Quick KDE-Telepathy update - we bumped some dependencies versions

Hey all,

just a quick update about KDE-Telepathy - we've bumped the needed versions of some libraries that you need to compile & run the KDE-Telepathy suite.

The most important one is Telepathy-Qt4 - you need at least version 0.7.3. We also strongly suggest to use Telepathy-Gabble version 0.13.7 as there were some hard crashes in the previous versions, which results in silent infinite connecting-connected-disconnected loop of Jabber accounts. This is not really needed, but should you experience this behaviour, please update your Gabble package before posting bugs.

Some of our components, like telepathy-send-file, now requires kdelibs 4.7.0. In the next KDE-Telepathy release, 0.3, kdelibs 4.7 will be mandatory (sorry Debian testing users).

By this we'd like to encourage all packagers to package at least Telepathy-Qt4 and Telepathy-Gabble (Telepathy-Haze won't hurt too) from the latest released versions.

Thanks.

I'd like to answer to all of these questions in a series of blogposts about what's so great on the software produced by the KDE (for those out of loop - 'KDE' designates the community while the software produced by this community is called 'KDE Workspaces and Applications (and Development Frameworks)', also known as 'KDE Software Compilation').

The Great Features of KDE Workspaces and Applications Part I - Dolphin For the first part of this blogseries I picked Dolphin. A basic application, that lets you do file management. Dolphin is very powerful application, so let's have a look at what all you can do with it. The panels Dolphin has four main areas. The panel on the left is your bookmarks/favorite/quickaccess places. Adding your own places is as easy as it can get - simply drag a folder and drop it there. Another way is to create it manually via panel's context menu, where you can even set your own label and icon, that's the 'My narcistic pictures' item...
