Kde (KDE) bude příští Akademy? Akademy 2014, každoroční summit komunity KDE se bude konat od 6. do 12. září v Brně!

Brno, Česká republika

Řekněte nám něco o sobě. Jaké jsou vaše vazby na KDE? Jsme skupinka nadšenců do otevřeného a svobodného softwaru. Někteří jsou studenti, jiní pracují jako vývojáři, testeři, či jinak přispívají do různých open source projektů. Všichni ale sdílíme jednu vášeň &#8212 KDE. Pro některé z nás je KDE náplň naší práce, někteří příspíváme ve volném čase. Něktěří z nás jsou jen uživatelé, ale jak se lépe zapojit do komunity KDE, než organizováním Akademy? Mnozí z nás jsou členy Fedora KDE SIG &#8212 týmu zodpovědného za KDE ve Fedoře. V minulosti se také někteří podíleli na organizaci podobných konferencí a akcí. Přivést KDE komunitu do Brna byl již dlouho náš sen, a když jsme konečně dostali příležitost, bez váhání jsme se ji chopili.

The KDE Community is proud to announce the latest major updates to KDE Applications delivering new features and fixes. With Plasma Workspaces and the KDE Platform frozen and receiving only long term support, those teams are focusing on the technical transition to Frameworks 5. The upgrade in the version number for the Platform is only for packaging convenience. All bug fixes and minor features developed since the release of Platform 4.11 have been included. This release is translated into 52 languages; more languages are expected to be added in subsequent monthly minor bugfix releases. The Documentation Team updated several application handbooks for this release.

KDE has made available the Release Candidate of the new versions of KDE Applications and Development Platform.

In the past, major releases usually included all three elements of the complete software family produced by KDE. This release does not include Plasma Workspaces, which was frozen for new features in 4.11.x. In addition, the Development Platform has seen only minor changes for a number of releases in anticipation of KDE Frameworks 5. So this release is mainly about improving and polishing KDE Applications.

In this week's KDE Commit-Digest:

• In KDE Frameworks, new KColorSchemeManager supports changing color scheme in apps
• Kate adds an option to flash matching brackets
• Krita allows multibrush to use an angled axis and have an option to show the axis; new implementation of the brush outline display
• KStars sees major update of Ekos and KStars FITSViewer tool
• Trojita adds support for more decoding formats.
