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

Thu Apr 9 08:45:56 UTC 2015

Please publish the patch as an attachment as we did before.
We're waiting for admins and systems to synchronize everything.

Sure, I don't touch kreport to avoid conflicts :)
Just updating calligra frameworks branch to reflect changes that
