Hello release team,
the colour management front end KolorManager contains a component called KolorServer from last years GSoC. That project aimes at bringing ICC colour correction to KWin and thus to the whole KDE desktop. KolorServer is the Oyranos dependent part, which was developed in parallel to KWin-4.10 internal changes.
We have a ICC colour server already in openSUSE called CompICC, which works very well with old style Compiz. But requests und suggestions where made since quite some time to bring that feature to a mainstream window manager, and that was by chance KWin.
An other cool change is the new Taxi DB support, which connects KolorManager to icc.opensuse.org. With some luck a fitting monitor profile is offered for installation to the local system.
After quite some testing and bugfixes, KolorManager 1.0.1 was released around two weeks ago. At that time I became ill and had to suspend my work on the stack. Today I tested a oS-12.3 KDE image, added KolorManager and KolorServer from multimeda:color_management. Both work fine inside KDE/KWin.
Now I like to request copying the following packages from Factory to 12.3 for the next release: libXcm-0.5.2 oyranos-0.9.4 xcm-0.5.2 icc_examin-0.54 kolor-manager-1.0.1
Did this happen? Just wondering, if so, we can talk about it in the release announcement :D
Hope you will find the packages useful.
kind regards Kai-Uwe Behrmann
