From KDE Dot News:

The Google Summer of Code 2008 has ended, and produced a number of results which have been included in an alpha release scheduled for this week. The developments include:

• A calligraphy brush in Karbon
• Kexi web forms, allowing databases defined in Kexi to be accessed through HTTP
• Improvements to KWord's OpenDocument support, including page styles, content tables, and headers and footers
• Porting of .doc filter to produce OpenDocument files rather than KWord-format files
• KPresenter can now edit notes with slides, and has a presentation view
• A new brush engine for Krita for simulating Chinese brush painting (but "which actually is more or less the basis for any bristly brush engine")

From KDE Dot News:

A set of new logos has been designed for KOffice, the office and graphical application set for KDE, which was sponsored by the Dutch NLnet foundation which "aims to financially support organisations and people that contribute to an open information society", and designed by Michiel van Kleef of 30 Media. The KOffice logo itself is a K in a circle, while the individual component logos are variants on that theme. NLnet also sponsored Girish Ramakrishnan to improve KWord 2's ODF support.
