News update: KDE 4 port, 1.1.x plans, Qt 4.5 Beta 1

January 30, 2009

• The initial KDE 4 port of Konversation has landed in SVN. There’s still a lot of work to be done; join us at #konversation on Freenode or at our mailing list if you’re interested in helping out.
• We’re planning on shipping a 1.1.1 maintenance release for KDE 3 this quarter, rounding up the bug fixes done since 1.1 and enabling Amarok 2 support in the bundled ‘media’ script.
• Speaking of the ‘media’ script: If you’re using Qt 4.5 Beta 1, you might have noticed Amarok 2 support no longer working. This is due to a change in the default output format of the ‘qdbus’ application included with Qt. This change has since been reverted, so a recent Qt 4.5 snapshot should get you back in the game.
