Main

KTutorial is a library for interactive tutorials in KDE applications. Tutorials are embeded in the application itself, and reacts to user actions: waits for some task to be accomplished, warns if something wasn't done as it should, etcetera. As the tutorial is being followed, the system gives feedback to the user.

It is licensed under the GNU GPL version 2 or later. It is also free as in "free beer".

KTutorial 0.5.1 released!

2012-12-06

This is the first release licensed under the GPLv2+, and the first one containing translations provided by the KDE localization teams (thank you for your work! :) ).

The release notes contain more information about the changes from 0.5 release.

Check the download page for information about downloading and building KTutorial.

And yes, I know, I have a very loose concept of "soon" :P

License changed from GPLv3+ to GPLv2+

2012-09-04

I have changed the KTutorial license from GPLv3+ to GPLv2+ to ensure that any KDE application can use KTutorial (with the previous license it could be used only in applications that did not link against any GPLv2 only libraries) and to be able to move the code to KDE repositories.

I will release a new KTutorial version featuring the new license soon.

Three videos with examples of KTutorial for the real world (tutorials for showFoto, Kdenlive and Gwenview) have been added to the screenshots page.

An explanation of each example, including the tutorial sources for KTutorial editor and the patch to add support for KTutorial in each application, has been added also to the blog (example for showFoto, example for Kdenlive and example for Gwenview).
