Akademy 08: Kate Flashback

This Akademy's Kate changes include
  • fix: drag & drop of text
  • code completion: only show group header if the group name is not empty
  • reintroduction of buffer blocks in Kate's document buffer (one buffer contains up to 4096 lines). The blocks build a linked list. Editing a 500 MB file kind of works now again. It's still rather slow, though.
  • more speedup in Kate's document buffer
  • Kate is using KEncodingProber instead of KEncodingDetector now
  • generate internal version of KatePart automatically, so developers don't have to adapt it manually each release
  • python encoding detection plugin that warns if encoding is not correct while saving
  • new plugin: Backtrace browser, mainly for developers
  • find in files: several speed optimizations
  • find in files: progress indicator while search is active
  • find in files: redesign of workflow. Search happens with non-modal dialog and results are shown in toolviews.
  • lots of vi mode changes
  • lots of bugs closed, mainly old ones
  • some real bug fixes...
  • things I forgot
