R14.0.9 is the ninth maintenance release of the R14.0 series, and is built on and improves the previous R14.0.8 version. Maintenance releases are intended to promptly bring bug fixes to users, while preserving overall stability through the avoidance of both major new features and major codebase re-factoring. This section highlights some of the most important changes introduced by this release. New applications Codeine - a video player with a simple, uncluttered interface. KEximDB plugin for converting MS Access MDB databases. KoolDock - a cool application launcher. KXMLEditor - an editor for XML files. Mathemagics - a RPN scientific calculator.

TDE style Domino - a smooth style with a soft look. TDE style Ia Ora - Mandriva Ia Ora theme for TDE. TDEpacman - a pacman game clone. Transcode added to dependency repository for Debian-like distros. Xcalib added to dependency repository for Debian-like distros. Bug fixes Fixed problem with assignment of keyboard shortcuts in recent distros. Various fixes to KMix, this will partially help when PulseAudio is installed. Autostart TCC module no longer crashes when non-service entries are used. Fixed Konqueror's kdiff3 preview plugin functionality. Various fixes related to compiling and linking. Enhancements Many translation updates (thanks to all translators). Several packages have been migrated to CMake build system. Dropped automake build system for various packages. Continued overall look polishing. TDE's QtCurve style updated to upstream version 1.8.5. Added brightness control in kmilo generic monitor. Improved support for bluray discs. Added support for xine 1.2.10. Changed CDDB database from freedb.org (no longer working) to gnudb.org. Security The full list of changes is available at these links: TGW issue list. Bugzilla bug list. Detailed commit change log. When upgrading from previous releases you may run into some of the following use cases. Follow the recommended instructions to minimize potential problems. Initial support for PulseAudio is planned for the R14.1.0 release. For the time being you can try one of the following workarounds in case you have troubles with PA (especially muting/unmuting). You can mute/unmute from the KMix slider LED, this should work fine with PA. You can open KMix mixer window -> Settings -> Configure global shortcuts and remap the "toggle mute" keyboard shortcut to some other key combination. Do not use "XF86AudioMute" key, since this is normally used by KMilo and therefore may not work. You can create a script that calls "dcop kmix Mixer-1 toggleMasterMute", this will mute/unmute the PA master channel. You can add an input action tied to a keyboard shortcut to call this easy. KNotes had four global keyboard shortcuts that were bounded to Alt + Shift + C/N/S/H. These shortcuts were overlapping with other key combinations used in some common programs, for example Midnight Commander. In R14.0.9 those KNotes global keyboard shortcuts have been left unassigned by default. If you wish to keep using the previous setup, you need to right click on KNotes system tray icon, select "Configure shortcuts" and then assign the following key combinations. New Note --> Alt + Shift + N New Note From Clipboard --> Alt + Shift + C Hide All Notes --> Alt + Shift + H Show All Notes --> Alt + Shift + S
