Version 0.9.6 of Smb4K, the KDE client for Samba, which accesses Windows shares from Unix, has been released. Changes:

• Fixed crash when the search item was empty: Pressing RETURN instead of activating the search action will not start a search and Smb4KScanner::search() now just returns when the search string is empty.

From KDE Apps:

Version 2.9.3 of Yakuake, a drop-down terminal for KDE (based on Konsole) similar to the one in the Quake games, has been released. Changes:

• Added an option to focus individual sub-terminals as the mouse pointer is moved over them.
• Added an option to explicitly control whether the window will be shown on all (virtual) desktops. Defaults to true, as before.
• Made the error condition when Yakuake is unable to load the Konsole KPart component non-destructive, i.e. being unable to load the KPart will no longer end in an unavoidable application quit. Instead, a good-looking warning will be shown where the terminal would normally be. This also takes care of the edge case in which Konsole is uninstalled while Yakuake is already running, so that existing terminals won't be lost.
• Fixed a regression that caused the "Show title bar contents in tab labels" preference to no longer work.
• Fixed tab label not immediately being updated upon creating a new session when "Show title bar contents in tab labels" is enabled.

For screenshots and downloads (source only), see the KDE Apps page. Requires KDE 4.

Version 1.10.2 of Recoll, a KDE front-end for the Xapian text searching engine, has been released. Changes:

• Created mailing-list to improve support. Check home page.
• Fixed openSuse 11 compile issues.
• Fixed bug in interpreting email mime structure, which resulted in base-64 decoding errors.
• Fixed "Prev" button in preview window. Would actually go forward when walking the search terms.
• Allow setting the highlight color for search terms in result list and preview
• Added svg filter
• Ensure that in case the data of a file can't be indexed because of some error, at least the file name is indexed.
• Improve query language to support OR queries of terms with field specifications (ie: title:someterm OR author:someauthor).
• Fix filename search to split patterns on white space, so that a "*.jpg *.jpeg" search does what's expected. Means you now need to use double-quotes if there is actual embedded white space.
• Jump directly to the external editor choice dialog instead of opening preferences when an external viewer is not found.
• Allow stopping indexing through menu action (only works with qt4 for now).
• Create an "indexedmimetypes" connfiguration variable to allow explicitely restricting the file types which do get indexed.

Screenshots here, downloads (source, packages for Fedora, Mandriva, Debian, Ubuntu and Solaris) here. Requires Qt 3.3 or 4 and a recent version of Xapian.

Version 0.9.4 of Smb4K, the Windows/Samba share browser for KDE, has been released. Changes:

• Smb4KGlobal::timer() is now deprecated.

• Smb4K will try to launch the wallet manager before it opens the wallet. This should prevent it from hanging on start-up.
• If the digital wallet could not be opened, KWallet support won't be disabled completely but only for the current session.
• Fixed blocking of tooltips in the network browser.
• Fixed invalid check in the network browser's tool tip code.

Version 0.42 of KlamAV, the KDE front-end for the ClamAV Linux anti-virus software, has been released. Changes:

• Disable and remove auto-scanning of files when they are modified. The approach is not maintainable.
• Patch from "Nadav Kavalerchik" to handle hebrew filenames properly.
• Fix to prevent command injection from Dirk Mueller.
• Fix a couple of compiler warnings (Dirk Mueller dmueller at suse.de)
• Disable quarantining of files that exceed the limit by default. this one is debateable, but it seems more people like to not have it by default, as they think their personal archive is a virus, while it just compressed really well. I think this also matches the clamav default, but I might be wrong (Dirk Mueller dmueller at suse.de)
• Fix the ui for archivelimits to show "default" when its 0, so that the user isn`t confusing it with "no limit". ( Dirk Mueller dmueller at suse.de)
• Restrict khtml`s parsing and not allow javascript by default in the update dialog. also, deleting the filelist is too much because it is already deleted via qojbect (Dirk Mueller dmueller at suse.de)
• Fix https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=171414
• Patch to scheduled scan script from "Vincent J. Schiavoni"

• Support for right-to-left layouts in the configuration dialog has been improved.
• A bug where the "Rename Session..." action would operate on the wrong session has been fixed.
