Description:
NOTE: This entry is relevant of current
development version for KDE4 (unstable).
After one year of developement, porting code to
KDE4/Qt4 api, and backporting new features from
KDE3 branch, we have decided to make a first try
with this beta release.
But take care, it's a BETA code with many of new
bugs not yet fixed... To resume :
[b]"DO NOT USE YET IN PRODUCTION"[/b]
... for production use KDE3 branch, which still
mantained. digiKam 0.9.4 have been released in
august 2008. For more informations, please consult
this page:
[url]http://kde-apps.org/content/edit.php?content=9957[/url]
To compile this KDE4 version, you need
[b]libkexiv2[/b], [b]libkdcraw[/b], and
[b]libkipi[/b] for KDE4. These libraries are now
included in KDE core. You need last libkdcraw and
libkexiv2 from svn trunk to compile digiKam (will
be released with KDE 4.2). To extract libraries
source code from svn, look at bottom of this page
for details:
http://www.digikam.org/drupal/download?q=download/svn
For others depencies, consult README file. There
are also optional
depencies to enable some new features as lensfun
for lens
auto-correction, and marble for geolocation.
The digikam.org web site has been redesigned for
the new KDE4 series.
All screenshots have been updated and a lots of
video demos have been
added:
