[Kde-pim] Heads up: kdepim-runtime master now requires libkgapi master

[Daniel Vrátil]

Hi,

In the past days I've been working on new API for LibKGAPI. The old one 
was not really the best one (well, it was my first :P ) and recently I found 
myself pretty much lost when I wanted to implement new features or fix some 
bugs.

The new API is job-based (with classes like ContactFetchJob, 
EventModifyJob, etc), looks very nice, is ridiculously easy to use (as opposed 
to the old API) and is much much more flexible. The new API is in KGAPI2 
namespace, which means that next release will be LibKGAPI-2.0 (quite a jump 
from 0.4 :-) ).  The old API is still be available in LibKGAPI-2.0 (there's 
still libkgapi.so), but it is marked as deprecated and internally it uses or 
shares code from LibKGAPI2. I plan to completely drop the API around KDE 4.12 
(or when I get fed up of maintaining it :P ).

I have just pushed port of Akonadi Google resources to LibKGAPI 2 API. The 
commit also factors out /lots/ of duplicated code into 
/resources/google/common. The diff says 3020 insertions and 4150 deletions, 
which I think is a nice result.

So far everything seems to work smoothly and nicely, but I'd like to ask those 
who use KDEPIM from master  and the Google resources to keep an eye on them 
and ping me if there are any problems or regressions.

As a bonus, the Google Contacts resource now supports contacts groups, has 
smarter photo fetching, both resources have improved status reporting and 
(subjectively) are faster and more stable. More features coming soon ;-)

Cheers

Dan
