KDE Games/API cleanup

From KDE Community Wiki

libkdegames v5 is the new iteration of libkdegames which is intended to ship with KDE Development Platform 5 (though it may also happen earlier, e.g. 4.9). The aim for this new iteration of the library is to remove most of the API that is obsolete, unused or in a state of bad quality, in order to improve maintainability and relevance of the remaining API. Also, QtWidgets-specific parts need to be separated to prepare for QML-based games.

The fine print: The SO version for libkdegames v5 is actually 6.

Description Code and headers are removed from the source tree. Code is moved into the tree of the only application which uses it. Headers are not exported anymore. Code stays in libkdegames. API and implementation changes may still be necessary. To be discussed on kde-games-devel mailinglist.
