In the past two months since the previous report KDE Itinerary got new vector-based map views and manual control over reservation cancellations, and there has been more work on reverse engineering proprietary train tickets, among many other things.
New Features
Vector maps
The map views can now use a MapLibre-based vector map instead of the previous raster image map. This gives us smoother and continuous zoom, and should also allow localized labels eventually, something particularly important in regions you can’t even read the local script.

This is enabled in our nightly APK and Flatpak builds, other distribution channels might not have this enabled yet.
Reservation cancellation
It’s now possible to manually mark reservations as canceled, rather than just importing that information from documents. This is useful for keeping unused reservations around but not have them considered for transfers, in the maps or for statistics, e.g. because you still need them for refund claims or travel cost reimbursement.

Canceled reservations are now also clearly marked as such in the timeline view again, something that had gotten lost in the last timeline restyling.
Infrastructure Work
Ticket barcode reverse engineering
Ticket barcodes can contain machine-readable information about the trip and can therefore be very useful for importing tickets into Itinerary. While ticket barcodes on international trips commonly use openly standardized formats for interoperability between different providers, this is unfortunately often not the case for domestic tickets. For those we have to resort to reverse engineering.
Fortunately though, there’s more people interested in what’s in those barcodes, e.g. from a privacy or security perspective, and there’s increasing collaboration.
Specifically, the understanding of the Hungarian domestic ticket format has significantly increased recently, as the result of three different parties exchanging their observations and evaluating their respective findings against each other’s ticket sample pools. A few few magic numbers for product/tariff/discount codes are yet to be figured out, but there’s now a pretty complete Kaitai spec able to decode versions 2 to 6 of the current format, e.g. using the Kaitai Web IDE.
Many of the discoveries made there have a resulted in improvements and fixes for MÁV and Volánbusz tickets in Itinerary.
Documentation on ticket barcodes formats is also slowly being consolidated in the Train Ticket Wiki, where available also in appropriate machine-readable formats (Kaitai, Protobuf, ASN.1, etc).
Reverse geocoding for location codes
The work on automatic geocoding for train and bus reservations covered in the last report has been further expanded:
- Hotel and restaurant reservations are now also automatically geocoded. This makes automatic transfers work in more cases.
- Reverse geocoding on imported tickets only containing train station or airport codes is now also supported. This for example results in proper station names when scanning a train ticket barcode that only contains station codes.
Events
There’s two recent events that covered upcoming changes to Transitous, the public transport routing service used by Itinerary:
- 39C3 end of 2025.
- The Transitous Hack Weekend a few weeks ago.
And more opportunities to meet the Itinerary and Transitous teams are coming up:
- FOSDEM on Jan 31-Feb 1 in Brussels, in particular with the Railways and Open Transport track.
- The next bi-annual OSM Hack Weekend in Karlsruhe on Feb 21-22.
- FOSSGIS-Konferenz on Mar 25-28 in Göttingen. I’ll talk about our OSM indoor router there.
- The KDE Mega Sprint on Apr 6-11 in Graz right before Grazer Linux Tage will probably also include some Itinerary hacking.
Fixes & Improvements
Travel document extractor
- Added or improved travel document extractors for Booking.com, České dráhy, Cytric, Deutsche Bahn, gomus, KLM, MÁV and Volánbusz.
- Fixed a crash on referenced but non-existent PDF image masks (bug 513945).
- Handle RSP6 decoding failures properly, fixing a few fields containing “null” in that case.
- Added support for resolving Hungarian railway station codes.
- Added support for local SNCF pass barcodes in some regions of France.
All of this has been made possible thanks to your travel document donations!
Public transport data
- Added (partial) coverage in Japan and Thailand thanks to Transitous.
- Fixed access parameters to the VVS API for the Stuttgart area in Germany.
All of this also directly benefits KTrip.
Itinerary app
- Mark cancelled intermediate stops on the journey section map.
- Don’t allow to open an empty place context menu.
- Show yearly sections for past trip groups in the trip group list.
- Fix showing entrance date picker for events without valid start date.
- Fix a timer overflow when monitoring for delays for trips in the slightly more distant future.
- Fixed several issues following from inconsistent ordering of timeline entries, such as two elements starting at exactly the same time and having no defined end time. This could reesult in duplicate or lost timeline entries under some circumstances.
- Correctly reset the trip group name field after closing the rename dialog.
- Fix overly aggressive input validation on manually entered flight numbers.
- Continous Flatpak builds for testing the latest development version are now also available for ARM64.

Welcome Kaidan 0.15.0! This release adds experimental support for calls. In addition, it contains some very useful improvements and lots of fixes.
Most of the work has been funded by NLnet via NGI Zero Entrust and NGI Zero Commons Fund with public money provided by the European Commission.
Audio/Video Calls
Kaidan has supported voice and video messages for a long time. Starting with this release, you can even have an audio or video call with a contact! An incoming call is indicated via a notification and you can either accept or reject it.
Please note that there are still some features missing and some setups may not work properly. Especially, calls are only supposed to work on Linux at the moment. But wee wanted to share the current achievements with you to get some feedback! Our goal is to extend the A/V calls functionality and make it available on other operating systems in the future.
Notifications for Group Chat Replies
Formerly, you got a notification if someone mentioned you in a group chat while the corresponding setting was enabled. But you could miss replies to your messages. Kaidan notifies you now on receiving replies as well.
Message Input Field Focusing
In contrast to the soft keyboard on a mobile device, which needs to be opened each time you want to enter something, your keyboard is always reachable on a desktop device. Why not make use of that circumstance? Kaidan ensures that the most relevant message input field stays focused to allow entering text without an additional click into the corresponding field. That way, you can interact smoothly with the user interface and be more productive.
Advanced Message Highlighting
Kaidan 0.14 introduced highlighted messages if you opened their context menu. Messages are now also highlighted while they are being corrected or while you are choosing emojis to react to them. If another message was already highlighted before, that message is highlighted again once you sent the correction/reaction.
Integrated Search Field
With Kaidan, you can quickly search for chats and messages. But while searching for messages, the opened search bar reduced the space for messages. On mobile devices, the search bar even consumed unnecessary space within the chat list. Both problems are solved now! The search field is integrated into the main toolbar above the messages resp. the chat list. You can even focus each search field via an own keyboard shortcut to directly search without moving the cursor.
Password Manager Fallback
Since Kaidan’s last version, passwords are stored in a password manager if the system provides one. But there was no fallback yet. It is now possible to use Kaidan even if no password manager is available. In that case, the passwords are stored in an unencrypted file. Once Kaidan detects a password manager on start, the unencrypted passwords are automatically migrated to the password manager.
Changelog
There are several other improvements. Have a look at the following changelog for more details.

The docs-kde-org project currently relies on an old, hard forked version of dblatex, which is bundled directly within the repository. This makes maintenance difficult.
What’s dblatex?
From the man page: dblatex is a program that transforms your SGML/XML DocBook documents to DVI, PostScript or PDF by translating them into pure LaTeX as a first process. MathML 2.0 markups are supported, too. It started as a clone of DB2LaTeX.
My task is to swap the bundled dblatex with the one present in the upstream repos and make the PDF generation work reliably. Then switch the rendering backend from pdfLaTeX to XeLaTeX to support native unicode (to fix rendering issues for languages like Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, etc).
If that doesn’t work out, I’ll extract the dblatex fork into its own repository to ease maintenance.
Checkpoints to achieve
Swap our current fork and use the latest upstream version. Also compare these two.
Migrate from
pdfLaTeXtoXeLaTeXVerify our fixes and confirm if all the PDFs are being generated properly.
I’ll be sharing my progress and struggles (setting this website up was probably a struggle in itself) from time to time as I start this project. This work is part of Season of KDE, mentored by Johnny Jazeix.
We are happy to announce the release of Qt Creator 19 Beta!

I have a pile of hard drives. 3.5” Spinning rust. There’s like a dozen of them, some labeled cryptically (EBN D2), some infuriatingly (1) and some not-at-all. Probably most of them work. But how to effectively figure out what is on them? FreeBSD to the rescue.
Hotplug Just Works
All the drives are SATA. I do have an IDE drive, I use it for opening beer bottles. And an ST-225
for old-time’s sake. But SATA it is, and there’s spare SATA data- and power-cables dangling out the
side of my PC. This particular machine runs FreeBSD 14.3, and connecting a drive (data first, then power)
yields some messages in the system log. Old-school, the command to read these is still dmesg,
which prints:
ada3 at ahcich0 bus 0 scbus0 target 0 lun 0
ada3: <WDC WD3200AAKS-00SBA0 12.01B01> ATA-7 SATA 2.x device
ada3: Serial Number WD-WMAPZ0561055
ada3: 300.000MB/s transfers (SATA 2.x, UDMA6, PIO 8192bytes)
ada3: Command Queueing enabled
ada3: 305245MB (625142448 512 byte sectors)
That matches information printed on the label of the disk (this drive is from 2007, has a 1 written on it in black marker – it may have been a drive in the English Breakfast Network server back then). It also tells me that the disk is registered with the system as ada3.
FreeBSD’s disk subsystem is a stack of “GEOM classes”. The geom(4) manpage tells me
that it is a modular disk I/O request transformation framework, but the important bit is geom(8), the command to query the disk subsystem.
Running geom disk list ada3 tells me what is known about disks involved with ada3. This actually doesn’t tell
me much I don’t already know:
Geom name: ada3
Providers:
1. Name: ada3
Mediasize: 320072933376 (298G)
Sectorsize: 512
Mode: r0w0e0
descr: WDC WD3200AAKS-00SBA0
lunid: 50014ee0aabd8fe3
ident: WD-WMAPZ0561055
rotationrate: unknown
fwsectors: 63
fwheads: 16
Well, actually this tells me that the dmesg and geom output are in mibi- and gibi-bytes, and that they’re consistent.
How about partitions on this disk, though? geom part list ada3 tells me (here I’ve removed several partitions, along with many other lines that are not very useful right now; the output is extensive):
Geom name: ada3
scheme: GPT
Providers:
1. Name: ada3p1
Mediasize: 819200 (800K)
efimedia: HD(1,GPT,a43a2da3-bb5f-11e5-8d81-f5e4d894ddb1,0x22,0x640)
label: (null)
type: efi
index: 1
2. Name: ada3p2
Mediasize: 315679277056 (294G)
efimedia: HD(2,GPT,a43c9069-bb5f-11e5-8d81-f5e4d894ddb1,0x662,0x24bff9c0)
label: (null)
type: freebsd-ufs
index: 2
So it is a GPT-partitioned disk, and at least one of the partitions is an “old-fashioned” UFS partition. That’s FreeBSD before ZFS became the de-facto standard filesystem (maybe just for me). This disk is simple to deal with (further notes below)!
After I’m done with the disk, I power it down first with
camcontrol standby ada3. I can hear the disk stop spinning
and then pull out the connectors (power first, then data). And move on to
the next disk. After disconnecting, dmesg confirms that I unplugged the correct drive:
ada3 at ahcich0 bus 0 scbus0 target 0 lun 0
ada3: <WDC WD3200AAKS-00SBA0 12.01B01> s/n WD-WMAPZ0561055 detached
(ada3:ahcich0:0:0:0): Periph destroyed
This way I can step through all of the drives in my pile and then jot down what disk does what (or, in rare cases, decide they can be zeroed out and re-used for something else).
Dealing with non-GPT disks
The scheme reported by geom part list is GPT if you’re sensible,
but of course it is possible to bump into MBR and BSD disklabels
as well. The geom subsystem abstracts all that away, and the only
realy difference is the names of devices.
Scheme BSD, also known as BSD disklabel,
gives you ada3a and ada3d, rather than numbered partitions.
It is possible to apply this to a whole disk. It is also possible to
have a BSD disklabel inside an MBR partition, but that’s a late-90s kind of setup.
Scheme MBR gives you numbered partitions, but FreeBSD calls these slices
instead of partitions and so you end up with ada3s1 instead of ada3p1.
Dealing with UFS
UFS partitions are pretty simple: mount them somewhere and things will be OK.
I go for read-only, and I have a /mnt/tmp for all my arbitrary-disk-mounting activity.
So mount -o ro /dev/ada3p2 /mnt/tmp it is (ada3p2 is the partition name found earlier).
This particular disk turned out to be my main workstation drive around 2017, with a handful of still-interesting files on it. Ones I would not have missed if I hadn’t looked, but it was nice to find a presentation PDF I gave to SIDN once-upon-a-time.
After looking, umount /mnt/tmp to unmount and release the disk.
After that, power-down and disconnect as described above.
Dealing with ZFS
Slightly newer disks might be ZFS. Here’s the partition information for one:
Providers:
1. Name: ada3p1
Mediasize: 250059309056 (233G)
label: backup0
type: freebsd-zfs
index: 1
It’s a GPT partition with a label, and ZFS on it. That means it’s part of a ZFS pool,
and is probably referred to within the pool by its label. Possibly by its ID.
In any case, ZFS needs to be imported, not mounted, because the filesystems
are contained as part of the storage pool. The command to discover what is
available is zpool import , which doesn’t actually import anything.
pool: zbackup
config:
zbackup ONLINE
gpt/backup0 ONLINE
That’s encouraging: the pool consists of a single drive and everything is online.
To make the filesystems in this pool available, I need to import it. I’ll
force it (-f, because it was probably untimely ripp’d from whatever machine it was
in previously), without mounting any of the filesystems in it (-N), readonly
(-o readonly=on) with a temporary name (-t zwhat), like so: zpool import -f -N -o readonly=on -t zbackup zwhat
After importing the pool, zfs list tells me what filesystems are available:
zwhat 36.2G 189G 25K /zwhat
zwhat/home 36.2G 189G 36.0G /tmp/foo/
I can mount a single ZFS filesystem just like a UFS filesystem.
The ZFS filesystem knows where it would want to be mounted (/tmp/foo, I have no
idea what I was doing back then), but we can treat it like a legacy filesystem:
mount -t zfs zwhat/home /mnt/tmp
After looking, umount /mnt/tmp to unmount and release the disk.
After that, power-down and disconnect as described above.
Dealing with Linux ext4
If the disk comes from a Linux machine, then it may have an ext4 filesystem on it. I still usually pick that when installing Linuxes. Here’s the partition information for one:
scheme: MBR
Providers:
2. Name: ada3s2
Mediasize: 64428703744 (60G)
rawtype: 131
type: linux-data
There is ext4 support in the FreeBSD kernel, although it is named ext2
(and some ext4 filesystems use unsupported features, and then it won’t mount).
But for simple cases: mount -o ro -t ext2fs /dev/ada3s2 /mnt/tmp does the job.
Dealing with linux-raid
I found two disks, both WD Caviar Blue, labeled EBN D1 and EBN D2 with similar layouts. Those are linux-raid disks, and this is something I can’t deal with in FreeBSD. Heck, I’m not confident I can deal with them under Linux anymore, either.
Providers:
1. Name: ada3s1
Mediasize: 493928031744 (460G)
efimedia: HD(1,MBR,0xa8a8a8a8,0x3f,0x398033d3)
rawtype: 253
type: linux-raid
Re-purposing Disks
KDE has a lovely partitioning tool, but I wouldn’t be me if I didn’t go for the command-line approach. Make sure the disk isn’t mounted anywhere, but is powered up.
Zero out the first gigabyte or so of the disk: dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ada3 bs=1M count=1024
I guess this isn’t strictly necessary, and geom warns during this operation that the
GPT is corrupt and the backup GPT (at the other end of the disk) should probably be used. Ignore that.
Destroy the partition table some more: geom part destroy -F ada3 , now it is really dead.
Make a new GPT partition table on the disk: geom part create -s gpt ada3
Start adding partitions to the partition table. I (now) use labels with the last digits of the drive’s serial-number. This drive gets a gigabyte of swap (just in case) and the rest is a ZFS partition which I can add to a pool later.
geom part add -t freebsd-swap -s 1G -l swap-159666 ada3geom part add -t freebsd-zfs -l zfs-159666 ada3
Why the labels-with-serial-numbers? Well, that’s so that I can subsequently create a ZFS pool
from labeled partitions, and it remains obvious where the parts of the pool come from
and also prevents name-collisions from naming everything backup0 and so.
I've been administering KDE's participation in the Google Summer of Code program for the last few years (and mentoring on some). This post is just some personal thoughts on the differences between what the KDE organization expects and what usually the applicants want (I'm not in everybody heads, it's assumptions from my experience). I don't provide any solution (because I don't have any) and there is no judgment (both point of views are valid), just a personal point of view.
Applicants point of view
GSoC is a individual competitive program which can be a huge boost to start a career. There are usually two major reasons for the applicants to participate in GSoC:
- the money.
- the experience and the line in the CV for real life work.
There is, for a lot of applicants, no genuine interest in the projects (at least at the beginning, the first interaction is often "I want to start contributing to KDE and prepare for GSoC"), and they mostly want a GSoC slot. Small digression, on one of my projects, two people already asked to contribute and if we were doing GSoC, but after telling them that contributions are welcomed and we will only propose a topic if we feel enough confidence that the contributor would stay after, they told us they preferred to choose another project.
Contributors consider GSoC as an end of their studies, not a project they want to contribute after: there is also a change of life to consider between university life and work life and a balance to achieve when starting the latter (which could be in a different town/country) which may be a reason for the drop of interest.
Organization point of view
GSoC is an opportunity to welcome new contributors to our community. The organization usually expects from GSoC:
- contributors willing to contribute regularly to their projects.
- implementation (partial or total) of the proposed ideas.
- having a positive return on investment (is the time spent mentoring worth the result?)
GSoC is mostly a step to have contributors learning about the projects, and contribute in the long-term. Long-term is purposely vague; what we expected for the GCompris project was the contributor would contribute at least one year and mentor for the next GSoC (so a loop was present, and applicants would also gain an experience on mentoring, while giving some relief to the other experienced mentors) but it can vary depending on the project.
For the return on investment, mentors do not consider it good having spent more than three months mentoring for projects they could have done in less time they spent to mentor the contributor. Helping someone grow is always personally rewarding but we still hope this person will also show us the results of the teaching by improving our projects in the future.
Impacts of the differences
There is a huge difference on the expectations. What can we do to reach a common ground where everyone is happy?
- Organizations cannot force anyone to contribute after the GSoC end.
- If money is the main motivation to stay, most organizations will not have money to hire applicants to work after (and do we want to hire someone only motivated by money? No, it's not OSS values, we love passion).
- Find ways to create a real interest for the organization. In KDE, we have the chance to have tons of projects with different topics (astronomy, education, digital painting, video editing, scientific plotting, games, desktop environment, system administration, internationalization, ...) where it is easy to participate to other projects from time to time and learn new things if we are curious enough.
- Be stricter on the entry point for organizations: explicitly say in the beginning that we expect a long-term relationship not just the equivalent of an internship. It should reduce the number of applicants and only keep the ones with a genuine interest (if applicants are honest of course).
- Organizations/Mentors could reduce their objectives of GSoC and consider that contributors are here to produce and spend less time on training/mentoring, expecting contributors already know the basics, but this would totally spoil the nature of the program.
Another track is to find the projects where contributors stay / don't stay and understand the difference. Most of the big KDE applications don't manage to keep their contributors, while smaller ones do. Maybe as a contributor, it's because it's more difficult to take decisions, feel included/listened on large projects because they have a high maturity level/long-term contributors and a well-defined vision? Whereas on smaller projects, there are fewer constraints from the existing environment and it feels more rewarding and motivating to contribute there?
To conclude, here are the statistics for KDE retention the last years:
| Year | Started | Completed | Active after 1 year | Active after 2 years | Active after 3 years |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2018 | 20 | 17 | 5 | 5 | 4 |
| 2019 | 24 | 22 | 9 | 8 | 8 |
| 2020 | 21 | 19 | 2 | 2 | 1 |
| 2021 | 16 | 15 | 8 | 6 | 3 |
| 2022 | 7 | 6 | 5 | 1 | 0 |
| 2023 | 9 | 7 | 3 | 3 | 2 |
| 2024 | 10 | 10 | 4 | 2 | - |
| 2025 | 15 | 12 | 6 | - | - |
That is, an average of 15 people sign up each year, of which
- an average of 90% finish
- 44% continued contributing 1 year later
- 28% continued contributing 2 years later
- 22% continued contributing 3 years later
We would of course love having more contributors staying at least one year but it's almost half and a quarter that stay active for a few years!
