Huge Merge; Data Loss Fixes??

2006-11-20

Thanks to the persistence of Sune Vuorela, the intrepid kpilot developers (okay,
well Jason with spurts of help from Adriaan) spent the majority of the weekend
backporting the kpilot code base from the codeyard.net repository into KDE's SVN
repository. The hope is that this will address the data loss problems that
debian and ubuntu users have been reporting with kpilot (from kde's 3.5.5
release) and pilot-link 0.12. We now require pilot-link 0.12.1 or greater for
kpilot, thanks to some major bug fixes in 0.12.1. Jason backported the code into
the temporary kdepim-3.5.5+ branch (/branches/work/kdepim-3.5.5+), and this
branch will be merged back into the main kdepim 3.5 branch in preparation for
the upcoming kde 3.5.6 release. 

Думаю можно закрыть, так как в сизифе KDE версии 3.5.6, в котором, kpilot
(#define KPILOT_VERSION      "4.9.0 (deepsix)) обновлен, и не содержит этой ошибки.

новый kpilot уже вошел в kde-3.5.6
