Hi KDE release team, This summer, digiKam team has work on 2 new features : face detection and reverse geocoding.
These features have been implemented using Google Summer of code 2010. You can see more information at these pages : http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Digikam/CodingSprint2010 For Face detection we have implemented a shared library named "libkface" http://websvn.kde.org/branches/extragear/graphics/libkface/ For Reverse-Geocoding we have implemented another shared library named "libkmap" http://websvn.kde.org/branches/extragear/graphics/libkmap/ Both libraries are hosted in a dedicated branche from KDE subversion repository. As you can see, in digiKam release plan, 2.0 version is planed for may 2011 : http://www.digikam.org/drupal/about/releaseplan To be able to share this libraries between digiKam/kipi-plugins and others part of KDE applications, we have planed to move this code from GoSC2010 branche to kdegraphics/libs. Remember that digiKam team already maintain 3 shared libraries named libkipi, libkexiv2, and libkdcraw. To have digiKam and kipi-plugins 2.0 compatibile with KDE 4.6, it will be nice to move libkmap and libkface to kdegraphics/libs soon, if you are agree of course. What do you think about ? This plan still compatible with KDE 4.6 release rules : http://techbase.kde.org/Schedules/KDE4/4.6_Release_Schedule Thanks in advance Gilles Caulier digiKam team http://www.digikam.org _______________________________________________ release-team mailing list [email protected] https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/release-team
