KDE 4.0 Beta 3 Release Announcement
KDE.org ^

Posted on 10/17/2007 6:48:58 PM PDT by Halfmanhalfamazing

The KDE Community is happy to release the third Beta for KDE 4.0. This Beta is aimed at further polishing of the KDE codebase and also marks the freeze of the KDE Development Platform. We are joined in this release by the KOffice project which releases its 4th alpha release, bringing many improvements in OpenDocument support, a KChart Flake shape and much more to those willing to test. Since the last Beta, most of KDE has been frozen for new features, instead receiving the necessary polish and bugfixing. The components which were exempt from this freeze saw significant improvements as planned, and Aaron Seigo notes: "It is amazing to see the Plasma community growing. The pace of development is amazing, and we're getting really close to having all the features we want for KDE 4.0 available. After that, we have a solid foundation for implementing new and exciting user interface concepts for the Free Desktop".

?

It’s none of those.

It’s a press release for a free software package.

A pretty important one at that.

Perhaps I’ve been reading one too many ‘road to kde4’ articles...............

So we aren’t supposed to discuss possible technology innovations on FR? I must have missed the memo assigning new hall monitors too...
