kdepimlibs trunk, and for kdelibs and kdepimlibs 4.5. More can be added, upon request. Read More

Looks like we'll be creating a kdepim-4.4.6 tarball, with tagging expected this Thursday 9 September. So PIMsters, get your bug fixes into the 4.4 branch as soon as possible. No regressions please. :) And no new i18n strings either. Read More
