This Week...

KPresenter can save to Sony Memory chips for use with Sony projectors. KOrganizer implements recurring todo's. KPilot implements autodetection of devices. KDE now supports relocation of installation directories. Work continues on KDevelop documentation browser, allowing documentation search from cursor. KJSEmbed adds more signals and examples.
Brad Hards kindly sent an update on the happenings in kdenonbeta:
kdenonbeta is the module for all of the code that is not yet fit to be run through beta testing. Some recent additions include:
  • Hamish Rodda's libkrdf - a library and a couple of test applications for the Resource Description Framework (http://www.w3.org/RDF/).
  • Ian Reinhart Geiser's daleks - a retro styled game implemented using KJSEmbed (http://xmelegance.org/kjsembed/).
  • Pupeno's UserManager - a tool for adding, editing and deleting user accounts.
  • Alexander Kellett's talen - a vocabulary trainer.
Mark Kretschmann announced a new beta version of amaroK:
The amaroK team announces version 1.0-beta2 of the amaroK audio player

With the beta release series we hope to generate much feedback, bug reports and wishes, leading to a high quality final product. Please test and enjoy :)

=ChangeLog=
  • FIX: Crash on AMD64 due to assumption about pointer size.
  • CHG: SQLite library sourcecode now included with amaroK.
  • CHG: The collection-thread now inserts its data in a temporary database while scanning, which allows us to safely use the collection in the meantime.
  • ADD: URLDrag from Playlist, so you can drag and drop to xmms. Doesn't work with the FileBrowser yet, but it will!
  • CHG: CollectionBrowser now fills the database inside of a thread, resulting in improved performance.
  • ADD: Mini track-position slider in statusbar.
  • FIX: Don't try to crossfade with engines that do not support this feature.
  • ADD: XMMS visualization plugins can be configured with their GUI.
  • FIX: Collection filtering had some regressions.
  • FIX: Loader on some systems not able to start amaroK.
  • FIX: Switching engines at runtime breaking volume control.
  • FIX: GstEngine skipping tracks directly after starting, when crossfading enabled.
  • CHG: Database system now works with linked tables. Saves hdd-space and cpu-time.
  • CHG: If you remove the current song from the playlist, we don't define the next song anymore, but let it be randomly selected (only when random mode is on!)
  • CHG: Random Mode now respects the playlist filter and only picks items, which are currently visible in the playlist. Also removed a crash situation.
  • CHG: Removed the search-token index. Searching now iterates through the playlist, offering direct and specific access to the metadata.
  • FIX: Bug where fill-down would cause lots of extra tags to be written when a search is in progress (BR 79482).
  • FIX: Defect in plugin framework code, leading to a crash on some systems during engine plugin initialization.
  • FIX: Restoring current playlist on startup (BR 79436, BR 79439).
  • ADD: Searching the Collection with a filter.
  • FIX: BrowserWin's QLabels are painted white in amaroK's own color scheme.
