I'm also sending my current "known issues" list below; feel free to signal  
other things that need fixing:



- serious graphic glitches on circuit view; mostly resulting in black  
circuit display when trying to scroll; various painting related warnings  
 from Qt

- created subcircuits appear twice in the subcircuit list, and in some  
cases they cause crashes; investigation needed

- (from Claus) There are some other gfx glitches, but that might be  
because I run it in a virtual machine - didn't have them on the previous  
builds though.

- Gfx error on e.g. LED in that I can't connect a wire unless I rotate the  
part.
- some components get their connectors moved, thus (1) graphical issues,  
(2) impossibility of connecting connectors results

- Som gfx errors that leaves gaps at connection points on components.
   (see last email with attached screen shot)


-'Scope works well, but doesn't clear 'lines' from other circuits when  
they are closed. (Y-axis scale would be nice)

-I think the 'scope just keeps filling data points into RAM, because RAM  
usage climbs steadily until the virtual machine crashes (same as the kde3  
version)

- components have no description
    - the context help exists; or something else is needed here?


And the issues from the TODO file:


Features needs re-implementation at Qt4 port
=======
- dbus integration for documents (used to be dcop bindings for documents)
- undo / redo interface needs to  be fixed for text documents: this  
interface is not exported by KDE4 KTextEditor
     http://api.kde.org/4.10-api/kdelibs-apidocs/interfaces/ktexteditor/html/kte_port_to_kde4.html
- printing a text document needs fixing
