Mark Kretschmann announced version 1.2.4 of the amaroK audio player:

ChangeLog relative to amaroK 1.2.3:

FEATURES:
  • Queue selected tracks shortcut, Ctrl+D. (BR 83675)
BUGFIXES:
  • The first engine entry in the config dialog was always blank.
  • If you filtered by more than one word in Collection Browser, adding expandable items (eg: artists or albums) wouldn't work. (BR 100150)
  • Updating the collection without any changes being made to it kept the Update button disabled forever.
  • Application freezes when switching shoutcast streams. (BR 103890)
  • MusicBrainz lookup was not escaping quote characters. (BR 103740)
  • Fixed crash when clicking the "clear" button in CoverManager's filter widget.

As of now Kile, a LaTeX environment for KDE, version 1.8 is available for download from: http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/kile/kile-1.8.tar.bz2?download

Bug Fixes
Development Tools
Richard Dale committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebindings:
* Removed unused Qt::Internal functions
* Added KNS:: to the namespaces expected by the rbkdeapi tool
* Introspection via Object#methods, public_methods, protected_methods and singleton_methods
or Module#constants, instance_methods, protected_instance_methods and public_instance_methods
now all include methods from the Smoke runtime. This fixes part of the request in bug 105772, but
still not enabling 'respond_to?' to be used with Smoke methods.

Graphics
Nicolas Goutte committed changes in /trunk/KDE/kdebase/kioslave/thumbnail:
Allow to extract the error messages (even if there are supposed to be internal)
(Indirectly bug #90629)
Diffs: 1, 2 Revision 416025

Nicolas Goutte committed a change to /trunk/KDE/kdebase/kioslave/thumbnail/thumbnail.cpp:
Try to fix the thumbnail protocol
- HACK: guess variables like mime types, maximal size and so on...
(Also which plugin to use (code from kdelibs/kio/kio/previewjob.cpp))
- A QImage in a QDataStream is *not* a PNG file.
- Prepare to use KInstance
(Works, except that work-around code for the use of QPixmap would be needed)
CCBUG:90629
(This does not close the bug, as pointing thumbnail: to a directory give still
a silly error message.)
(As for browsing confortabily thought the thumbnails, there seems to be
absolutely no code.)
Diff Revision 416054

Nicolas Goutte committed a change to /trunk/KDE/kdebase/kioslave/thumbnail/thumbnail.cpp:
As applications are supposed to get thumbnails through the thumbnail: protocol,
I suppose that it is bad idea to change the ouput format (at least before KDE4)

So choose the output format depending on the parameters:
- if there is no parameter return a raw PNG image
- if there are paramaeters, return a QDataStream
(Still a HACK, but might help until KDE 4.)

Rick Chern committed a change to /trunk/extragear/graphics/kst/devel-docs/plotdialog_new.ui:
Draft proposal UI for bug 96238.

- the x and y axis settings are on different tabs
- an additional "transform opposite axis" setting can be used to specify an expression for transforming the axis opposite to the main one- option to have tick marks inside plot, outside plot, or both

Diff Revision 416310

Nicolas Goutte committed a change to /trunk/KDE/kdebase/kioslave/man/man2html.cpp:
A few code change, especially on the operating system requests
(This does not fix these requests.)

As I seem to have to correct many mdoc(7) requests always nearly the same way,
I think that a new approach is needed than the one I used yesterday.

Nicolas Goutte committed a change to /trunk/KDE/kdebase/kioslave/man/man2html.cpp:
