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:
* Significant performance, interaction and rendering correctness
improvements in KHTML and Konqueror, KDE's web browser
* User interaction, rendering and stability fixes in Plasma,
the KDE4 desktop shell
* PDF backend fixes in the document viewer Okular
* Fixes in Gwenview, the image viewer's thumbnailing, more
robust retrieval and display of images with broken metadata
* Stability and interaction fixes in KMail
New Ports:
- graphics/kcoloredit
* KColorEdit is a palette files editor. It can be used
for editing color palettes and for color choosing and
naming.
- graphics/kgraphviewer
* KGraphViewer is a GraphViz DOT graph viewer for KDE. The
GraphViz programs are free-software layout engines for graphs.
KGraphViewer displays the graphs in a modern, user-friendly GUI
with all the power of a well integrated KDE application.
- graphics/kiconedit
* KIconEdit is designed to help create icons for KDE using the standard
icon palette.
- graphics/skanlite
* Skanlite is a simple image scanning application that does nothing
more than scan and save images. Skanlite can open a save dialog for
every image scanned or save the images immediately in a specified
directory with auto-generated names and format. The user can also
choose to show the scanned image before saving.

http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.1/.
Some note:
* Prefix
KDE4 will be install into a custom prefixes namely ${LOCALBASE}/kde4.
KDE4 and KDE3 can co-exist
* Sound
For sound to work, it is necessary to have dbus and hal enabled
in your system. Please see the respective documentation on how
to enable these.

Have fun!
-current archs). This has been broken for over 3 months.
configure incorrectly assumes that since FreeBSD has sqrtl,
that it also has other long math functions. Also, configure
seems to have 2 separate checks for the long math functions:
the first check looks for both asinl and sqrtl, the second
check looks for just sqrtl. FreeBSD does not currently have
asinl, so if configure just went by the first check it would
correctly determine that we do not have all the long math
functions. Remove the second check to fix the problem.

depending on $PREFIX/bin/gpg for security/gnupg1 (1.4.x) is not
correct. To work around this, change dependency line from bin/gpg
to bin/gpgv which exists in security/gnupg1 port only.

into separate ports. The OPTIONS will remain as of yet and trigger dependencies
now, for easy transition.
Update KOffice to version 1.3.2.
Add patches to fix a number of issues, including:
- fix kxkb on Xorg
- fix kdemultimedia WITH_MPEGLIB (now mpeglib_artsplug) compilation on gcc 3.4.2
with optimizations greater than -O
Add security related patches and entries to portaudit.txt.
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.
patch involved patching the core auto* routines in KDE to accept the
PTHREAD_* variables in the environment, with fallbacks. We decided the
easiest way to implement this in ports was to generate configure instead
of risking incorrect generation at port configure time.
Said patch has already been committed to HEAD in KDE and as such will be
removed with the 3.2 upgrade once it is released.
Ports using Makefile.kde that shouldn't be using them (i.e. non-KDE
modules) have this support commented out due to lack of patch.
