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).

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.
KOffice is an integrated office suite for KDE, the K Desktop Environment.
Includes:
KWord - A frame-based wordprocessor comparable to FrameMaker
KSpread - A powerful spreadsheet application
KPresenter - A full-featured presentation program
Kivio - A Visio-style flowcharting application
