Kate – GSoC Summary
Hello planet,
As Google Summer of Code is now finished and I have successfully passed the final evaluation, I would like to give a brief description of my project.
Kate is now able to recover (most of) what was written after last save in case of a crash or power failure. A swap file is created after the first editing action on a document that was successfully saved. If the user closes the document normally or saves its content, the swap file is deleted, otherwise, if Kate crashes, it remains on the disk. On load, Kate searches for the swap file, and if it exists, a warning bar pops from the top and provides the user with three possibilities: recover the lost data, discard the swap file or view differences between the original data and the recovered one. If the user chooses to restore the lost data, the editing actions from the swap file are replayed over the current content of the document. If somehow the swap file is not valid, for example a finishEditing statement is missing, the recovery is done, but the user is warned that it might be incomplete.

Each night now Kate (part/app) is build from git and all unit tests are run. Yeah, we even got some tests .P
Until now, that just reminds on of our failures ;) But I hope the daily mail will perhaps motivate me and others more to fix them ;)
Beside, thanks for all the people working to write these tests, like Bernhard, Dominik and Milian.

Kate History ;)
While setting up the new server for the Kate homepage, I actually found again old stuff ;)
Amazing that mails nearly ten years old can still be somewhere on the filesystem.
Perhaps a little hint, to post the beginnings of what today is Kate/KatePart/KWrite and KTextEditor.
Ten years ago, I asked the original author of KWrite, if he is interested in a MDI version of it (sorry, german, original mail):
Read Morekate-editor.org moved
Hope the problems we had in the past few weeks are over now.
No other real downtimes are planned, perhaps some reboots but nothing more than some minutes ;)
Hope I can now finally setup my planned automated unit-tests and build ;)
The DNS transfer seems to be faster than thought, still some people might arrive at the old server, where now only a stupid “Maintainance” page is up. The IP of the new server is 85.214.230.250. Read More
kate-editor.org moving
In the last weeks, the homepage was sometimes down, as the server it is on is slowly dying. I just negotiate the transfer to a new one. That one will allow additional stuff to be run, guess we than even have nightly unit test runs (at least I hope so) ;)
Therefor it may be, that the site is not reachable, as DNS transfer might always take some days.
Read MoreSmartRanges goodbye
Like told in previous posts here and there, KDE 4.6 won’t have a KatePart that supports the SmartInterface but instead KatePart moves on to the new and shiny (and much simpler) MovingInterface for the handling of automatic moving cursors and ranges.
Now the big cut is done: KatePart in /trunk no longer implements the SmartInterface. KDevelop already adopted the new interface in a development branch, lets see how that all evolves.

KDE 4.5 is approaching, thanks to all Kate contributors
KDE 4.5 will be released in the next days with the most polished Kate/KWrite and KatePart during the KDE 4.x series.
A lot of work went into fixing bugs and cleaning up old code for this release. Many important aspects where redone, just to enumerate a few:
- encoding detection & handling
- the text buffer
- the undo/redo system (thanks Bernhard)
- search/replace (thanks again Bernhard)
- handling cursors and ranges
- improved spell checking (thanks Michel)
- improved indentation (thanks Milian)
- speed improvements (Milian too)
- better JS scripting (Dominik)
- porting of KDevelop to new interfaces (David Nolden)
It will be the most unit-tested release of KatePart ever I guess, but still a long way to go until we have a good test coverage. (we just scratch the surface)
Read MoreKateSQL, a new plugin for Kate
Hello,
today i will show you a new plugin for Kate, called KateSQL.
As you may have guessed, it brings to Kate the basic features of an SQL client, allowing you to open connections, execute queries, and display result data from SELECT statements or stored procedures.
Since this plugin makes an extreme use of the Qt Sql module, most of database drivers are supported..
Said this, let me explain how it works..
