The KOffice team is happy to announce a new alpha version which demonstrates what KOffice 2.0 will offer. Along with bug fixing, some interesting new features were introduced, such as improvements in KSpread printing, or a new paragraph tool for KoText. For more details see: the announcement, the release notes, the changelog or the visual tour.

The KOffice team is proud to announce the 8th alpha of the KOffice2 platform. This release shows the ongoing committment of the KOffice developers to create a great version 2 with lots of bugfixes and new features; For more details see: the announcement or the release notes. Highlights in this release is support for all major platforms (Windows, Mac, Unix), much improved ODF support and start of sound support.

The First release of KOffice 2.0 alpha for Windows is now available for testing. This is one of the most visible steps to bring the KOffice suite to Windows users. The KOffice package can be installed using the KDE Windows Installer. There are still some rough edges in the packaging, since you will have to copy the dll files from kde4/lib to kdek/bin directories which contains the executables. More information about installing KDE applications on Windows can be found in KDE on Windows/Installation Techbase article.

The KOffice team is proud to announce the 7th alpha of the KOffice2 platform. This release shows the ongoing committment of the KOffice developers to create a great version 2 with lots of bugfixes and new features; For more details see: the announcement or the release notes.

While KOffice has been working on integrating look and feel between applications for the 2.0 release, the logos and artwork for the individual KOffice applications has been unchanged for a long time. This has finally changed with the introduction of a set of KOffice logos. Read more on the dot, the KDE newssite.

The KOffice developers team have received three 3D SpaceNavigators from 3DConnexion. Read all about it at 3DConnexion Donates SpaceNavigators to KOffice.

The KOffice team is proud to announce the sixth alpha of the KOffice2 platform. This release contains improved shared infrastructure including new functionality in the ODF library, enhancements in all the applications, many improvements in especially KPlato and Karbon. Krita also have many improvements as usual. For more details see: the announcement or the release notes.

The KOffice team is proud to announce the fifth alpha of the KOffice2 platform together with the KDE 4.0RC1 release. This release contains improved shared infrastructure including a new ODF library, enhancements in all the applications, new brushes and a path tool in Krita and a new simplified word processor, the so called Kids Office. For more details see: the announcement or the release notes.

The KOffice team is proud to announce the fourth alpha of the KOffice2 platform together with the KDE 4.0beta3 release. This release contains the first embryo of a chart shape, many new formula functions in kspread, and the first runnable version of Krita and KWord for Windows. For more details see: the announcement or the release notes.

Terry North has started a wiki for KOffice users at Friends of KOffice. Meant to be a clearing house for information on KOffice for and by users, Terry calls on all KOffice users to join in the fun and start contributing. All languages welcome!

In KDE's Windows weapon: KOffice 2.0 Rodney Gedda interviews KDE e.V.'s Sebastian Kügler about KOffice 2.0, which is planned to be released on Unix, Linux, OS X and Windows early 2008, although a final release date has not been set yet. Gedda notes that "KOffice 2.0 has the potential to challenge [OpenOffice's] dominance with innovative features and a leaner code base. We couldn't agree more!"

The KOffice team has been hinting at the power of a true cross-platform for the upcoming KOffice2.0 release, but the Windows version has proven to be harder to make working. So while the Macintosh fans have been running KOffice alpha version for some time now, Windows users will be delighted to find out that KWord has been made running on Windows for the first time this weekend. For more info see this blog.

The KOffice team has been working hard on the KOffice2 platform and makes a public release to allow people to look at the direction it is going in the form of something to play with. For more details see; 2.0alpha2-release.php.

Dan Sawyer writes in his article on Deep Images about Krita, noting among other things that "Krita's 32-bit color management system is flanked by well-built, sophisticated tools for accessing it... making it suitable for a broad range of professional graphics demands...This workflow streaming is great...The number of drawing tools is rivaled only by Photoshop and there a few nifty enhancements in this area where Krita outdoes the venerated veteran from Adobe." (Dan Sawyer, "Deep Images", Linux Journal 159, July 2007)

The KOffice team presents the third maintenance release of the 1.6 series. This release was focused on bugfixing and includes two new translations. For more information, See the announcement, the release notes and the complete list of changes.

Yesterday ISO, the International Standards Organization, finally made the OpenDocument Format (ODF) specification into a real ISO standard by pushing the specification into stage 60/60. This means that every government on earth could -- and indeed should -- specify ODF as the preferred format for storing office files. This is relevant for KOffice since KOffice is the first office suite that used ODF as the default file format and is now only superseded by OpenOffice.org in the support of it. For more details, see the ISO website

One and a half month after the release of KOffice 1.6.0, the KOffice team presents 1.6.1. This is mainly a bugfix release, but with some new features in Kexi and Krita and translations update. For more information, See the announcement, the release notes and the complete list of changes.

The KOffice raster image editor Krita reached version 1.6 along with the rest of the office suite earlier this month. Krita is a fully-loaded raster graphics workhorse that stands on its own.

The KOffice team is proud to announce the 1.6.0 release of its office suite. This release is mostly a feature release of Krita and Kexi, but does also contain major enhancements to the OpenDocument and MathML support of KFormula and new scripting functionality. This version also contains a much better version of KPlato, the K Planning Tool, our project planning application.

For more information, see the announcement , the technical release notes, and the complete list of changes.

In the middle of the yearly KDE conference aKademy, the KOffice team has released the first release candidate of version 1.6. This release follows the earlier beta fully according to the plan. This version does not contain any new features, but comprises a number of bug fixes that were the result of user comments made about the beta1 version. The team hopes to continue it's great dialog with the users, and is looking forward to the final release on Oct 15th.

Hello, all.  I'm using the Ubuntu distro in Wubi, and like it very much. Yeah, I know it's only a temporary thing, but I'm enjoying it and am almost ready to go full blown Linux. I like Kword, but have a question.  The envelope printer: the sizes listed in the templates are not familiar to me.  It may be British English usage.  (I notice the default page size is A10, a typical British page size.)

It took me one and a half day and Jos will not be happy about it. That is because I have to start this blog entry with apologizing to him:

"Jos, I am sorry, you will probably not like what I am about to present here. But this makes it so much easier for me and all the KDE people. And strigidaemon simply does not provide the needed features, which I can understand since you are doing this in your spare time. But I cannot wait any longer and in the end really want to reuse all the nice KDE features instead of reimplementing it all just to keep away from QT/KDE dependencies. I hope you understand."

Now that the tension is built up. What did this guy do? Well, essentially I reimplemented strigidaemon as a KDE Nepomuk service. Why would I do that? Why would I reimplement an existing working application? Simple. For the following reasons:

• The parts that I copied from strigidaemon are rather small since all the work is done in the streamanalyser library. So "reimplementing" is maybe a bit overstating it.
• Managing strigidaemon is not that easy as there is no proper method to suspend/resume indexing. You will see below why that is important.
• strigidaemon does not inform about what it is doing. Thus, having an information GUI is impossible.
• The new service is of course a Nepomuk service and as such, can make use of all our nice Qt/KDE features:
  • It uses KDirWatch to watch all indexed directories for change. In comparision the inotify/fam support in strigi was never completed and also meant to maintain 2 dirwatch implementation: one in KDE and one in Strigi.
  • It uses Solid to get notified about power state changes - indexing is suspended when your laptop is running on batteries.
  • It regularly checks the available space on the home partition and suspends indexing if the space runs low (also very simple via KDiskFreeSpace. Using Qt/KDE is so damn great! You really can focus on the important stuff!)
  • It shows info messages about its status via KPassivePopup. Very KDEish and smoothly integrated with the desktop.
  • It shows a GUI to inform the user that the initial indexing can take a while and gives the possibility to configure/disable/suspend/resume strigi (see below for a screenshot of the widget for which I'd like your input.)

For me these are more than enough reasons to commit the new service in the next days. It will solve the Strigi situation for many of our users that always disable/kill strigi because they don't get any information about it from KDE.

As I said above I wanted your input for the GUI. The idea was to make it non-intrusive but have it staying in a corner of the desktop until indexing is done or the user closes it. Here it is in all its uglyness:

Please help me to make this widget useful.

Jos, I hope you can understand why I did it. It was rather simple and gives us all the features we need. Without reimplementing all the nice things KDE has to offer.

On Monday, I drove to Guelph to hang out with some friends and then take the VIA Train to Ottawa. We arrived around 5pm today.

About the only thing done that was productive today was order a Pizza and sync rawhide and pray wireless will work tomorrow morning.

Pictures to come ...

I've never been able to successfully run SUSE or openSUSE, on any of my machines. I don't understand why; it just doesn't work. My latest attempt was to download and burn the openSUSE KDE Four Live CD, last night.

Download ISO. Verify checksum. Burn ISO. Reboot machine. Wait several minutes (more than five) for the boot process.....

Finally! I was greeted by the functional, friendly and green openSUSE KDE4 desktop. Woohoo, right?

I eagerly fired up my favorite app (Alt+F2, "kstars"), but before I could get through the Startup Wizard, my speakers emitted a short burst of rather distressed-sounding chirps, and then the machine was totally unresponsive. I had to hard-reset.

On the second attempt to boot the live CD, it hung during the boot process. Sigh.

I just tried a third time this morning, and it seemed to be working fine this time. However, I'm planning to send this to someone with whom I'd like to make a good impression, so the flakiness is a bit troubling.

Can anyone recommend another LiveCD that includes KStars from KDE4? Not KDE4Daily, I need an actual liveCD.

thanks!

My sister-in-law got married and the wedding photographer made a DVD with 412 pictures. Unfortunately, my parents-in-law could not read the DVD, either with Linux (which is their main OS) nor with Windows XP. So they gave the DVD to me and I had a look.

The DVD is a DVD-R and my Linux version (Hardy Heron) tried to open it: it showed the dialog asking if it should mount the DVD. A failure message opened asking me to have a look at dmesg. Hmm.

So I did and it said:

So I tried to install some kernel patches for udf.ko, but this did not help. The disc was still not recognized. In the end I decided to call upon the trusted program hexdump. Hexdump should be compulsory at kindergarten!

Browsing through the data with hexdump, I quickly recognized JPEG headers, so I wrote a small program (70 lines) to extract all JPEGs from a binary blob. You can download it.

The first megabyte of the DVD is here.

starting August 4th, i.e. Monday in 2 weeks, CMake >= 2.6.0 will be required to build KDE from svn trunk, which will become KDE 4.2 in a few months.

So please update your CMake.
In case there are no distribution packages yet, you can get the sources here:
http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.6/cmake-2.6.0.tar.gz

or the binary package, which should work on about every Linux distribution:
http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.6/cmake-2.6.0-Linux-i386.tar.gz
(just unpack it to any place you like, it will work).

Here is the full download page:
http://www.cmake.org/HTML/Download.html

What will this bring us ?

So many things went into 2.6.0, actually more than I can remember. Just a
short unsorted list:

-the env. variable CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH, which is used by the FIND_XXX() commands to find installed software (i.e. if you installed kdelibs under the prefix /opt/kdelibs and kdesupport under /opt/kdesupport, set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to /opt/kdesupport:/opt/kdelibs and it will be found)

-support for cross compiling, let's see if that helps with getting KDE on small devices

-defining the "link interface" of libraries, so we can limit the indirect dependencies of libs

-much shorter delay between entering "make" and when the first target is built (now a O(N) algorithm instead O(N^2) )

-libraries are linked to with the full path instead of relying on the correct order of the -L and -l flags

-a Qt GUI for configuring projects, editing the cache etc. ("cmake-gui")

-much faster installation, no relinking needed anymore, the RPATH is now patched directly in the binaries

-support for OSX library frameworks, let's see if we want to use that for our libs like kdecore

-improved packaging support, including RPM and DEB packages (still quite early, so needs tester)

-support for creating Eclipse and Code::Blocks projects

-improved documentation, now also for cmake variables and properties, split into separate man pages, and now also supports creating documentation for custom cmake modules (see http://api.kde.org/cmake/modules.html)

-bug fixes, minor features, and everything I forgot...

Alex

P.S. the last new cmake version we required was 2.4.5 on March 19th, 2007, i.e. 16 months ago, so I think we did quite good with that

Another leap forward in KDevelop version 4 is the interface. We've tried to make it both highly flexible (to fit most people's requirements) and reliable (kdev3 suffered from a difficult to maintain ui library, prior to a simplified rewrite), and the current state is pretty good (certainly better than kdev3). Features include:

• "Ideal" mode - one central view, surrounded by collapsable tool views. The tool views can be shown/hidden, switched between, maximized (one toolview takes up the whole screen temporarily), and made to auto-hide (when the editor gains focus), all via keyboard shortcuts as well as mouse clicks. Each tool view has its own action tool bar, if it has any actions to expose. I also recently fixed the last known focus bugs, which makes the toolviews now particularly nice to work with.
• Arbitrarily splittable central view - you can split vertically or horizontally as many times as you like. (Still some bugs on closing the last document in a split view to be worked on). I've found this useful although I didn't initially think I would use it. We still need keyboard shortcuts for switching between split areas (afaik).
• Perspectives - switch between different configurations for your tool views, editor windows etc. easily and quickly. A separate perspective for different programming tasks (eg. debugging) may turn out to be particularly handy. Details of how it's supposed to work are still being sorted out, however.
• Mulitple mainwindow support - although this has been the intention, it has never worked properly and needs more developer time to get it right.

• 
  Features likely to be implemented at some stage include split toolview areas, and drag + drop of tool views.

No, I did not forget about the virtual folders, but I also did not implement subfolders or a graphical query editor. Shame on me, I know. I thought it was more important to focus on stability and a clean API first. And that is what I did.

But before that let my point you to the blog of my Google Summer of Code student Daniel Winter who uses Nepomuk to improve Amarok playlists. Cool stuff.

Back to virtual folders: Last time we saw that we could list query results wherever KIO was used. This time, I will only give a short update for the users and a way more interesting one for the developers:

The User Perspective

I won't give you much to read but provide a little screencast (Update: now better quality!) showing how virtual folders are now updated automatically:

Normally this is where the video should be embedded now but apparently it gets filtered out, so here is the link again: Nepomuk Virtual Folder Screencast

If you are a user and do not care about how stuff works you can stop reading here.

The Developer Perspective

IMHO what we just saw is pretty nice (but there are issues as always: if you know KIO, you know that unused slaves are terminated. The same is true for the virtual folder io slave. Once it is terminated we loose its internal state and, thus, the updates. Well, if you have any ideas to solve this.... the only one I could come up with is a hack to force the slave to not be deleted until not needed for updates anymore).

And why is this so interesting for developers? Simple: the virtual folder KIO slave does "only" convert the search results to proper KIO UDSEntries. The actual results are created by the brand new Nepomuk Query Service.

This service has a rather simple DBus interface. You call the query method and get a new DBus object which informs about new results and removed results as well as the finishing of the initial listing. And this is totally generic and not restricted to files.

If you want to try it and support my proposition to get it into kdebase for 4.2: you can find it in playground/base/nepomuk-kde/queryservice. In the subfolder "client" you find the client library. Use that and you don't even have to care about the DBus communication. Simple.

Keep in mind that the query API is still in development and your input and wishes can still easily be adapted.

A new version of Strigi, the desktop search, is available.
This is a bugfix release. It fixes some annoying issues seen in KDE 4.1. Check out the ChangeLog for the details.

Strigi has currently good basid Xesam support, but no good dedicated search interface for KDE 4.1 yet. This is ongoing work.

If you are interested in helping out with Strigi, just drop by on #strigi. We are currently focussing on bug fixes, Xesam support and KDE integration.

With some delay due the heavy workload at Mandriva offices, i manage to provide some experimental packages for Mandriva 2008 Spring.
A standard urpmi repository is available.
Please refer to README for detailed information.

And of course:

KDE 4.1 RC1 has been released yesterday - without big announcement as this is still a development release. The release of KDE 4.1 is planned for July 29th. As usual there are packages for openSUSE 11.0, 10.3 and Factory as well as a Live-CD available. Click below if you're eager to break your openSUSE 11.0:
