The first four patches come directly from KDE's cvs for
KOFFICE_1_2_BRANCH. The patch-ae comes from a KDE bug report. I
did not bump the revision, because no features changed -- this just
makes it build on some platforms that couldn't build before. It
is said that these fixes use a non-standard C++ header and maybe
may not work with some compilers.
KOffice 1.2.1 is a stability release, with the principal improvements over
KOffice 1.2, released last September, occurring in the spreadsheet program
(KSpread).
21th October 2002 - Fix available for KSpread's crash
A fix is available for kspread's crashes when working with long text
which overlaps several cells or when working with merged cells.
Changes are:
Framework
- Startup notification activated for all KOffice applications

name (more IANA compliant)

security reasons

- Fixed crash on Ctrl+K at end of paragraph
- Fixed crash when hiding headers or footers (which contains a
variable)
- Transform into normal frame when copying header or footer
- Fixed charset conversion issue for "personal expressions"
- Save all frames, even for the main frameset, so that borders etc.
are kept
- Allow to insert GIF images
- Fixed applying a format change (e.g. new font family) to a selection
- Insert Frame Break at cursor position
- Make the document readonly during a search/replace or a spellcheck
- Fixed crash when undoing a format change, due to cursor positionned
too far right

right)

Davies <mark@mcs.vuw.ac.nz> with changes by me. Pkgsrc-related changes
include:
* Strongly buildlinkifying.
* Using qt2-designer-kde for a uic that understands KDE2 widgets.
* Fixing sources to compile with egcs-1.1.2's much-less-than-compliant
C++ compiler.
Given the rapid development between the 1.0 and 1.1 releases, plus the
scope of the applications in the suite, it's difficult to summarize the
changes. The major change is that KIllustrator is now named Kontour
for trademark reasons. Aside from that, basically everything is more
featureful and more stable, plus there are more import/export filters for
other application suites.
