kdelirc news

[Michael Zanetti]

Hello kdeutils team,

We from kdelirc have made some major changes in branches/work/kdelirc. We have 
refactored also the last parts from the old KDE3 version. The whole framework 
is now much more extensible for future development.

Also, since lircd handling has moved to solid we should now be able to run on 
other platforms and support different types of remotes.

During the rework also the UI changed a bit and we have moved the systray app 
from a standalone app to a kded module.

Because of those major changes I think the name KDELirc doesn't fit any more 
and would like to ask if I'm allowed to rename the application. Currently we 
are going for "KRemoteControl" as a more generic name. However, as we don't 
have an application in the menu any more (just a kded service and a Remote 
Control Configuration kcmshell plugin) the name isn't of any big importance 
any more. It's more how the directories in the codebase are named. Anyways, if 
someone knows a better name (I know there are some people who hate Ksomething 
names) I'm open for suggestions.

So if everyone (especially Friedrich) agrees with my proposal I would like to 
merge the branch back in a month or so (when we are finished with polishing 
the ui and bringing back the last outstanding features).

Cheers,
Michael
