KDE Community ships sirst translation and service release of the 4.1
dree desktop, containing numerous bugfixes, Performance Improvements
and Translation Updates.
Pretty much all applications have received the developers' attention,
resulting in a long list of bugfixes and improvements. The most significant
changes are:

improvements in KHTML and Konqueror, KDE's web browser
* User interaction, rendering and stability fixes in Plasma,
the KDE4 desktop shell

Important changes:
==================
KDE:
- Audio/arts does not install artswrapper anymore, instead it is provided by
audio/artswrapper. See UPDATING.
- misc/kdeaddons3 is now a metaport with
editors/kate-plugins
editors/vimpart
games/atlantikdesigner
misc/kaddressbook-plugins
misc/kfile-plugins
misc/kicker-applets
misc/knewsticker-scripts
misc/konq-plugins
misc/ksig
misc/renamedlgplugins
multimedia/noatun-plugins
net/kontact-plugins
as slave ports.
- A number of KDE ports now uses OPTIONS do make various WITH_* options more
visible.
- Plist fixes
- devel/kdevelop should be able to detect FreeBSD's autoconf/automake now for
newly created projects.
- kdebase will no longer remove previous KDM configurations. This won't take
effect during the update from 3.2.0 to 3.2.1 (as deinstalling 3.2.0 will still
remove the configuration), but subsequent updates will merge old configs.
QT:
- Previous versions of QT could be compiled with debugging-support enabled by
defining DEBUG. This switch has been renamed to the more unambiguous
WANT_QT_DEBUG (similar to WANT_KDE_DEBUG in the KDE ports).
Important changes:
==================
- Kmail and knode have been moved from kdenetwork to kdepim. This
means you will have to install kdepim if you want to continue using
kmail or knode. This is to ease integration with korganizer, in
the new 'Kontact' application.
- The arabic translations for KDE and KOffice have been moved from
misc to the arabic category.
- There is a new module called kdeaccessibility in the accessibility
category. It contains a few utilities for disabled users like a
magnification lens and a text-to-speech frontend.
- In KDM, you need to select the 'CUSTOM' session profile in order
to have your .xsession executed. This is particularly important if
you're using the aegypten tools
(http://freebsd.kde.org/howtos/aegypten-kmail.php).
- We have started making more parts of the ports optional. In kdepim,
both Kandy and KPilot can be turned off with ports-knobs. This
process will continue in the 3.2 series.

http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-3.1.3.php
(may not work until a few hours after this commit - we jumped the gun a little
in order to have the update in place at the time the security notifications for
KDE 3.1.2 will be released together with the announcement of KDE 3.1.3).

Thanks and credits need to go to the whole KDE-FreeBSD team, as well
as everyone on kde@freebsd.org for providing feedback, reporting bugs
and just using the KDE ports.
Approved by: will (real mentor asleep)
release for 3.1: az hr id is ko lv. These modules remain at their previous
release (and still work), but may be incomplete or incorrect. However,
their distfiles were moved to DIST_SUBDIR=KDE/kde-i18n anyway.
rigorous testing performed on the part of the KDE/FreeBSD Project
over the last three weeks. Thanks to everyone who helped test!
General changes:
[1] Follow KDE2 style by moving KDE core specific macros and
the like to x11/kde3/Makefile.kde.
[2] Fix a variety of comments or miscellaneous data to reflect
that this is KDE3 and not KDE2.
[3] Account for more empty directories in the PLISTs.
deskutils/kdepim3:
[4] More #include <malloc.h> -> #include <stdlib.h>.
audio/arts:
[5] Upgrade to 1.0.1.
[6] Point at MASTER_SITE_KDE not my own mirror.
audio/kdemultimedia3:
[7] Account for the removal of the <machine/soundcard.h> symlink.
Simply point all such includes at <sys/soundcard.h>.
editors/koffice-kde3:
[8] Get rid of #include <values.h> preemptively.
devel/kdesdk3:
[9] Remove cervisia from build if building on -CURRENT due to
C++-unsafe sys/wait.h. The header is believed to have been
fixed in newer -CURRENT (>= Jun 5) but we have not tested that.
devel/kdevelop:
[10] Upgrade to 2.1.1 and use KDE 3 version.
[11] Remove a number of suggested dependencies that no longer fit.
[12] Account for where the docs for Qt went since they got moved
to fit in hier(7) better.
graphics/kdegraphics3:
[13] Turn off kuickshow by default because it depends on imlib,
which in turn depends on gtk/glib. This will be revisited
when we split up the KDE ports a bit.
games/kdegames3:
[14] Fix compile error on -CURRENT where kpat/freecell-solver/md5.h
tried to define uint32_t after sys/types.h already had.
sysutils/kdeadmin3:
No particular changes.
misc/kdeaddons3:
No particular changes.
misc/kdeedu3:
[15] Re-add the huge number of missing @dirrm's.
misc/kdeutils3:
No particular changes.
misc/kde3-i18n-* and */kde3-i18n:
For the most part, no particular changes. A huge number of I18N
message updates went into this release, though.
french/kde3-i18n:
[16] Fix build Makefile error due to tarball builder's env.
net/kdenetwork3:
No particular changes.
x11-clocks/kdetoys3:
No particular changes.
x11/kdebase3:
[17] Account for mkfontdir "soft" build-time dependency. If
mkfontdir is available, use it to build fonts.dir where
kdebase installs fonts. Otherwise, don't bother.
[18] Patch ElectricEyes.desktop to use the name of the program
that FreeBSD uses when you install the port for it.
[19] Patches for KDM merged into KDE 3.0.1.
[20] Properly fix kdm/backend/xdmcp.c string format error.
x11/kdelibs3:
[21] Support the KDE3 version check to make sure no one
tries to install KDE2 then KDE3. The 'kde-version-check'
target is centralized in x11/kde3/Makefile.kde.
[22] Remove patch for kdeprint/configure.in.in.
[23] Add patch to fix critical icon loader bug.
x11/kde3:
[24] Add Makefile.kde for centralizing KDE core-specific macros
that don't belong in bsd.kde.mk.
x11-toolkits/qt30:
[25] Mark broken on any XFree86 version < 4 due to packing list
related problems if we tried to support XFree86 3.
[26] Error out if the user has Qt2 installed already.
x11-wm/kdeartwork3:
[27] Add USE_MESA to explicitly support the 3D screensavers.
[28] Re-add a large number of missing @dirrm's.

original versions of these ports, so some PORTREVISIONs were bumped. See
http://freebsd.kde.org/ and mailing lists linked to from there for info
on the packages generated to test these ports.
bsd.kde.mk has already been updated a few days ago to work with these.
Some patches applied to fix a few bugs were:
deskutils/kdepim3:
[1] Remove kpilot from build because it wasn't ready at release.
editors/koffice-kde3:
[2] Fix compile time bugs for FreeBSD.
misc/kdeedu3:
[3] Fix compile problem with kvoctrain.
x11/kdebase3:
[4] Fix KDM CPU usage and login bug.
Some caveats:
* All PLISTs are broken for deinstall due to script bug that I
didn't notice until very recently. This will be fixed when I
commit an update tomorrow. These ports should still install
perfectly fine though. They should also deinstall without
giving errors, but will leave directories behind.
* You can't install this with any other version of QT or KDE
already installed. I am not sure the checks are 100% working,
but fixes for these will be forthcoming. This is mainly due
to a policy decision made by kde@ to make QT/KDE ports install
the way the rest of the world expects it to while also still
conforming to FreeBSD's hier(7). For reference on this decision,
please consult the KDE/FreeBSD mailing list archives. This
decision fixes 2-year-old bug reports relating to how we handled
this for KDE2 vs KDE1.
