Dear all digiKam fans and users!

The Kipi development team is happy to release the 2nd KDE4 beta
version of plugins for digiKam. The tarball can be downloaded from
SourceForge at this url:

To compile this KDE4 version, you need libkexiv2, libkdcraw, and libkipi for
KDE4. These libraries are now included in KDE core with kdegraphic

be able to compile this plugin, you need last libkdcraw from svn trunk (will
be released with KDE 4.2). To extract libraries source code from svn, look
at bottom of this page for details :
