The death of http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/*.php

The KDE SC Release Team has decided to not use the http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/*.php files generated from the changelog_branch_*.xml anymore.

If you want your bugfix to be linked from the announcement make sure it has the "Version Fixed In" correctly set so it appears in this query (and in the future replace 4.9.1 with the correct version ;-))

KDE Randa Meetings Pledgie

Lots of people meeting and shaping the future of KDE software. Help make it happen!

Copy&paste from the Pledgie site

For the fourth year, the intense sprints in Randa, Switzerland will include key KDE projects and top developers, all collaborating concurrently under one roof, isolated from noise and distractions.

Every previous Randa meeting has been concentrated and productive, generating exceptional results; organizers and participants expect the same and more this year. And the meetings have produced significant breakthroughs for KDE users and developers.

While the participants are unpaid volunteers, there are hard expenses like accommodation, food and travel to get the volunteer contributors to Randa. If you are not attending, you can still support the Randa meeting by making a donation. As in the past, the Randa meeting will benefit everyone who uses KDE software.

4.9.0 is out!

Yay! I'm so happy that we got it out of the door, 4.9.x is going to be amazing :-)

Personally I'd like to thank Fabio d'Urso for being my new Okular co-developer (actually he did more commits than me, but don't tell anyone) and implementing the store annotations to pdf files feature both in Okular and in poppler. Fabio you rock :-)
