Hoje, o KDE anuncia o lançamento do KDE Frameworks 5.2.0.
KDE Frameworks are 60 addon libraries to Qt which provide a wide variety of commonly needed functionality in mature, peer reviewed and well tested libraries with friendly licensing terms. For an introduction see the KDE Frameworks release announcement.
Este lançamento é parte de uma série de lançamentos mensais planejados, disponibilizando melhorias aos desenvolvedores de maneira rápida e previsível.
Novo nesta versão
KActivities
- reimplementation of the file item plugin for linking files to activities
KArchive
- fix handling of uncompressed files
KConfigWidgets
- fix missing default shortcuts for standard actions, leading to many runtime warnings
- better support for QGroupBox in KConfigDialogManager
KCoreAddons
- Mark KAboutData::setProgramIconName() as deprecated, it did not do anything. Use QApplication::setWindowIcon(QIcon::fromTheme("...")) instead.
- new classes Kdelibs4ConfigMigrator and KPluginMetaData
KDeclarative
- added org.kde.kio component.
KImageFormats
- disable the DDS and JPEG-2000 plugins when Qt version is 5.3 or later
KIO
- now follows the mime-apps spec, for better interoperability with gio when it comes to the user's preferred and default apps.
- new classes EmptyTrashJob and RestoreJob.
- new functions isClipboardDataCut and setClipboardDataCut.
KNewStuff
- installing "stuff" works again (porting bug)
KWidgetsAddons
- new class KColumnResizer (makes it easy to vertically align widgets across groups)
KWindowSystem
- New method KWindowSystem::setOnActivities
KXmlGui
- KActionCollection::setDefaultShortcuts now makes the shortcut active too, to simplify application code.
Threadweaver
- The maximum worker count will now decrease if a lower value is set after workers have been created. Previously, workers would remain active once they have been created.
- Examples from the previous ThreadWeaverDemos Github repository are being merged into the KF5 ThreadWeaver repo.
- The maximum worker count can now be set to zero (the previous minimum was 1). Doing so will effectively halt processing in the queue.
- Documentation of various aspects of ThreadWeaver use is becoming part of the KDE Frameworks Cookbook. Parts of it is located in the examples/ directory.
Buildsystem changes
- Support for relative libexec dir.
Frameworkintegration
- the file dialog now remembers its size correctly, and works better with remote URLs.
Getting started
You can discuss and share ideas on this release in the comments section of the dot article.
Instalando pacotes binários
No Linux, usar os pacotes da sua distribuição favorita é o meio recomendado de ter acesso ao KDE Frameworks. Veja como instalar aplicativos da KDE na sua distribuição
Compilação do código fonte
O código-fonte completo do KDE Frameworks 5.2.0 pode ser livremente baixado. As instruções para compilação e instalação estão disponíveis na página de informações do KDE Frameworks 5.2.0.
Compilar usando o código fonte é possível usando os comandos básicos cmake .; make; make install. Para um único framework de primeiro nível, isso costuma ser a solução mais fácil. Pessoas interessadas em contribuir aos frameworks ou ficar sabendo do progresso de desenvolvimento do conjunto todo podem achar mais simples utilizar o kdesrc-build. O Frameworks 5.2.0 requer o Qt
A detailed listing of all Frameworks with API documentation is on api.kde.org.
Participe
Os interessados em acompanhar e contribuir para o desenvolvimento do Frameworks podem dar uma olhada nos repositórios git e acompanhar as discussões na lista de e-mails do desenvolvimento do KDE Frameworks. Políticas e o estado dos atuais projetos e planos está disponível na wiki do Frameworks. Discussões em tempo real ocorrem no canal de IRC #kde-devel no Libera Chat.
