========================================

   In this week's KDE Commit-Digest
[http://commit-digest.org/issues/2008-11-23/]: Addition of a DNS
prefetch mechanism (as seen in Google Chrome) to speed up page loads in
KHTML [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KHTML]. First base work on kolf-ng,
a rewrite which may become Kolf 2.0 in the future. A crude configuration
dialog is added to the "NetworkManager" Plasma [http://plasma.kde.org/]
applet, preliminary support for horizontal and vertical form factors in
the "FolderView" Plasmoid. kuiserver is now fully merged into the Plasma
"System Tray". Items can now specify their position in the Plasma
"System Tray". Support for drag-and-drop re-ordering of the favourites
list (and potentially other lists) in the Kickoff
[http://en.opensuse.org/Kickoff] menu. Implementation of basic text
extraction from file tags in some TIFF images in Okular
[http://okular.org/]. Start of a batch queue manager in Digikam
[http://www.digikam.org/]. Initial work for a "set-specific preview" for
the "Colours" KControl module. Configuration support for the Seeqpod
script, and an initial import of a "Danish Radio Stations" service in
Amarok [http://amarok.kde.org/] 2. New "IceWorld" theme in KBreakOut.
Support for enabling/disabling "Rich Text" in the Kopete
[http://kopete.kde.org/] chat window. Rudimentary integration with
ConsoleKit in KDM. Eigen 1 has now been replaced by Eigen
[http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/] 2 across KDE SVN. Guidance removes own
implementations of utilities now covered by KDE 4.2 tools.
PartitionManager moves from kdereview to extragear/sysadmin. The
Falcon-language Kross [http://kross.dipe.org/] backend moves to
kdebindings in time for KDE 4.2. "Bomber" game moved from kdereview to
kdegames for the KDE 4.2 release. The game "KGo" is renamed "Kigo".
KPercentage [http://edu.kde.org/kpercentage/] retired as it is
unmaintained, with some exercises incorporated into KBruch
[http://edu.kde.org/kbruch/]. Amarok 2 Release Candidate 1 (1.98) is
tagged for release.Read the rest of the Digest here.
