reached. Version Control and other general work in KDevelop

plugin for KGet [http://kget.sourceforge.net/]. KBlogger
[http://kblogger.pwsp.net/] gets KWallet integration. The beginnings of
a simple vector text shape with support for text-on-path and exact
positioning, and the start of another painting framework in KOffice
[http://www.koffice.org/]. A bitmap (BMP) export filter for Krita

Important work on the KNewStuff2 framework, through the work of a new
