[Kexi-devel] What's new in KReport & KProperty & Predicate

[Jaroslaw Staniek]

Update:
- cmake build scripts for KProperty and KReport are largely following
the conventions of KF5 and e.g. KDiagram
- KProperty now uses CamelCase filenames and (mostly) the convention
of KProperty prefix for class names (so the KoProperty namespace is
removed)
- Consider KProperty are almost ready for placing in the final
repository. Example app in examples/ subdir works.
- part of the KReport is ported to use QLatin1String where needed,
also some includes are fixed; Adam is helping with this right now

TODO:
- more QLatin1String and include fixes for KReport
- port KReport to the new KProperty naming conventions
- some test app for KReport would help us to verify it without waiting
for Kexi to be ported

Feel free to test and report any ideas/issues.
