libkdcraw 2.1.0

Hi,

This is what I found in libkdcraw from beta3 sources:

# 2.1.0 => 21.0.0 (Released with KDE 4.8.1 - Remove deprecated members

But why actual libkdcraw version released with KDE 4.8.1 and 4.8.2 is 2.0.1?

libkexiv2 2.3.0, libkipi 1.6.0

The same problem with libkexiv and libkipi.
libkexiv2 is 2.1.0 in KDE 4.8.2 instead of 2.3.0
libkipi - 1.3.0 instead of 1.6.0

tsk tsk tsk...

tsk tsk tsk... are you releasing digikam-2.6 for kde-4.9 again? :)
