What's new in KReport & KProperty & Predicate

Thu Apr 16 22:15:35 BST 2015

Hi!
Update:
- I am keeping new changes to kreport in
http://quickgit.kde.org/?p=clones%2Fkreport%2Fstaniek%2Fwork.git
@Adam, could you please review? These big boring patches do not fit to
reviewboard too much.

- I am finalizing the plugin manager work for kreport to make it as
recommended in https://community.kde.org/Calligra/Schedules/3.0/Porting_Notes#Plugin_system

See also the updated
https://community.kde.org/Calligra/Schedules/3.0/Porting_Plan for more
overview.
