Kivio 0.9.2 released

TheKompany has just released kivio-0.9.2.
Kivio is now officially part of KOffice, and the code is in the KOffice CVS as well as links on www.koffice.org. New features include printing, right-mouse-button menus on more tools, double clicking a stencil now puts you in text-edit mode, size and position actions have been moved off the toolbar and into a dock-window, snap to grid is now implemented, better zooming abilities, birds-eye-view of canvas, a zoom manager, and various bug fixes.

If you click the back button and look to right under "Recent software" you'll see that Aethera 0.9.0 is out too.
Busy Kompany, that one ;-)

Seems like apps.kde.com have been kde-dotted by the overwhelming interest ;-)

I did sent the Aethera announcement to dot this morning, but I guess it hasn't hit yet. I actually sent this Kivio announcement 2 days ago. Sometimes the stuff shows right up, sometimes it takes a little while :), regardless I think dot is a great site, I hit it more than /. these days.

Hello again, Shawn. Sorry to have disturbed you plans, I'll shut up about Aethera for now ;-)

Well, the kivio thing was a slight screw-up.

Anyway, we could sure use some more help here at dot.kde.org. Personally, I've been busy lately, and it seems so have others -- I'll see what I can do about getting some active help for the site.

It does help if the articles you submit are formatted/phrased nicely already, otherwise we end up with a big blob of text and someone has to find the time to edit it before posting the story.

In any case please KEEP SUBMITTING ARTICLES! ;-)

Thanks,
Navin.

Can anyone get kivio to work on Mandrake 7.2? The last beta worked ok, but this one doesn't even seem to load...

by Shawn Gordon (not verified)

Make sure you have totally removed the prior version, we've updated the FAQ to explain this. You could also try compiling the source instead, but make sure you have the old version gone first.

Hrmm... still erroring out... just spits out it's shutdown code if launched from the terminal.

I deleted all the files like you said (unless I missed some that are installed elsewhere instead of the Home directory). Guess I'll have to investigate some more :-(

Hey Eron,

This is something completely new to me. I've never seen it auto-shutdown like that.

Have you tried installing from the source tarball?

There is one thing I know which needs to be changed though I'm not sure if it is required for the program to work properly (I doubt it). The libraries currently get installed under 'lib' instead of 'modules', or something like that. I've seen messages like this scroll by when I start the program.

I haven't done anything since then on it... guess
I could try to compile it - what did you say needed to be changed?

by Dave Marotti (not verified)

Nothing should need to be changed. I was just saying there are some code changes I need to make, actually, Makefile changes. The program complains that it found some libraries in lib, and not modules. I need to change that. But that shouldn't affect your execution of the program.

Hello,

I develop Kivio under Mandrake 7.2, so I'm pretty sure it works :)

I am however, using CVS versions of KOffice and I don't recall the version of KDE I'm developing with, it may be CVS (older) as well.

got that, on a pretty standard M7.2, too.
