Hola!

For Kate's new search and replace behaviour, Dominik added a screenshot
(attached) and edited what I send to him comme ça:

<start article>

The highlighting appearance in Kate's search and replace function has been
modified. Dominik, one of the Kate developers, changed this behavior on
several user requests, who never figured out that pressing Escape was needed
to remove these highlightings :)

In the commit message he refers to the change as "a truly sad day", since he
personally like the feature quite a lot. The commit message explains the new
behavior in detail:

<quote>
Up to KDE SC 4.9, the search & replace highlights stay, even if you close
the search & replace bar. You had to press Escape to manually remove them.
>From KDE SC 4.10 on, there will be a notification bar on the bottom of the
view that tells the user the amount of search & replace matches. This bar
stay
visible for about 6 seconds, then it hides itself automatically. And then,
i.e. after these 6 seconds, the search & replace highlights are also
removed.

I wrote "this is a sad day", since I personally liked the previous behavior
a lot. But there seemed to be quite some users who never figured out that
Escape was needed to remove these highlightings :)

the Homerun-snipped: Aurélian added the part about the Runner API and
supported the article's inclusion into the digest.

<article>
Homerun¹, a fullscreen launcher developped by Shaun Reich and Aurélien
Gateau, made its debut² release. Although it's currently at version 0.1.0,
it already looks³ functional(4). Integration with Activities (5) is planned
and other interesting ideas are afloat. Download and build instructions can
be found at Aurélien's blog².

The homerun developers are investigating with other Plasma developers how
to rework/extend the Runner API so that there they can avoid the need of a
separate Sources API in the future.
