Clarification Announcement!
by Timothy Pearson 25 Jan '11

25 Jan '11

Hi all. This is a post to clear up any issues that people might be confused with. We've all agreed to this, so this is now here for reference. So, let me start of by saying: TRINITY IS NOT KDE3 (anymore). KDE3 IS DEAD. And let me go a bit further with that. We are currently in an alpha stage of porting Trinity to cmake. There is currently the following in usable or finished states: - tqtinterface - arts - kdelibs - kdebase - kdedevelop The 3.5.12 tarballs DO NOT have them. I repeat, DO NOT have cmake scripts. You will need to download them from http://thel.ro/ and insert them into the build directory. We are also in a pre-alpha stage of porting Trinity to Qt4. Before I go any further, let me say: WE ARE NOT PORTING APPLICATIONS ONE BY ONE TO QT4 (as may have been interpreted before). What we are doing is porting the apps to TQt (a relatively easy thing to do), and then letting TQt handle the Qt version specifics. TQt for Qt4 has been progressing along for some time, although it is COMPLETELY FAR from stable. If you'd like to see a screenshot from 3.5.13, Tim provides one here: http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=1586qmp&s=7 I assure you, we are not making another KDE4. We'll leave that junk to the KDE4 developers. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Robert Xu On behalf of The Trinity Development Team

Trinity Desktop Environment version 3.5.12 Release Announcement
by Timothy Pearson 04 Oct '10

04 Oct '10

Trinity Desktop Environment version 3.5.12 has been released! This version provides significant enhancements to areas such as Personal Information Management (PIM), GTK application support, and general usability. You will find a detailed list of upgrades and improvements to the Trinity system here: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/wiki/bin/view/Documentation/Releases_3_… Installation instructions for Debian, Ubuntu, and Slackware are available on the Trinity project home page: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/ If you would like to compile Trinity from source instead of using the prebuilt binaries, instructions are available here: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/wiki/bin/view/Developers/HowToBuild And the source itself can be downloaded from the main project Website at: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/ Simply click on the 3.5.12 link on the lower left hand side of the screen. Why upgrade from KDE3.5.10, the latest release available from KDE e.V.? Simply put, Trinity is faster, more secure, and far more feature rich than 3.5.10 ever was! It incorporates the latest patches from multiple KDE enhancement projects, such as OpenSUSE, Chakra, and Ubuntu. If you do find a bug, please don't hesitate to report it to the project bugtracker at http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/ If you would like to connect with other Trinity users and/or developers, or simply want to be informed of the latest updates to the Trinity system, the official project mailing lists are available here: http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/mailing_lists/ This release was the result of collaboration between several open source developers; their names are listed at http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net/contributors/ The Trinity project would like to thank them for their support!

Trinity pre-release freeze
by Timothy Pearson 22 Sep '10

22 Sep '10

As of September 21, 2010 a pre-release freeze is being declared for Trinity version 3.5.12. This means that patches will only be accepted into SVN for the following reasons: 1. To repair a crash 2. To repair broken functionality, if the patch is very small and impact to other code is minimal. 3. To disable broken features, if the patch required to repair the broken feature does not fit into category 2 above. This freeze means that the following patches, among others, will NOT be accepted during the freeze period: 1. Changes to log messages, including warning and informational messages. 2. User-visible interface changes of any kind. As with the feature freeze, this freeze will end on October 1, 2010 with the release of 3.5.12. I encourage everyone to update to the latest SVN release and start testing to ensure that the software is stable and all features work as intended. Thanks to the Trinity developers for all your hard work! Timothy Pearson Trinity Desktop Project

This is a friendly reminder that a feature freeze for Trinity 3.5.12 is now in effect. All developers should update their SVN to the latest revision, rebuild, and start testing to find any major bugs prior to release. Also, searchable Qt3 and Qt4 documentation is up on the Trinity website at http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net Click on the "Documentation" link on the left hand side to reach the new documentation page. Work is also ongoing to rebuild an API documentation page for Trinity itself through Doxygen. Please remember to report any major bugs found to the trinity-devel list!

Trinity project announcement
by Timothy Pearson 12 Dec '09

12 Dec '09

It is with great pride that I introduce the long-awaited fork of KDE3.5, codename Trinity. The main project Web site is available at http://trinity.pearsoncomputing.net, and uploads of all the Kubuntu KDE3.5 features and bugfixes to official SVN are in progress as I write this. There are three new mailing lists that I encourage people to join. They are: * trinity-announce(a)pearsoncomputing.net (a low traffic list for Trinity announcements) * trinity-users (high traffic list where users can discuss the use of Trinity on any distro) * trinity-devel (medium traffic list for Trinity developers) Bugs in Trinity will be handled through the existing bugtracker at http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net This project will keep the KDE3.5 experience alive for the foreseeable future, while polishing off remaining rough edges and adding new features. Developers are wanted. As with the original KDE, you don't have to write code to be of help--artists, documentation/Wiki help, and UI design/review people are needed as well. If you are interested in supporting the Trinity project, please contact me at kb9vqf(a)pearsoncomputing.net or write to the trinity-devel list. Let's keep the efficient KDE3.5 interface alive!
