multimedia/phonon port has been split into phonon itself, phonon-xine
and phono-gstreamer backends. After updating phonon port you have
to install at least one backend. phonon-xine backend is recommended
for KDE.

for FreeBSD. The official KDE 4.1.1 release notes can be found at
http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/changelog4_1to4_1_1.php.
KDE Community ships sirst translation and service release of the 4.1
dree desktop, containing numerous bugfixes, Performance Improvements
and Translation Updates.
Pretty much all applications have received the developers' attention,
resulting in a long list of bugfixes and improvements. The most significant
changes are:
* Significant performance, interaction and rendering correctness
improvements in KHTML and Konqueror, KDE's web browser
* User interaction, rendering and stability fixes in Plasma,
the KDE4 desktop shell
* PDF backend fixes in the document viewer Okular
* Fixes in Gwenview, the image viewer's thumbnailing, more
robust retrieval and display of images with broken metadata
* Stability and interaction fixes in KMail
New Ports:
- graphics/kcoloredit
* KColorEdit is a palette files editor. It can be used
for editing color palettes and for color choosing and
naming.
- graphics/kgraphviewer
* KGraphViewer is a GraphViz DOT graph viewer for KDE. The
GraphViz programs are free-software layout engines for graphs.
KGraphViewer displays the graphs in a modern, user-friendly GUI
with all the power of a well integrated KDE application.
- graphics/kiconedit
* KIconEdit is designed to help create icons for KDE using the standard
icon palette.
- graphics/skanlite
* Skanlite is a simple image scanning application that does nothing
more than scan and save images. Skanlite can open a save dialog for
every image scanned or save the images immediately in a specified
directory with auto-generated names and format. The user can also
choose to show the scanned image before saving.
for FreeBSD. The official KDE 4.1.0 release notes can be found at
http://www.kde.org/announcements/4.1/.
Some note:
* Prefix
KDE4 will be install into a custom prefixes namely ${LOCALBASE}/kde4.
KDE4 and KDE3 can co-exist
* Sound
For sound to work, it is necessary to have dbus and hal enabled
in your system. Please see the respective documentation on how
to enable these.

-current archs). This has been broken for over 3 months.
configure incorrectly assumes that since FreeBSD has sqrtl,
that it also has other long math functions. Also, configure
seems to have 2 separate checks for the long math functions:
the first check looks for both asinl and sqrtl, the second
check looks for just sqrtl. FreeBSD does not currently have
asinl, so if configure just went by the first check it would
correctly determine that we do not have all the long math
functions. Remove the second check to fix the problem.
No response from: kde@
into separate ports. The OPTIONS will remain as of yet and trigger dependencies
now, for easy transition.
Update KOffice to version 1.3.2.
Add patches to fix a number of issues, including:
- fix kxkb on Xorg
- fix kdemultimedia WITH_MPEGLIB (now mpeglib_artsplug) compilation on gcc 3.4.2
with optimizations greater than -O
Add security related patches and entries to portaudit.txt.
Important changes:
==================
KDE:
- Audio/arts does not install artswrapper anymore, instead it is provided by
audio/artswrapper. See UPDATING.
- misc/kdeaddons3 is now a metaport with
editors/kate-plugins
editors/vimpart
games/atlantikdesigner
misc/kaddressbook-plugins
misc/kfile-plugins
misc/kicker-applets
misc/knewsticker-scripts
misc/konq-plugins
misc/ksig
misc/renamedlgplugins
multimedia/noatun-plugins
net/kontact-plugins
as slave ports.
- A number of KDE ports now uses OPTIONS do make various WITH_* options more
visible.
- Plist fixes
- devel/kdevelop should be able to detect FreeBSD's autoconf/automake now for
newly created projects.
- kdebase will no longer remove previous KDM configurations. This won't take
effect during the update from 3.2.0 to 3.2.1 (as deinstalling 3.2.0 will still
remove the configuration), but subsequent updates will merge old configs.
QT:
- Previous versions of QT could be compiled with debugging-support enabled by
defining DEBUG. This switch has been renamed to the more unambiguous
WANT_QT_DEBUG (similar to WANT_KDE_DEBUG in the KDE ports).
Important changes:
==================
- Kmail and knode have been moved from kdenetwork to kdepim. This
means you will have to install kdepim if you want to continue using
kmail or knode. This is to ease integration with korganizer, in
the new 'Kontact' application.
- The arabic translations for KDE and KOffice have been moved from
misc to the arabic category.
- There is a new module called kdeaccessibility in the accessibility
category. It contains a few utilities for disabled users like a
magnification lens and a text-to-speech frontend.
- In KDM, you need to select the 'CUSTOM' session profile in order
to have your .xsession executed. This is particularly important if
you're using the aegypten tools
(http://freebsd.kde.org/howtos/aegypten-kmail.php).
- We have started making more parts of the ports optional. In kdepim,
both Kandy and KPilot can be turned off with ports-knobs. This
process will continue in the 3.2 series.
Official KDE 3.1.3 announcement:
http://www.kde.org/announcements/announce-3.1.3.php
(may not work until a few hours after this commit - we jumped the gun a little
in order to have the update in place at the time the security notifications for
KDE 3.1.2 will be released together with the announcement of KDE 3.1.3).
Changelog from 3.1.2 to 3.1.3 release:
http://www.kde.org/announcements/changelogs/changelog3_1_2to3_1_3.php
Thanks and credits need to go to the whole KDE-FreeBSD team, as well
as everyone on kde@freebsd.org for providing feedback, reporting bugs
and just using the KDE ports.

original versions of these ports, so some PORTREVISIONs were bumped. See
http://freebsd.kde.org/ and mailing lists linked to from there for info
on the packages generated to test these ports.
bsd.kde.mk has already been updated a few days ago to work with these.
Some patches applied to fix a few bugs were:
deskutils/kdepim3:
[1] Remove kpilot from build because it wasn't ready at release.
editors/koffice-kde3:
[2] Fix compile time bugs for FreeBSD.
misc/kdeedu3:
[3] Fix compile problem with kvoctrain.
x11/kdebase3:
[4] Fix KDM CPU usage and login bug.
Some caveats:
* All PLISTs are broken for deinstall due to script bug that I
didn't notice until very recently. This will be fixed when I
commit an update tomorrow. These ports should still install
perfectly fine though. They should also deinstall without
giving errors, but will leave directories behind.
* You can't install this with any other version of QT or KDE
already installed. I am not sure the checks are 100% working,
but fixes for these will be forthcoming. This is mainly due
to a policy decision made by kde@ to make QT/KDE ports install
the way the rest of the world expects it to while also still
conforming to FreeBSD's hier(7). For reference on this decision,
please consult the KDE/FreeBSD mailing list archives. This
decision fixes 2-year-old bug reports relating to how we handled
this for KDE2 vs KDE1.

* General:
- Support for objprelink.
- Hack for autoconf 2.13/automake 1.4. Note that we can't use
the standard USE_AUTO* because they change things in work/*;
KDE has its own way of doing that.
- Light cleanup of extra dirs in the PLISTs provided by
my mkplistpkg[1] script.
- Speedups of both compile and runtime through the usage of
--disable-debug and --enable-final. The latter did not work
with the kdemultimedia package, unfortunately.
- Patch updates.
* audio/kdemultimedia2:
- Patch to fix KSCD on FreeBSD[2]. It works very well now.
* deskutils/kdepim:
- Enable kpilot[3]. Pull in the latest pilot-link stuff.
* devel/kdesdk,
* devel/kdevelop:
- No specific changes.
* devel/qt-designer:
- Make this port depend almost entirely on qt23 to make it more
maintainable, so I don't have to keep hacking the patches to
get them to apply.
* editors/koffice,
* games/kdegames,
* graphics/kdegraphics:
- No specific changes.
* misc/kdeaddons:
- SDL is required now. Cull SDL PLIST_SUB and such.
- Fix breakage from hardcoding "sdl-config".
* misc/kdeutils2:
- Fix problem with klaptopdaemon[4] where it didn't properly
display the battery time. This patch is untested, but applied.
* net/kdenetwork2:
- Fix DCC for KSIRC[5].
- Remove ktalkd from the build. It requires some weird thing
in the configure script that I don't have time to look at.
* sysutils/kdeadmin:
- No specific changes.
* textproc/kdoc:
- Remove bogus requirement that kdoc requires Perl 5.6.0; it sure
seems to operate fine with >= 5.005. But I'll let time tell.
* www/quanta:
- No specific changes (--disable-debug support only).
* x11/kde2:
- No specific changes.
* x11/kdebase2:
- Fix ksysguard compile by merging the files from the HEAD branch
of KDE CVS that were missing at release time for FreeBSD[6]. :\
* x11/kdelibs2:
- Recognize CUPS' spinoff[7].
- Add libxslt dependency since it was removed from kdelibs.
- Fix libxml compile problems[8] (accomplished by upgrading).
- Remove libkformula from port Makefile; this library has been
spun off into koffice.
- Fix mode problems with DCOP[9]. This allows you to save files
properly. It also seems to be a FreeBSD specific problem.
- Fix bashisms in kdeprint/imagetops script[10].
* x11-clocks/kdetoys2:
- No specific changes.
* x11-toolkits/qt23:
- Do NOT upgrade to QT 2.3.2[11].
- Allow devel/qt-designer to depend on this port entirely for the
patches by adding a perlre to accomplish this.
* x11-wm/kdeartwork:
- No specific changes.
