KDE publica a versión 19.04.0 das aplicacións de KDE

Thursday, 18 April 2019

The KDE community is happy to announce the release of KDE Applications 19.04.

Our community continuously works on improving the software included in our KDE Application series. Along with new features, we improve the design, usability and stability of all our utilities, games, and creativity tools. Our aim is to make your life easier by making KDE software more enjoyable to use. We hope you like all the new enhancements and bug fixes you'll find in 19.04!

What's new in KDE Applications 19.04

Resolvéronse máis de 150 fallos. Estas correccións recuperan funcionalidades desactivadas, normalizan os atallos, e resolven quebras, facendo as aplicacións de KDE máis fáciles de usar e permitíndolle ser máis produtivo.

Xestión de ficheiros

Dolphin is KDE's file manager. It also connects to network services, such as SSH, FTP, and Samba servers, and comes with advanced tools to find and organize your data.

Novas funcionalidades:

• We have expanded thumbnail support, so Dolphin can now display thumbnails for several new file types: Microsoft Office files, .epub and .fb2 eBook files, Blender files, and PCX files. Additionally, thumbnails for text files now show syntax highlighting for the text inside the thumbnail.
• You can now choose which split view pane to close when clicking the 'Close split' button.
• This version of Dolphin introduces smarter tab placement. When you open a folder in a new tab, the new tab will now be placed immediately to the right of the current one, instead of always at the end of the tab bar.
• Tagging items is now much more practical, as tags can be added or removed using the context menu.
• We have improved the default sorting parameters for some commonly-used folders. By default, the Downloads folder is now sorted by date with grouping enabled, and the Recent Documents view (accessible by navigating to recentdocuments:/) is sorted by date with a list view selected.

Entre as correccións de fallo están:

• When using a modern version of the SMB protocol, you can now discover Samba shares for Mac and Linux machines.
• Re-arranging items in the Places panel once again works properly when some items are hidden.
• After opening a new tab in Dolphin, that new tab's view now automatically gains keyboard focus.
• Dolphin now warns you if you try to quit while the terminal panel is open with a program running in it.
• We fixed many memory leaks, improving Dolphin's overall performance.

The AudioCD-KIO allows other KDE applications to read audio from CDs and automatically convert it into other formats.

• The AudioCD-KIO now supports ripping into Opus.
• We made CD info text really transparent for viewing.

Edición de vídeo

This is a landmark version for KDE's video editor. Kdenlive has gone through an extensive re-write of its core code as more than 60%% of its internals has changed, improving its overall architecture.

Entre as melloras están:

• A cronoloxía reescribiuse para usar QML.
• Cando pon un fragmento na cronoloxía, o son e o vídeo van sempre a pistas independentes.
• Agora a cronoloxía permite navegación co teclado: os fragmentos, as composicións e os fotogramas clave poden moverse co teclado. Ademais, a altura das pistas pode axustarse.
• In this version of Kdenlive, the in-track audio recording comes with a new voice-over feature.
• Melloramos a funcionalidade de copiar e pegar: funciona entre distintas xanelas de proxecto. Tamén melloramos a xestión de fragmentos proxy, e agora os fragmentos poden eliminarse de maneira individual.
• Coa versión 19.04 volve a compatibilidade con pantallas de monitores BlackMagic externos e tamén hai novas guías predefinidas para monitores.
• Melloramos a xestión de fotogramas clave, dándolle unha aparencia e fluxo de traballo máis consistentes. Tamén melloramos o titulador facendo que os botóns de aliñar se axusten a zonas seguras, engadindo guías configurábeis e cores de fondo, e mostrando os elementos que faltan.
• Corriximos o fallo da cronoloxía que descolocaba ou retiraba fragmentos, que ocorría ao mover un grupo de fragmentos.
• Corriximos o fallo de imaxes JPG que renderizaba as imaxes como pantallas brancas en Windows. Tamén corriximos os fallos que afectaban á captura de pantalla en Windows.
• Apart from all of the above, we have added many small usability enhancements that will make using Kdenlive easier and smoother.

Oficina

Okular is KDE's multipurpose document viewer. Ideal for reading and annotating PDFs, it can also open ODF files (as used by LibreOffice and OpenOffice), ebooks published as ePub files, most common comic book files, PostScript files, and many more.

• Improved support for touchscreen navigation means you will be able to move backwards and forwards using a touchscreen when in Presentation mode.
• Users who prefer manipulating documents from the command-line will be able to perform smart text search with the new command-line flag that lets you open a document and highlight all occurrences of a given piece of text.
• Okular now properly displays links in Markdown documents that span more than one line.
• The trim tools have fancy new icons.

KMail is KDE's privacy-protecting email client. Part of the Kontact groupware suite, KMail supports all email systems and allows you to organize your messages into a shared virtual inbox or into separate accounts (your choice). It supports all kinds of message encryption and signing, and lets you share data such as contacts, meeting dates, and travel information with other Kontact applications.

Entre as melloras están:

• KMail now has an option to start directly in system tray without opening the main window.

Desenvolvemento

Kate is KDE's full-featured text editor, ideal for programming thanks to features such as tabs, split-view mode, syntax highlighting, a built-in terminal panel, word completion, regular expressions search and substitution, and many more via the flexible plugin infrastructure.

Entre as melloras están:

Os botóns de pechar móstranse nas lapelas de maneira predeterminada, e as iconas mostraranse só ao usar un perfil cunha icona personalizada. Por último, pero non por iso menos importante, o atallo Ctrl+Tab permite cambiar rapidamente entre a lapela actual e a anterior.

Spread the Word

Non-technical contributors are an important part of KDE’s success. While proprietary software companies have huge advertising budgets for new software releases, KDE depends on people talking with other people. Even for those who are not software developers, there are many ways to support the KDE Applications release. Report bugs. Encourage others to join the KDE Community. Or support the nonprofit organization behind the KDE community

Please spread the word on the Social Web. Submit stories to news sites, use channels like delicious, digg, reddit, and twitter. Upload screenshots of your new set-up to services like Facebook, Flickr, ipernity and Picasa, and post them to appropriate groups. Create screencasts and upload them to YouTube, Blip.tv, and Vimeo. Please tag posts and uploaded materials with 'KDE'. This makes them easy to find, and gives the KDE Promo Team a way to analyze coverage for this KDE Applications release.
