Links to changes are not working

The link to the list of digiKam bugs closed leads to a page that prompts me to log in. Is the link correct? Maybe it works for you if you have a previously remembered login.

The link to the list of Kipi-plugins bugs closed opens a prompt to save "NEWS" as a "BIN" file. Is the MIME type correct, or is that beyond your control?

Macs

I really really really love digikam- in fact, I'm using linux just because of digikam. Everything else I do in OS X. I prefer it that hard over iPhoto and Aperture.

I know digikam can run on OS X, I've had it running once or twice but found it to be unstable. Is there a digikam-on-mac effort I can be directed to / become part of? I'd love to try this beta on the OS X side.

DVD Slideshows

As much as I like Digikam, I really wish it had the capability to make MPEG slideshows like it did in the days of Ubuntu 9.04. I can only hope someone has a solution for this. :(
