Trinity evolved from the last KDE 3.5 release, 3.5.10. Subsequent +Trinity releases followed that numbering scheme. Release R14.0.0 marks a turning point in Trinity history +because a great deal of the code infrastructure was changed. While those changes do not effect the usability or +look-and-feel of the desktop that users enjoy, Trinity developers believe a change in the version scheme +distinguishes when those changes occurred. An original project goal by users was to retain the flavor of the +original KDE 3.5 desktop. That goal remains intact. To reflect that original goal, the last number in the +original version scheme is retained in the new version scheme but is now the primary version number. While the +infrastructure has changed, the desktop itself remains the same as the original KDE 3.5. This new version scheme +indicates a modest divergence from the original KDE 3.5 series and that Trinity is now its own desktop +environment. The new version scheme reminds users that Trinity retains the original KDE 3.5 design, but is +moving forward as a separate desktop project. + +Notable changes include renaming and rebranding efforts to avoid conflicts with KDE4. Both Trinity and +KDE4 have roots in KDE3. These changes focus on promoting a peaceful coexistence between the two desktop +environments when both are installed concurrently on the same system as well as avoid possible trademark +issues. + +Renaming and rebranding efforts include: + + + + +Libraries + + + +Classes + + + +Environment variables and config file locations + + + +Package names + + + +Application names + + + + +An exhaustive list of renaming changes is available at the end of this document. + + +Usability Changes + +Because of the wide-scale renaming efforts, existing KDE3 and 3.5.13.x user profile directories will not +function properly under R14.0.0. Don't worry. + +When logging into Trinity R14.0.0, the starttde script (nee startkde), performs profile checks to ensure +settings and configurations are migrated correctly. These checks include preserving the original KDE3/3.5.13.x +profile directory as-is while using those files as the basis to create the new R14.0.0 profile named +$HOME/.trinity. + +The underlying migration checking has been tested, but because of the renaming and rebranding efforts, +upstream packagers should test support scripts for problems and anomalies. + +There is another special script to help update profile directories. That script is +/opt/trinity/bin/migratekde3. This script is intended for people using versions of Trinity prior to 3.5.13. +Before starting R14.0.0 the first time, use this script to update any KDE3 profile directory. The definition of +a KDE3 profile directory includes Trinity 3.5.11 and 3.5.12. The script will look for profile directory names +of ~/.kde3, ~/.kdemod3, and ~/.kde. Because the latter directory name is also used in KDE4, several tests are +performed to ensure the directory is a KDE3 profile and not KDE4. + +The renaming might cause certain shortcuts and menu links to stop functioning. The underlying migration +checks performed when logging into R14.0.0 for the first time should find all of these differences, but fixing +those that are missed is straightforward. All that is needed is knowing the new name of the command or +application. For example, changing kdesu to tdesu, although that specific change is covered by the +scripts. + +The Trinity launcher menu, tdemenu (nee kmenu), has been reorganized to reduce clutter. In addition to +built-in XDG changes in *.desktop files, There are two methods available to manage KDE4 apps in the Trinity +menu. One method includes a build-time configuration option in tdelibs, WITH_KDE4_MENU_SUFFIX, that adds a +"[KDE4]" tag to KDE4 menu items. This tag helps identify apps of the same name. The default is OFF and requires +a package rebuild to change. A second method includes a global menu replacement, tde-applications.menu-no-kde +that explicitly excludes KDE4 apps from the menu. Using that special menu requires administrative privileges to +update. + +Because of a common heritage shared with KDE, Trinity still shares many app and library names with KDE. +Therefore to avoid conflicts, the normal practice is to install Trinity to /opt/trinity. Because of this +atypical installation location, on many systems non-Trinity desktops and window managers initially will not +find any Trinity apps. For systems using /etc/profile.d, ensure the packager includes appropriate scripts to +populate all necessary environment variables. For other systems, at least the XDG_CONFIG_DIRS and XDG_DATA_DIRS +environment variables must be modified to recognize the /opt/trinity directory. Typical modifications look like +this: + + + + +XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/trinity/xdg:/etc/xdg:/etc/kde/xdg + + +XDG_DATA_DIRS=/opt/trinity/share:/usr/share + + + + +Users who do not install any tde-i18n package will encounter broken symlinks if they browse the +non-English documention folders of some applications. Such symlinks are hooks to the correct location +of localized common resources and will work properly once the related tde-i18n package is installed. +Please refrain from filing bugs related to those broken symlinks. + +Some old wallpapers have been removed from the list displayed in Trinity Control Center --> +Appearance & Themes --> Background and a few new ones have been added. The removed wallpapers +are still available and if desired they can be manually selected. They are located in the +/opt/trinity/share/wallpapers/obsolete folder. + +As part of the rebranding effort, TDE now has its own theme style and system-wide changes have +been made to conform to such style as much as possible. + + + + +Major Improvements from 3.5.13 + + + +New HAL-independent hardware support based on udev. HAL support is still available for those systems (such as *bsd) that require it. + + +Significant renaming of applications, libraries and packages to avoid conflicts with other desktop environments (most notably KDE) allowing TDE to be installed in parallel with other DE. + + +Switched from 'plain' Qt3 to the 'new' TQt3 interface, an enhanced version of Qt3 with a particular eye on improved stability and multi-threading support. + + +A new TQt interface layer between TDE libraries/applications and TQt3. This allows selective adaptation of some Qt4 programming widgets. + + +Support for network-manager 0.9 and newer. + + +Switched compositor from Kompmgr to Compton. + + +Added support for ARM architectures and RaspBian. + + +MIME detection system now based on libmagic. + + +New website design. + + + + + + +New or Improved Features + + + + +Migrated the TDE source repository to GIT. + + +Significant branding overhaul and restyling. + + +Further improved XDG compliance. + + +Additional theme engines available. + + +Continued migration from autotools to cmake. + + +TDE-style dialog box support for LibreOffice. + + +Improved Secure Attention Key. + + +Mac-like window switching. + + +Kate sort plugin now available. + + +Rearrangeable items in the taskbar. + + +Show Icons Only option for taskbar. + + +Improved application crash report framework, now also including source code commit references for better debugging. + + +A mouse double-click speed test option in the control panel. + + +A smooth crossfade effect is now available when changing the desktop wallpaper. + + +Improved project documentation and localization. + + +Faster startup and logout. + + +Improved Konqueror speed for listing files in folder. + + +Ability to force Kate into MDI mode all the time. + + +File copy window focus enhancement: focus is now on the file name edit line by default. + + +GUI support for controlling whether to display archives as folders. + + +Improved Logout Status Dialog. + + +Improved support for global and individual panels. + + +New Desktop Device Icons: My Computer, My Documents, My Network Places, Printers, Web Browser. + + +Rearrangeable (draggable) items in the taskbar. + + +Reduced TDE menu clutter and duplication. + + +Accelerator key for Konsole main menu can be enabled when desired. + + +Konqueror file rename improvement: in list view mode it is now possible to move directly to the next/previous file without leaving the rename mode. Default key shortcuts are Tab (next) and Shift+Tab (previous). + + +Kate taskbar: middle mouse click close selected document, if enabled. + + +The number of files in the Kate MRU (Most Recently Used) list is user-configurable. + + +Added a progress bar to the logout status dialog. + + +Kate syntax highlighting files have been updated and the lookup moved to the TDE repository + + +tdecmshell
