kdeui

Optimizations:
  • Make KAnimatedButton (used for e.g. Konqueror cogwheel) cache and reuse pixmaps for every frame, to avoid Qt keeping hundreds of duplicates of each in the global pixmap cache, reducing X pixmap usage considerably. See SVN commit 793672.

Optimizations:
  • Optimized implementation of textarea's setText for common case where new content begins with a substring of the old content. See SVN commit 799843.

  • ODT, FictionBook and Plucker backends: clear document information and TOC, so opening a new document does not show possible information of the previous. See SVN commits 798891, 798892, 798898 and 799078.
