TDE 14.1.4 + OpenSCADA 0.9.8 + World Calendar System + True Thumbnails

During of months of the OpenSCADA 0.9.8 releasing performed significant extension the Automation Linux Distributive with several conceptual ones.

The actual (Debian) TDE-repository was mirrored completely in used parts by the project with resigning all those packages by the OpenSCADA key, and that was performed in folders TDE14.1 for versions >= 9 and TDE14.0 for < 9. That is together with patched packages, which were moved to TDE14.0 for old Debian versions.

Formalization the partial TDE forking under the subproject — the Automation Linux distributive of the project OpenSCADA.

List of the significant changes:

• updating TDE to 14.1.3 and next to 14.1.4 with building patched packages also for Debian 8,10 ARMHF;

• restoring of starting nm-applet in the system tray and removing the "raspi-firmware" package from Debian 12 installations;

• TDE > tdelibs-trinity: Complete disabling of processing for the unclassified devices, due to it is very CPU intensive especially on slow HW;

• TDE > tdebase-trinity > KXKB-KLayouts: Restoring of loading default XKb parameters, that is key combination of switching the keyboard layout;

• TDE > Digikam: Restoring of building by AutoTools in 14.1.4;

• ghostscript: Preventing of cleaning the transparent background setting in pdfi_create_DeviceRGB() by pdfi_setrgbfill(ctx) before, for true transparent backgrounds;

• TDE > tdegraphics-trinity > KSVG: Preventing of cycling the SVG-thumbnailer at NAN variable "th_arc" of some arcs;

• TDE > tdegraphics-trinity > KPDF: Updating the local copy of Poppler in KPDF for restoring loaded originally fill and stroke color, for true transparent backgrounds;

• TDE > tqt3-trinity: Preventing QTextEdit crash at paste RTE with paragraphs to the begin, by updating the variable "lastFormatted";

• TDE > tdepowersave-trinity: Preventing of locking-sticking the sign "blacklisted_running" after running one blacklisted program;

• TDE > basket-trinity: Fixing of no replacing selected blocks into note at pasting RTE, just appending before the block;

• TDE > tdepim-trinity > KOrganizer: Preventing of appearing two dialogues of item editing and new item at double clicking on cell with items in the month view;

• TDE > krusader-trinity: Fixing of refreshing source panel at moving operations;

• TDE > tdebase-trinity > Konqueror: Preventing of items sometime doubling in the tab item "System (system:/)" through doubly call setOpen(true);

• TDE > tdebase-trinity > QuickLauncher: Completing of fixing of appearance in QuickLauncher of empty-zero items after removing some item, what related with inserting already missing desktop-file (after uninstalling the application) from the popularity;

• TDE > krusader-trinity: Preventing of force locking mounted media-folders after changing local directory to remote-virtual one, in a way of changing the local folder to Home. Also preventing the memory leakage on call the function getcwd(0, 0) without freeing its result;

• TDE > krusader-trinity: Preventing of cleaning the panel with item list of a SMB share after item renaming through receiving second or third result() event from IO-Slave, that is the panel refresh is lagged now at 0.5 seconds after renaming;

• TDE > tdebase-trinity > KDesktop: Preventing of complete freezing KDesktop on waiting the Saver Engine during about one minute after wake up, by not use sigsuspend() for waiting "mSaverProcessReady" where enough to call tqApp->processEvents();

• TDE > tdelibs-trinity > DCOP: Switching internal interval timers on the modern "timespec" structure and the Monotonic clock in the base, that is made DCOP insensitivity to jumps of the real time, especially at waking up;

• TDE > tqt3-trinity: Complete switching Qt3 interval timers (QTimer) on the modern "timespec" structure and the Monotonic clock in the base, that is made Qt3 insensitivity to jumps of the real time, especially at waking up;

• TDE > kaffeine-trinity: Appending support the WEBM media format;

• TDE > tdelibs-trinity > MIME: Appending support the WEBM media format;

• xine-lib: Switching "display_queue.mutex" in Video out to the recursive mode for preventing hangs in xine_new_framegrab_video_port();

• TDE > tdemultimedia-trinity > XineThumbnails: Audio Disabled by xine_new_framegrab_audio_port() and HUE corrected. In addition to preventing dead locks in Xine;

• TDE > tdelibs-trinity > TDE IO: Setting the slave connection timeout of SLAVE_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT_MIN from 2 to 10 and SLAVE_CONNECTION_TIMEOUT_MAX from 10 to 30 for preventing errors of the FILE-slave missing on generally slow hardware and HDD/SSD with slow sectors;

• TDE > tdeadmin-trinity > KPackage: Adding the menu "APT Specials" by items: "Clean (apt-get clean)", "Autoremove (apt-get autoremove)";

• TDE > tqt3-trinity: Preventing hangs on rendering wrong char shapes in TQTextEngine, it was noticed in KCharSelect on page 15;

• TDE > tdelibs-trinity: Fixing of substitution correct year in the kdatepicker corresponding to the selected Calendar System;

• TDE > kdiff3-trinity: Switching URLs in the plugin's menu to the pretty view instead encoding UTF-8 chars of native locales;

• TDE > tqt3-trinity: Softening an effect of high-whole CPU loading at flooding Pending events from the GLib interface to the X11 server, what is brightly appeared on digikam-showfoto, or qtwaittimer, what detected on kdesktop-screensaver at wake up, by appending short waiting on 1ms after processing the events;

• TDE > amarok-trinity: Preventing of flooding with high CPU loading especially on old-slow systems during execution in the system tray and before opening the PlayList window, due to the analysers are wrongly started in the background at changing the animation period;

• TDE > tdebase-trinity > MediaManager: Appending of switching the /etc/fstab using whether by a util of mounting like to udisks or the generic mount program. And that is suitable both for FD and CD/DVD/BLURAY due to udisks[2] doesn't mount them without an entry in /etc/fstab;
