This changes the buildlink3.mk files to use an include guard for the
recursive include. The use of BUILDLINK_DEPTH, BUILDLINK_DEPENDS,
BUILDLINK_PACKAGES and BUILDLINK_ORDER is handled by a single new
variable BUILDLINK_TREE. Each buildlink3.mk file adds a pair of
enter/exit marker, which can be used to reconstruct the tree and
to determine first level includes. Avoiding := for large variables
(BUILDLINK_ORDER) speeds up parse time as += has linear complexity.
The include guard reduces system time by avoiding reading files over and
over again. For complex packages this reduces both %user and %sys time to
half of the former time.
- assume that Python 2.4 and 2.5 are compatible and allow checking for
fallout.
- remove PYTHON_VERSIONS_COMPATIBLE that are obsoleted by the 2.3+
default. Modify the others to deal with the removals.
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.
