KDE-CVS-Digest

Weekly View of KDE CVS commits

May 2, 2003

By Derek Kite

This Week:

Fixes to Khelpcenter. Scripting interface for Kstars. Kmail editing improvements and bug fixes. Beginnings of Postgresql support for Kexi. More work on screensavers and desktop locking.

Sebastian Stein sent a note:

I just wanted to give you a short notice, that this week KBruch was added to
KDE Edu CVS. KBruch is a task generator for tasks with fractions. It is a
very simple program focusing on the core idea of a task generator. All
functionality is mostly finished, but some GUI work and of course a handbook
is still need. More information are available on: http://edu.kde.org/kbruch/
or in the ChangeLog and TODO files in CVS.

Accessibility

Features

Gunnar Schmidt committed a change to kdeaccessibility/kmouth

Word completion added to KMouth

I have added a first version of word completion to KMouth. This word completion
is implemented as a subclass of KCompletion which gives the KCompletion exactly
the ten most often used words that start with the last word of the entered
string. In order to do so the word completion needs a list of words together
with weights (how often they are used). Currently this list is generated at
the first start of KMouth by counting the words in the KDE documentation.

cmd interface for plugins

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13

Joseph Wenninger committed a change to kdelibs/kate/part

the xml file supports now strikeOut, underline, backgroundColor and
selBackgroundColor as additional style attributes. The first three are
displayed too, but the selBackgroundColor.

Additionally custom attributes are really derived from the standard ones. You
only need to specify the  values you want to be different from the standard
styles. Two drawbacks at the moment:
*) custom attributes are not loaded / saved at the moment
*) the highlighting configuration dialog doesn't work anymore

One big advantage: attributes in the xml file work again, which have only
worked for some time for people having an old katessyntaxhighlightingrc lying
around

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5

Joseph Wenninger committed a change to kdevelop/parts

Add adaproject and adasupport.

Ian Reinhart Geiser committed a change to kdevelop/parts/appwizard

Added full support for SuperWaba in kdevelop.  This is a pretty rough
template and I have started to consider a real part that will handle
some of the annoying things like downloading to the palm pilot and
doing debugging.

The only part of this current system I really dislike is that any new
files must manually be added to the makefile.  I thought about a
Makefile editor, but my brain started to cry.

It is feasable that if I make a full SuperWaba part then I could use
automake, but I like the advantage here that the project can be
selfcontained and distributed as is.  Either way well see, this works
for what Im doing now so Im happy.  Feel free to kick it arround.

Diffs: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9

Educational

Features

Jason Harris committed a change to kdeedu/kstars

Added ScriptBuilder tool. It "mostly" works, although it still needs
quite a bit of polish :)
This tool provides a point-and-click GUI for building complex DCOP scripts for
KStars. The Tool window is split into a palette of all available DCOP functions,
and a working script area where the selected functions for the current script
are displayed. There are widgets for modifying the arguments of each selected
function in a sensible, robust way.

Basically gs version 6.5x with x < 3 and 7.0x with x < 4 as well as
anything before that are unusable given security concerns.

Kde-Pim

Features

Ingo Klöcker committed a change to kdepim/kmail

Smart splitting of quoted paragraphs. It's best to explain this with an example:
Imagine you want to comment on the first part of the following quoted paragraph.
> KMail rules! But I miss the following feature. ...
Now all you have to do is the following: Place the cursor after the !, press
four times Return, go up two lines, type your comment. KMail will automagically
add the quote indicator before "But I ...".

This patch is based on a patch by Laurent Montel <lmontel@mandrakesoft.com>.
But his patch didn't work as I expected/desired it to work (see my reply to
his message) so I had to change it quite a bit.

Reply-To headers and the Sendmail folder were all overwritten by the values
defined in the identity. Now the message that is sent again will have exactly
the same headers as the original message (except for the Message-Id of course).

Joseph Wenninger committed a change to koffice/kexi

That's a really large commit:
1) kmultitabbar.* synced with kdebase/kate/lib
2) kexiDB interfaces are now LGPL
3) new KexiDBUpdateRecord: This allows modifying more than one field at a time
   during updates or inserts
4) KexiDBTable caches now fields and primary keys of all existing accessible
   tables
5) project handlers are ported to use that new interfaces
6) quick and dirty port of the mysql plugin. There is still much old code in,
   which should be removed / adapted.
=====
There  are still some minor API cleanups planned, but they should be more or
less painless. The old code, which will stay,  must be reviewed, because I
noticed a lot of mem leaks in there, which makes me believe that there might
still be many allover the codebase
