[Digikam-devel] 0.10.0-beta1 release tarball...

[Gilles Caulier]

Hi all,

yes, you have read properly... this is the first KDE4 version of
digiKam. but take a care, it's a beta code with a lots of know bugs
not yet fixed... To resume :

"DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION" (:=))))....

After one year of developpement, porting to KDE4/Qt4 api, and
backporting new features from KDE3 branch, Marcel and me, we have
decided to make a first try with this beta release.

It still a lots of stuff to do/fix. Code need to reviewed again until
we feel all fine. We cannot release digiKam in cyberspace as well. If
you have tested KDE4.0.x release, you know what i think and wat i
mean.

So, please try to compile this tarball, and let's me hear all problems.

http://digikam3rdparty.free.fr/0.10.x-releases/digikam-0.10.0-beta1.tar.bz2

You need libkexiv2, libkdcraw, and libkipi for KDE4. these libraries
are now included in KDE 4.1-beta2 by default. There is no tarball
release planed for these libraries.

Your can extract libraries source code from svn as well, and compile
all using KDE 4.0.x. it's work fine. you don't need especially KDE
4.1.x code. Look at bottom of this page for details :

For others depencies, look in README file. There are optional
depencies (lensfun, marble, etc)...

Thanks in advance for your report.
