KDE 

Just a quick “me too” post, will be around in Berlin ;) <p> Hope to meet up with a lot of KDE people once more.<br /> For the Kate team, at least me, Dominik and Erlend are around there.</td> <td> <img src="/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/DS2011banner.png" alt="Going to Desktop Summit 2011" /> </td></tr> </table>

Hello guys! I’m writing my weekly article today because I have already started working on something else. I didn’t have time to finish the previous stage because I started the next phase of the project. I had a talk with my GSoC mentor and a couple of Kate developers and we all concluded that I should start working on the folding algorithm as soon as possible because this is the main (and most important) part.

Hello! Last week I focused on analyzing the interface of the actual implementation. Now, it’s time to develop the new interface. As I mentioned in my proposal, one of my project’s goals is compatibility: I want to make as few changes as possible in the other sources. This is the reason why I studied the previous implementation for a whole week. Another goal of my project is simplicity. The interface will be implemented in an abstract class. Read More

Hi everybody! I am Adrian and, as Erlend already mentioned in a previous post, I will rewrite Kate’s code folding algorithm on this GSoC edition. Starting from this week, I will post a weekly report of my work. At the end of each week I will post some info about the project’s progress and some details about what I have scheduled for the next week (according to my presented timeline). Read More

This year’s Google Summer of Code (GSoC) has started and the Kate project has been lucky to get two students who will work on improving Kate’s folding code and Vi input mode. [][1]Adrian Adrian will work on improving the folding code which is in need of an overhaul: My name is Adrian. I’m studying in Bucharest, Romania, but my hometown is Constanta, a seaside town from Romania as well. I am a 3rd year student at “Politehnica” University of Bucharest, majoring in Computer Science and Engineering. Read More

From time to time it happens that bug reports get pretty much nasty. A single user or some users request a feature. If you argue, bashing starts. In this case, it’s about Kate and the following scenario: You are editing several files (e.g. because you clicked on text files in dolphin). So Kate starts and you are not using an explicit session. If all files are saved, you can simply quit Kate. Read More

My last post mentioned Necessitas which provides the means to have Qt on Android. Whereas still a early preview release, it already allows you to compile and run Qt applications on Android >= 1.6 without any big hassle and integrates that into QtCreator! I tried out the SDK in the last days, it is really easy to use and setup, like seen here and here (with good video that shows the steps). Read More

After the latest changes in Nokia, I was kind of scared that “Qt Everywhere!” like printed on my nice bathing towel won’t really happen any more, at least not as fast as thought. Now I got my new phone, Android based, and tried out Necessitas. And I must say, I am impressed. Just downloaded Ministro from the Android Market (yes, just like that, no rooting, no hacking, nothing) and the hello world demo and it runs :P Read More

Thanks to the massive work of sysadmin and others (like Ian Monroe), kdelibs and kdebase are now converted to Git. In parallel, the move of all kate related code to the kate.git was done and announced. Kate Part / App + KWrite reside now in kate.git on git.kde.org and this is the central place for kate development, like it was already before, but now without the shadow-copies in three other repositories.

As Dominik already points out in his blog, Kate has made nice progress for KDE 4.6. Some of the latest fixes, like for some nasty search bug didn’t make it in RC1, btw., I was too lame with Git -> SVN syncs. Anyway, I have now synced and backported to KDE 4.6 branch all pending fixes. For the next KDE SC release 4.7 (here you go, I wrote SC :)), I hope this syncing will no longer be necessary. Read More
