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")
