KDE3 version is planed before christmast.

KDE4 version is planed for KDE4.1.

Gilles

Looks fine to me.
Essentially it means that there will be another 9 months
before people will start to use 0.10; some
might be unhappy because they would love to use
the new features before (OTOH, this might give a couple of
additional testers ... ;-).
However, I think this is perfectly fine. The transition
of the KDE project from 3 to 4 is a big one and needs thorough
testing. Also the transition from digikam 0.9 to 0.10 is
a big step with many changes, in particular the database,
so this needs to be rock-solid
(not that I have any doubts that it will be, but testing
and fixing bugs just takes time).

Best, Arnd

P.S.: BTW, after going through a couple of hundreds images
yesterday:I don't know what I would do without the light-table,
this just rocks and makes it so much easier to choose
the best out dozens of similar shots ...

well, for Beta3 it's fine. Gerhard ?

Also, what about to release the documentation package ?

Should all crashes be fixed (if possible ;-) before beta3, i.e. 18 Nov?
Today I had a look at some where feedback from the user is required.
but there are a several others, where you experts should have a look.

In addition, there are these bugs, which seem to be regressions
over the previous version:

- Bug 151122: Opening Albums Has Become Very Slow
  http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=151122

- Sharpen tool: no 100% is possible with the new zoom-tool
  http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=148072
  (related to http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147542)

Should maybe those bugs, which should be fixed for 0.9.3,
or where patches exists, be marked as HI priority,
so that they are more easily found?

Best, Arnd

Marcel, sound like a DB problem over the network or something like that ?

  (related to http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=147542)

For this one, it's not a regression, but i'm agree, i will take a look.

Hum, it sound like a thumb cache problem. Marcel ?

Perhaps we must set cache size as a parameters...

The user reports that kio_digikamalbums is taking all the CPU, or digikamtags
etc. If this was a problem with regenerating thumbnails, it would be the
digikamthumbnail ioslave. If it was scanning, it would not be in digikamtags
(only albums is doing the scanning, in 0.9). It must be listing. But I have
no idea what could be reading full images there.

Marcel, is there any way to debug this (e.g. is strace
the way to go?)
I only fear that on our machines the problem might not
be reproducable (at least I don't see any symptoms ...)

BTW: shouldn't we better attach this discussion to the BKO entry?
(If yes, I would make a brief summary and we continue there?)

Best, Arnd

I have added also the possible 0.9.4 release paln to the page (now published).

Let's me hear if all fine fine, especially about more distro releases date (Kubuntu, Debian, Mandriva, Suse, etc...)
