Removed applications, code repositories or features

Deprecated applications

These are not built anymore by default and will be removed in R14.2.0.

  1. tdegraphics: kmrml (commit ff75de8d)
  2. tdepim: kitchensync (commit 43f0ce5)
  3. tqtinterface: this module is not deprecated but it will be merged with tqt3 in R14.2.0 and no longer required (TDE/tqtinterface)

Distro support

Updating from R14.0.x

There will be no more releases in the R14.0.x series, therefore you should consider switching to R14.1.x during the next TDE update.
This will require updating the URL from which packages are downloaded and should be a relatively straight forward process.
