Although this is a maintenance release, there are some new features in
Krita (new filters and a smudge paint operation) and Kexi (a new User
Mode to deploy Kexi applications). Many bugs were fixed.
Since this is a maintenance release, only two of the components,
Krita and Kexi, added new features.
* New Krita Feature and Many Bugfixes
Krita, the image editing application of KOffice has gotten a new Color
Level filter. Among the bugfixes can be mentioned the wrong warning
telling the user that unsharp mask filter didn't work even though it did.
* New Kexi Features and Many Bugfixes
Kexi, the desktop database application competing with MS Access, is the
other application in KOffice that got new features in this release. Among
them can be mentioned a new combo box taking advantage of the database
relationships, and parameter queries. These features developed as an answer
to user's demand, will make programming database solutions much easier.
* Security Fix in Powerpoint Import Filter
There is a security issue in the import filter for Powerpoint .ppt files
that is fixed with this release.
* Bugfixes For Most Other Components
This release is mostly a feature release of Krita and Kexi, but also
contains major enhancements to the OpenDocument and MathML support of
KFormula and new scripting functionality. This version also contains
a vastly improved version of KPlato, the project planning application.
Major Improvements in this release are:
* Many crashes are fixed
* PowerPC support in Krita works now
* Karbon improved interaction with shapes a lot
* Various other bugfixes
and add a new helper target and script, "show-buildlink3", that outputs
a listing of the buildlink3.mk files included as well as the depth at
which they are included.
For example, "make show-buildlink3" in fonts/Xft2 displays:
zlib
fontconfig
iconv
zlib
freetype2
expat
freetype2
Xrender
renderproto
Major Improvements in this release are:
* Improved OASIS OpenDocument Support, especially in KSpread
* Rotating large images and scaling of images now works correctly in Krita
* Various other bugfixes
Known issues:
* Two issues with Kexi forms. Forms may not appear in Kexi (1.0.0 version
was affected as well). No existing data or design can be lost, though.
SUSE and Debian packages are not affected. Please read the details.
* Krita crashes when saving an image containing exif information to .kra
twice
This version sports OpenDocument as the default file format,
accessibility, a new project planning tool KPlato, professional color
support and adjustment layers in Krita and the long awaited Kexi 1.0.
RECOMMENDED is removed. It becomes ABI_DEPENDS.
BUILDLINK_RECOMMENDED.foo becomes BUILDLINK_ABI_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS.foo becomes BUILDLINK_API_DEPENDS.foo.
BUILDLINK_DEPENDS does not change.
IGNORE_RECOMMENDED (which defaulted to "no") becomes USE_ABI_DEPENDS
which defaults to "yes".
Added to obsolete.mk checking for IGNORE_RECOMMENDED.
I did not manually go through and fix any aesthetic tab/spacing issues.
I have tested the above patch on DragonFly building and packaging
subversion and pkglint and their many dependencies.
I have also tested USE_ABI_DEPENDS=no on my NetBSD workstation (where I
have used IGNORE_RECOMMENDED for a long time). I have been an active user
of IGNORE_RECOMMENDED since it was available.
As suggested, I removed the documentation sentences suggesting bumping for
"security" issues.
As discussed on tech-pkg.
I will commit to revbump, pkglint, pkg_install, createbuildlink separately.
Note that if you use wip, it will fail! I will commit to pkgsrc-wip
later (within day).
