Hi,
we need to collect the most relevant changes for the Applications 17.08
release announcement (to help the promo people).

Please fill the following page:

Hi all,

the release of KDE Applications 17.08 is closer[1]. The branch
'Applications/17.08' was created in all repositories part of the bundle.

Please commit everything that should land on 17.08 (bug fixes for sure) on
Applications/17.08 (my suggestion is then to forward-merge into master, better
than cherry-pick).

The translations from trunk were copied to the stable branches as well, as usual.

Unless of course some human error, let's see tomorrow what the scripts say.

Ciao

So what the subject says, get your dependencies in ASAP.

Cheers,
Albert

Hey all,

I have the pleasure to finally announce the availability of hotspot v1.0.0.
Hotspot is a GUI for Linux perf. Right now, it's a drop-in replacement for
(parts of) `perf report`. It aims to be easier to use, but comes with powerful
features to analyze the profiler data:

- summary view
- bottom-up, top-down and caller/callee aggregations
- tooltips, searching, sorting etc.

Hi everyone!

This project is an ioslave for making virtual folder support in
Dolphin and other KIO-compatible applications using an ioslave. This
is the initial release of this project.

I am proud to announce the fourth CMake 3.9 release candidate.

Documentation is available at:

I sent an email to
<toscano. ... at tiscali dot it> (expanded from < ... at kde dot org>):

Bounced - hope he is OK?

But anyway - I did some work on ksig so it will build a Debian pkg - wanted
to get it into the correct hands...

,.,.,.,.

I created a debian directory for ksig - I Have it basically working in
Debian stretch

There is an update-me.sh script that will make a deb package for anyone that
is interested.

Hello everyone!

In my past life, I've done a lot of issue tracker and bug management
work, and I'd like to do the same for the KDE bugzilla, where there are
a lot of bugs that are duplicates, untriaged, etc. How can I go about
getting permission to do things like change bug statuses? For example,
I'd like to:

- Mark <a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374954" title="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374954">https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=374954</a> as a duplicate of
<a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=375993" title="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=375993">https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=375993</a>.

- Confirm <a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=381265" title="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=381265">https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=381265</a>

- Pass back <a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=381269" title="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=381269">https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=381269</a> with NEEDINFO

Etc.

Hi all,
I am working on the GSOC project "Polkit support in KIO". As a part of this
project right now I am trying to add KAuth support to the 'copy' method of
file ioslave. My initial plan was to let KAuth helper open the files
requiring elevated privilege for reading and/or writing and then pass the
file descriptor or maybe the file pointer back to the copy method of file
ioslave which would then perform rest of the copy operation.

I tried different approaches but none seemed to work.

Hello,

*QxOrm library 1.4.4* and *QxEntityEditor application 1.2.2* just released (
<a href="http://www.qxorm.com/" title="http://www.qxorm.com/">http://www.qxorm.com/</a>) !

QxOrm library doesn't depend on boost framework anymore (the boost
dependency has been fully removed, replaced by some C++11 features).
So QxOrm library is now a pure Qt library which depends only on QtCore and
QtSql by default.
For backward compatibility, QxOrm library still supports some boost classes
(boost smart-pointers, unordered containers, boost::optional, etc...) : you
have to define _QX_ENABLE_BOOST compilation option to enable these features.

Main advantages are :
- QxOrm

Hi,

I am trying to build kdelibs4support on MacOs Sierra (v10.12.4 Beta) all
the dependencies are already built and installed using kdesrc-build. Now,
when I try to build kdelibs4support using kdesrc-build I get the following
error:

1. /kde/usr/frameworks/kdelibs4support/src/kssl/ksslcertificate.h:105:38:
error: unknown type name 'X509'
2. static KSSLCertificate *fromX509(X509 *x5);

Full build log can be found at: <a href="https://pastebin.com/6pWk27NR" title="https://pastebin.com/6pWk27NR">https://pastebin.com/6pWk27NR</a>

Any help in building would be helpfull.

Thank You,

Hi,
Last wee I was able to complete following tasks -
- reading about the required material about kf5 to handle the blocker of
the previous week
- write auto tests for libkopete
Link: <a href="https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/130147/" title="https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/130147/">https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/130147/</a>

I have done these tasks and submitted a review request. Contribution has
been low but will increase from the coming week. I took the advice from the
last email. I will now build the required sources for plugins for tests.
That resolves the issue of undefined reference which I was facing.

Regards,
Vijay Krishnavanshi

Howdy all,
I've found a significant regression in Plasma 5.10: after locking and
unlocking the screen, hardware media playback keys no longer work. I
suspect it's related to the (much appreciated) work to add media
playback controls to the lock screen.

I've filed <a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380526" title="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380526">https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=380526</a>

Hi!

I had made the kio-stash ioslave last year as part of my GSoC 2016
Project. Now that most of the changes which I wished to make in
Dolphin relevant to the ioslave are part of master, I wish to ship the
ioslave soon.

The project is now in KDE review and is awaiting feedback. The link
for the same can be found here:
<a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/R247:0f4dc333ac8469b36d1b3a1cedd0a6672ac907b8" title="https://phabricator.kde.org/R247:0f4dc333ac8469b36d1b3a1cedd0a6672ac907b8">https://phabricator.kde.org/R247:0f4dc333ac8469b36d1b3a1cedd0a6672ac907b8</a>

Back I Am
I have a QML plasmoid
It uses a c++ library as a backend (c++ QML plugin)
It works fine under plasmoidviewer
When i install it, I can see it in Add Widgets
It won't let itself drag/drop to the desktop
It keeps saying
Constructing a KPluginInfo object from old style JSON.

I want to make a plasmoid that essentially read an xml of bookmark,
displaythem in form of button and execute them once you clikc a button

In Pure c++ it would take me 1 or 2 class maybe

Now with QML I have to

1)Make 1 QMLPlugin in c++

2)Make 1 qml code

3)Make a second QMLPlugin in C++

4)Pass argument from 1) to 2) then back from 2) to 3)

5)Pass information from 2 to 1 to update the Abstract model ....

Currently I am stucked at step 3

Hi! (Heavy traffic today:)

there are bug reports like <a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332791" title="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332791">https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=332791</a> still coming in and
my usual respond now is that "we" do not support Krusader 2.4.0 anymore.

Because I actually cannot decide this on my own / can only speak for myself, I would like
to have some sort of confirmation that "we", as a support team, do not provide coverage
for bugs specific to 2.4.0 anymore.
If anybody thinks otherwise, please respond. Otherwise I'll take it as granted.

Cheers everybody
Alex

Howdy all! I'm trying to set up a KDE development environment on my
openSUSE Tumbleweed machine to submit a patch for

I've gotten to the point where I'm able to run `kdesrc-build
kinfocenter`. But the build is repeatedly failing with missing packages.
I figure out which package is missing and try again, and then a
different one is missing.

Hello fellow developers. I’m a student at the Technical University of
Vienna in Austria and would love to participate in the upcoming Google
Summer of Code.

Hi,
Kde community I'm Camilo Higuita and right now I'm working on a project
called Babe (<a href="https://github.com/milohr/babe-qt" title="https://github.com/milohr/babe-qt">https://github.com/milohr/babe-qt</a>) and it is right now under
the Kde Incubator project, so this is the reason for me sending you all
this mail, to present myself and my project.

the main focus i have planned for Babe are:
-very tight plasma integration (krunner, kdeconnect, baloo, knotify,
mpris...)
-simple and good looking interface
-a smart music collection manager( via MIR(music information retrieval) &
MDM(multimedia data mining) systems and Online music fetcher(youtube,
vimeo, soundcloud))

anyone i
