08th January 2015. KDE today announces the release of KDE Frameworks 5.6.0.
KDE Frameworks are 60 addon libraries to Qt which provide a wide variety of commonly needed functionality in mature, peer reviewed and well tested libraries with friendly licensing terms. For an introduction see the Frameworks 5.0 release announcement. This release adds two new frameworks: * KPackage, a library to load and install packages of non binary files as they were a plugin * NetworkManagerQt, a Qt wrapper for the NetworkManager API Here are the other changes: KActivities Introducing the ActivityInfo QML object Linking now supports special values alongside activity ids. Supported values: * - :global - links to all activities * - :current - links to the current activity KCoreAddons KDirWatch can now watch /dev/shm as well (bug 314982) KDELibs4Migration now always returns an absolute path KCrash Fix build on FreeBSD Kdelibs4Support Add Lithuania to the list of Euro countries KdeSU Fix build on OSX and on FreeBSD KHtml 6 bug fixes forward-ported from kdelibs4. KIO Add support for .hidden files, for users to hide some files from views. (feature 246260) New method KRun::runService, like KRun::run but returns the PID of the newly started process. kioexec: fixed many porting bugs, to make it work again KRun::run: fixed porting bug, to make it work again in the case where KProcess is used directly KRun: make klauncher runtime dependency optional Fix compilation on MSVC Performance: decrease memory consumption of UDSEntry Actions in popupmenus: in case of multiple mimetypes selected, services that support all mimetypes are now added to the menu. New job: KIO::DropJob *KIO::drop(QDropEvent* ev, QUrl destUrl). Replaces KonqOperations::doDrop. Restart directory watcher after a failed delete operation Fix false warning about X-KDE-Protocols unused in desktop files without that field. Merge various settings modules (KCMs) related to kio, into the kio framework. When copying/moving out the trash, make the files writable. KIO::file_move now does the chmod on the destination file before emitting result. KNotifications Remove NotifyBySound. NotifyByAudio implements the "Sound" notification already Fix crash accessing dangling pointer in NotifyByPopup KRunner Do not detect anything with a '.' as a NetworkLocation (porting bug, bug 340140). One can also uses a decimal point in a calculator. KService Fix build on MSVC. KTextEditor Fix build on MSVC. vimode bugfixes add syntax file for Oracle PL/SQL ppd highlighting: better support for multiline values KWidgetsAddons Add runtime style element extension convenience functions for widgets: KStyleExtensions KWindowSystem Add OnScreenDisplay window type Fix build on FreeBSD Plasma-framework Let month menu navigate in current year (bug 342327) Expose new OnScreenDisplay window type in Dialog Migrate Plasma::Package to KPackage Fix labels not picking up changes to font settings at runtime Fix text not properly updating its color when switching themes (especially dark<-->light) Fix placeholder text in textfields being too strong when using a light theme Set visibility on mainItem to match Dialog Load IconItem immediately upon componentComplete() Use the same text colour for comboboxes as buttons Performance improvements (less config-file reparsing, use shared config...) roundToIconSize(0) now returns 0 Give undo notifications a title Solid Enable fstab and upower backends on FreeBSD Power: Add aboutToSuspend signal Buildsystem changes ECM's KDEInstallDirs now supports KDE_INSTALL_* variables, which should be used in preference to the CMAKE_INSTALL_* variables or the older KDELibs4-compatible variables. The older forms of the variables are still supported (and kept in sync) unless KDE_INSTALL_DIRS_NO_DEPRECATED or KDE_INSTALL_DIRS_NO_CMAKE_VARIABLES are set to TRUE. See the documentation for more details. Add COMPATIBILITY argument to ecm_setup_version(). Lots of libraries will want to use SameMajorVersion to make sure searching for version 1 of a library doesn't give you version 2, for example. Fix ECMQueryQmake when Qt5Core is missing.
