My first task in development was porting the current code base to KDE 3 which had been recently released. While the step from KDE 1 to KDE 2 was a complete re-write of the environment, KDE 3 was simply a chance to break binary compatibility with KDE 2. There were relatively few differences to the APIs and these were sufficiently well documented that it was a straightforward job to track down the required changes. Umbrello was originally written for KDE 2. The major part of converting to KDE 3 was updating the autoconf and automake configuration files to make them compatible with the latest KDE version.
I immediately created and announced packages for the KDE 3 version of Umbrello, which was the first sign of activity from the project in some time and effectively restarted the project.
