Hi all, overnight the mirrors synced the latest stable release of KDE.
I had no many time to work on it, so I pushed it in [testing] just to be sure everything's ok. As I can't send to arch-dev-public, I'm sending this here:
This release seems good to me. (signoff x86_64 ?)
First off, New arch user here (was with redhat/fedora since about RH3 or so) - decided to move in this direction ... so far am liking it a lot. Thank you! I'll get more involved as I find my way round and learn the ways ... pre-apologies if I'm not familiar with all the protocols yet .. That said - (1) kde 4.8 - stable and working as its intended best I can tell - tested on 2 desktops and 1 laptop since last night. (2) One smallish potential problem zone on laptop is the new power applet - profiles are gone and it is no longer possible to choose a 'powersave' vs 'performance' via a toggle. If the bug[1] continues where the power applet thinks it is in battery mode after unplugging A/C, but in fact it is not (screen remains bright etc) [2] then the old way of 'fixing' it of hand toggling to performance profile and back to powersave is no longer available (at least via the power applet). So now need a CLI script to avoid battery drain in that case. Seems a step back. There is a toggle to 'turn off power management - useful for presentations on battery I suppose ... tho when I tried it earlier on battery it did not seem to restore performance mode for me ... I need to investigate that further tho'. gene [1] lenovo W520 I7 gen-2 with i915. [2] I had with all prev kde and up to 3.2.1 kernel.
