I have test KSVG in the demos and in Adobe web site. There's a crash in Adobe
web site which wildfox is fixing right now..
Gentlemen, it will be at least 4 months until KDE 3.1 will be officialy out.
Until then, quite a lots of KSVG bugs will be squashed, and ofcourse - if it
will be included, lots of tests will be performed by users who compile, beta
testers, etc - so we'll have a very stable KSVG support by the time release.
Remember - for SVG support we have either KSVG or none. Adobe's Mozilla plugin
does not run under nsplugins in Konqueror (since it's using XPCOM if I
understood correctly). IMHO I would preffer to have something that works
which got at the moment few bugs, then nothing.
KDE 3.2 will be out (if at all) only a year from now and it would be a shame
not to have any SVG support until then.
One more thing if I may: from knowing Niko, I know that he fixes his bugs and
works on his projects quite extensivly, so I belive that he done (and will)
an outstanding job regarding KSVG.
Thanks,
Hetz
