This Week...

Query Designer in Kexi now has the ability to switch between visual and SQL mode. KPresenter improves page effects. Krita adds computing histograms. amaroK adds support for streaming over any supported KIO protocol. Many bugfixes in akregator, Kopete and Umbrello.
Eric Laffoon sent an update on the progress of Quanta and Kommander:
I just thought I'd let you know that this week Kommander got tree/detail widget support as well as a lot of enhancements for easier syntax and experimental support for setting pixmaps using DCOP. That will be worked on for next week. Also trees and lists can show icons on list items now too. Next week we will be adding project support, extending the editor with Kommander dialogs for general use and inserting text in the editor, a function wizard and possibly better support for Mainwindow programs and free slots.

Quanta got debugger enhancements including conditional break and a new bottom dock tab to show break information. Linus is out of town this week though and it seems to need a little attention yet. There was major rework done in several areas and one interesting thing is a new project toolbar that currently manages project views very nicely. It's great to make them more visible because they are handy but I think not used by many yet. VPL has flyover information on form elements. Things that are not yet committed but due the first of the week include upload profile trees in the right dock. For every upload profile you have you can open and manage files there and even drag and drop between the project tree and the site upload profile. BTW multiple upload profiles now correctly track file updates. The other thing that is due to go up shortly is event actions, where you can trigger Quanta actions or signed scripts from various events like upload, save, CVS commit and such. there have been a number of security precautions put into the design.

Oh, and one of our most exciting features is in work now. Quanta uses KStuff! So far you can download toolbars and DTEPs, but much more will be coming. The 3.3 release is going to be a great one. Enjoy!
Rob Kaper announced Atlantik 0.7.0 Beta 1 has been released. Atlantik is the KDE client for playing Monopoly-like games on the monopd network. Here are some issues that were fixed:
  • Show configuration options when joining a game
  • Resume token animation after a board resize
This beta release is also included in the kdegames package of the KDE 3.3 Beta 1 release. The stand-alone release announced here contains some additional patches to work with KDE 3.1 and up and allows users to upgrade Atlantik without upgrading all of KDE.
