In this week's KDE-CVS-Digest: Kooka, the KDE scanning application, now supports
ocrad, a GPL OCR engine.
JuK gets a history playlist feature, along with
some serious optimizations.
KMenu, the KMail address selection dialog,
KOrganizer and KSnapshot get usability improvements.
KStars gains the capability of generating skymaps from the commandline.
And many bugfixes in KOffice,
Kate and
Kopete.

Never expected it to be out so fast, tahnks a lot!
Jesse Yurkovich committed a change to kdelibs/kate/data
* Add REXX and CUE sheet hightlighting wish 55321
Refer to Bug 55321 - korn is using way to much memory
Huh?
Probably a reference to bug 55312 makes more sense ;-)
Fixed. Thanks for pointing it out. The entry was moved to the feature section since it was a wishlist.
Derek (who fondly remembers REXX)
REXX (OS/2) and AREXX (Amiga) were powerful languages.
Here you can find a list of implementations:
http://www2.hursley.ibm.com/rexx/rexxplat.htm
(have a look also in dmoz.org)
And here are the 3 available REXX interpreters for Linux:
- Object REXX from IBM (freeware _not GPL_ under Linux)
http://www-3.ibm.com/software/awdtools/obj-rexx/
- REXX/imc, GPL
http://users.comlab.ox.ac.uk/ian.collier/Rexx/index.html
- Regina, GPL and cross-platform

Kate has Smart Indent !! :) Just for C-Style languages for now.
YES!! Thank you Jesse! Time to 'cvs up', methinks...
:D
(ps- why do my HTML tags never work? :( )
HTML posts have been disabled for around 3 years now, ever since dot.kde.org was goatsexed.
>why do my HTML tags never work?
A long, long, time ago, someone created a javascript that when posted here, replaced all links with hrmm.. other websites :)
Thanks! :)
I have some more improvements for C Style sitting locally too ... just waiting for the ok from the other Kate devs about some source organization issues. Should be noted that C Style just insn't for C/C++ ... should work for C#/Java/ and possible Perl (somewhat :)
BTW: Python is done now too and Pascal is in the works :) ... anyone code in Ada still ;)
Haskell! Haskell! :)
Now seriously for languages like haskell, which are indentation sensitive, automatic indentation is particulary usefull and help avoid many annoyoing errors.

now all kate needs is to forget about project management and get a dark background (aka black) colour scheme. let people choose between dark or light, or just rip out vim's wonderful syntax highlighting...
this is the major reason why i dont use kate often.
As long as I am sitting in front of a crt Monitor I always choose a dark background because it is better to the eyes. With a lcd display it's the other way round. A white background seems to be less straining to the eyes ...o.k., off topic...
If you like vim more than kate, check out http://www.freehackers.org/kvim/
As always, choice is good.
Totally agree! Black backgrounds rule!
Seriously, I would probably switch from Xemacs to Kate if there was a light text on dark background color theme and a drop down list of key bindings: emacs-key-bindings for me!!!

Thanks Derek! I've always enjoyed reading your fine CVS digest :)

any chance to have this backported into the 3.1 branch?
Optimizations aren't typically backported unless they fix a bug, which this doesn't.
Let us see if at this point I can find a little disc space and compile it, I have desire to prove that new KDE.
Huh? Now what exactly do you want to tell us with that?
*puzzled*
You may want to put it off for a few weeks. There is a bit of brokeness currently, and you may have a challenge getting it to compile. I suspect post n7y things will be much better.

"Ohhhhhh... this feels good... bye bye SCO..."
A little less SCO support in KDE, even though it was obsolete :) Good going.
ocrad is linked to an https url...
You consider a secure link broken?
Given that it doesn't work, and that changing it to http does work? Yep ;)
The https version https://savannah.gnu.org/projects/ocrad/ works for me...
These days I read an interesting article in a german computer magazine about self learning spam filters, the so called Bayes- filters.
As I deleted around 600 (!) spams from an email account yesterday, I'm just courious if somebody knows about such filters for kmail?
just interested ):-
