KDE Commit-Digest for 11th January 2009
=======================================

   In this week's KDE Commit-Digest
[http://commit-digest.org/issues/2009-01-11/]: More parts of the
Oxygen-based [http://oxygen-icons.org/] "Air" visual identity enters KDE
SVN in time for the KDE 4.2 release, including KDM background images.
Better integration of the new "NetworkManager" Plasma
[http://plasma.kde.org/] applet with KWallet. Initial work on a new
"Welcome" Plasmoid. Support for more units added to the "Conversion"
runner in Plasma, including "pressure", "currency", and "energy".
Support for identi.ca (and laconi.ca) added to the "Twitter" Plasma data
engine. Much work on choqoK, a standalone KDE Twitter application.
Support for using imageshack.us as the backend for the "Pastebin" Plasma
applet. More work on a "VideoPlayer" Plasmoid (based on Phonon)
[http://phonon.kde.org/]. The VLC backend for Phonon is imported into
KDE SVN. New LilyPond indenter script and RPM Specification syntax
highlighting files in Kate [http://kate-editor.org/]. Lots of
long-awaited new features in KRuler. Start of a new user interface in
Rocs. General improvements to visual rendering of .odt documents in
Okular [http://okular.org/]. Lots of fixes in KPilot
[http://pim.kde.org/components/kpilot.php] and printing in KOrganizer
[http://korganizer.kde.org/]. Needed improvements in the LaTeX export
feature of KSpread [http://www.koffice.org/kspread/]. Various work on
Akonadi [http://pim.kde.org/akonadi/] and Amarok
[http://amarok.kde.org/] 2, including an early "Bookmark" applet and
changes to the way the Plasma canvas is presented in the application. An
new equivalent to the old "dcopstart" command. Support for localized
backends in KPackageKit, with the ability to configure the application
from the system tray icon. A registry patch for registering KDE system
settings modules as Control Panel elements for KDE-on-Windows. Updated
browser user agents representing modern browsers in Konqueror
[http://www.konqueror.org/]. A major refactoring to convert all backends
(VNC, RDP, NX, test) to plugins in KRDC. Initial release of
"Magazynier", a KSokoban remake for KDE 4. Import of a version of
Konqueror with thumbnailing support. Initial import of a "Solid
[http://solid.kde.org/] Actions" KControl module (to replace the "Media
Devices" KCM from KDE 3), and telepathy-accountmanager-kwallet. KFormula
[http://www.koffice.org/kformula/] is removed from kdelibs, in search of
better maintainership and to avoid code duplication with KOffice
[http://koffice.org/]. Amarok 2.0.1, KOffice Beta 5 (1.9.98.5), Eigen
[http://eigen.tuxfamily.org/] 2.0 Beta 5, KDE 4.1.4, and KDE 4.2 Release
Candidate 1 are tagged for release. Read the rest of the Digest here.
