4.9 Release schedule

Hi guys, are we releasing 4.9?

Last i heard the Frameworks guys were aiming at some kind of release around 
Akademy time (which is kind of the same time we'd release 4.9 in a 6 months 
cycle). Obviously this means that either:
 a) We release 4.9 not using frameworks at all (and using kdelibs 4.8 renamed 
to 4.9 like we did this time)
 b) We wait until frameworks is out

I'm leaning towards a) since b) might end up meaning an undefinite delay.

Opinions?

Last-minute crash fix for Ark in 4.8.0

Hi there,

I have just committed 0e67d6db9e7a5a0f90fcacaee11042b89b79d96b to Ark's
KDE/4.8 branch, which should make it not crash while extracting any 7z
archive. The commit which introduced the problem is only present in
4.7.95 and 4.7.97 (ie. no stable version is affected).

Include commit in KDE 4.8.0

Hello,

I just fixed a logic error in the battery applet. The commit is
3919480e78c9b8854ce6e17f5ecbfbc009d40fef on kde-workspace's 4.8
branch, and it would be awesome to have it in 4.8.0. Sorry for the
annoyance.

Bug in KGpg for 4.8.0

Hi Dirk, hi everyone,

this morning a problem was reported that would prevent KGpg from starting
up when no configuration file previously existed. This bug has been fixed
in fa0b4565a2c4aa672dc4c285d1bd445e055da626 in KDE/4.8 branch of KGpg.
Please make sure that the 4.8.0 tag includes this fix.

Thanks and sorry,

Eike

Right... now the question is, are the combined tarballs going away with 4.8.0 
or will they exist in the future again (as in 4.7.97)?

No problem in principle with either thing here, it would just be nice to know.

Cheers, Andreas

kdepim-runtime fix for 4.8.0

I've committed an important fix to the KAlarm Akonadi resource, without which the calendar cannot be
updated and is likely to prevent alarms being created. It probably fixes bug 290050, although that could
be different. The commit is 58d1fe500ec96ea56f280fc0387b87b34580133d, updating kdepim-runtime/resources/kalarm/kalarm/kalarmresource.cpp.

I'm not sure whether all commits to the 4.8 branch are automatically included in the final release, so can
you please ensure that this commit is included in the final 4.8.0 release.

Potential data loss with bug 289945

Hi all,

Since the release of KDE 4.8 approaches fast, I would like to notify
you about https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=289945

I raised the severity of that bug to grave as it can lead to data
loss. So far it is only reproducible with KDE 4.8, starting once I
upgraded to beta and still around with RC2.

Find below a little discussion I had with Rolf Eike this morning in #kde-devel:

<Dakon> looks like you are involved in bug 289945 somehow
<Mamarok> sort of, yes, I had that problem with RC1
<Dakon> bug 291050 has a comment saying it's a dupe
<Dakon> I remember having seen this on my laptop, too
<Dakon> for me it always opened the dragged mails in kate
<Mamarok> it chooses whatever open window is on the same desktop, for
me it tried to open stuff in Chromium
<Dakon> since this can lead to data loss and leakage of sensible
information I would vote for raising the severity of this bug
<Mamarok> the problem is with the focus I think
<Mamarok> yes, sounds like a very good idea
<Dakon> no, I can surely say it doesn't
<Dakon> I have only one window per virtual desktop
<Dakon> kate is always on #6, kontact on #1
<Mamarok> oh, so even cross virtual  desktop? Choosing whatever it
finds that is open? Ouch
<Dakon> so while this likely has to do something with focus, it's not
related to the same desktop
<Dakon> no idea, maybe it's just the last application that had focus
before or whatever

Somebody suggested in a comment of that bug that it might be related
to Qt, but I didn't change my Qt version since quite some time, the
only change was my upgrade to KDE 4.8 beta, currently RC2

Thank you for looking into this

Regards, Myriam
