“I am very happy to announce the new stable version 0.40 of the
KDE office software Kraft. After eleven month of porting work,
Kraft 0.40 is the first version which is based on the KDE 4
software platform. Huge changes on the codebase of Kraft happened
to benefit from the new technology of KDE 4 and after long long
hours of work, we’re there 🙂 Basically the new version equals the
last KDE 3 version feature wise beside some changes which aim to
make Kraft even more convenient to explore for unexperienced users.
We got much feedback that the setup with MySQL was to complicated
for people who just want to do a quick test. So we had to do
something about that. The alternative was the clever
run-mysql-as-the-user method just like Akonadi does it, but still
the dependency on MySQL remains with that solution. So I went for
SQLite, because its seemed so easy. Well, SQLite did not convince
me completely yet, but it is working for Kraft.
