Kalva 0.7.0 released

KDE 1701 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Kalva 0.7.0 has been released

What's new in Version 0.7.0:
You can store your hardware profile and share it via www.kde-files.org. By providing your hardware profile you can help others who are new to recording with MEncoder. You can store your quality profile and share it via www.kde-files.org. This allows apart from other benefits to have more than one profile and per recording choose which MEncoder options will give the best results (f.i. if you want to record a 16/9 movie you need other options than for a 4/3 five minute toon for children). What was said about the hardware profile about sharing via www.kde-files.org applies even more on quality profiles. You can allready find some at www.kde-files.org You can configure if the preview window shall start in fullscreen or not. The play button now gives some valuable information on using the preview window which in fact is an external MPlayer. Apart from these outstanding changes there have been a lot of improvements and bugfixes concerning tooltips and geometry flaws.

The scantv plugin was redesigned to make sure that a failing scantv does not freeze Kalva anymore. The save dialog for the channellist was fixed to fill in the values of the active channellist and to make sure that the channellist is set in the preferences when it gets a new name.

kdesvn 0.3 released

KDE 1701 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

kdesvn 0.3 has been released

kdesvn is a native subversion client for KDE. It tries to give subversion users a view like on a normal filesystem to a repository and a working copy. Instead of simple parsing the output of the standard subversion commandline it uses the c-api and wants to get a real subversion client with all of the goodies KDE has.

Changes in 0.3:
* most of subversion operations are implemented, some in a more basic form.
* interacting with konqueror eg. importing/adding stuff via drag and drop works
* gui mostly finished as wanted and some fixes and other stuff.

KDE 1701 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Kalva is a Lightweight Video Application

It provides a simple to use videorecorder using MEncoder to do the real work. You can schedule movies or serials. Kalva can import channellists from e.g. xawtv or xawtv4 and generate a knew one using scantv. You can edit and store that list. You might as well download a channellist from www.kde-files.org (KHotNewStuff). Kalva has a DCOP interface. This is meant as a convinient way to support recording for external apps like xmltv browsers (f.i. KTvSchedule). If You want to use the DCOP interface You can push Kalva into KDE's systemtray (works just like with JuK or amaroK). ktvapp is a simple to use and simple to setup videorecorder for the KDE. It is using MEncoder from the MPlayer package to do the real work. You can schedule a movierecording by choosing the date from a calender (will be passed to at) and a serial recording by choosing the days of the week (feeds your crontab). Save and download option for hardware profiles and quality profiles (KNewstuff) are planned for later releases.

The sources of Kalva have recently moved to kde-svn (trunc/playground/multimedia/kalva).

kdesvn-build 0.97

KDE 1701 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

kdesvn-build version 0.97 was just released.

What is it?
----------

kdesvn-build is a Perl script that can download and build KDE for you from
theKDE Subversion source repository. It includes many features to make the experience as easy as possible. It is also highly customizable, although all of the options have a sane default f or those that don't like twiddling knobs. :wink:

Some of the features of kdesvn-build include:
* Automatically checks out or updates modules from Subversion as appropriate.
* Supports "global" options that apply to every module, but can be overridd
en on a per module basis.
* Has support for checking out specific branches of a module.
* Shows the estimated progress of the build when possible, and shows the amount of time taken for a module.
* kdesvn-build tries very hard to build a module successfully. It will eve
n go so far as to automatically re-run the process starting from make -f Makefile.cvs.
* Can resume from a previous failed run.
* kdesvn-build has excellent support for Unsermake, the improved automake replacement. It will even automatically download if for you if necessary.
* The configuration file will expand tilde (~) to your home directory where appropriate, so you can use shell-style paths.
* Automatically sets up a so-called srcdir != builddir arrangement to kee
p the source directory clean.
* Command logging. Logs are dated and numbered so that you always have a log of a script run. A special symlink called latest is created in the log directory that points to the logs from the last run.
* You can checkout only a portion of a module if you'd like. For example,
you could checkout only taglib from kdesupport. The admin directory from kde-common is imported automatically if necessary.
* "Pretend" mode. You can see what steps kdesvn-build would perform without actually changing anything.

Kalzium 3.5 Preview 1 released

KDE 1701 Published by Philipp Esselbach 0

Kalzium 3.5 Preview 1 has been released:

The Kalzium-developers decided it is time for a preview of the good things to come in the next version of Kalzium. This release previews the standalone version planned for July 11 2005. It is almost finished feature wise but does not include translations and documentation as they are too much of an moving target. You can help make a better Kalzium if you test this version and give us feedback using bugs.kde.org or the usual channels. Kalzium is an interactive application which shows you information about the periodic table of the elements. Kalzium can be used as an as an information database. Kalzium has already some nice features, however but there remains things to add. As Kalzium has been included in KDE 3.1+, we still work steadily to add in some new enhancements, while hopefully making it as fast and usefull as possible. You can help us by testing it or make proposals for new features
or a better design. This version of Kalzium requires KDE 3.3 or greater.
