[Kde-mobile-users] Re: Wanted: Help us to let Kontact Mobile stand the real world test

Tue Nov 9 15:37:26 CET 2010

Hi,

after a month and approximately 10000 KDE svn commits we did release a new 
unstable version of Kontact Mobile as Björn B. already mentioned.

This version got a lot of improvents (as always ;-)) and some nice and shiny 
new features. E.g. a new status indicator, that shows if kontact mobile is 
offline/online or syncing. The email list view is able to show threads 
(thread view will be configurable in the future versions). German translation 
is now ~90% complete. And of course Kontact Mobile got some attention 
regarding speed and memory consumption. 

But maybe you would miss a feature from the last version. The X buttons in the 
folder view got removed due to accidentally deletion of mails.

Some clarification about the qt4 packages: We received a lot of 
questions why we are still using qt4-experimental and not the official 
packages from pr1.3. First of all the main reason is we are lacking in time. 
It would cost us some days to change, rebuild, update and test all our 
packages and their dependencies to use the standard qt4 version shipped with 
pr1.3. Second reason is that it is always possible to provide a newer version 
of qt4-experimental but not for the default ones. We are already aware of some 
issues that are caused by qt4. Therefore it may be nessesary to update the 
qt4-experimental packags in the future.

Regards and happy testing,
Björn R.
