Kontact
by Cirehawk on Tuesday 09/Mar/2004, @11:58
Great, hopefully some rpm's for MDK9.2 will show up soon. I do have a question about Kontact though. I think I saw where there will eventually be a plugin for Exchange server. Any estimate on when that might happen?

Important for Quanta PHP developers
by Eric Laffoon on Tuesday 09/Mar/2004, @13:33
Hi,
If you have been experiencing slowdowns with PHP in Quanta you will want to upgrade. There was a bug that slipped through in 3.2 that selectively caused real problems parsing some PHP documents yet was fine with our test cases. We actually had to do a small parser reorganization and some heavy testing. (Thanks testers!)

Also if you were disappointed with VPL it is not perfected yet in 3.2.1 but some bugs and annoying behavior was fixed so it's more usable.

Enjoy!

Screenshots
by micio on Tuesday 09/Mar/2004, @14:39
Ok, KDE 3.2.1 is out, but the KDE website has STILL not updated the screenshots for KDE 3.2.0

http://www.kde.org/screenshots/

PS: Still not able to install RPMs for KDE 3.2 because of dependency hell in Fedora Core 1 (grrr...) - The instructions here don't work:

http://fedoranews.org/krishnan/tutorial/kde3.2/

Mind you I haven't bothered to learn how to compile anything! I've read snippits that IBM _may_ be focusing on Desktop development. Maybe the dependency hell will die!

There has got to be an easier way!

I hope
by Alex on Tuesday 09/Mar/2004, @15:09
Hopefully Lindows and SuSE will include 3.2.1 (NOT 3.2.0 which hard too many rough spots) and Qt 3.3.2 after the fixed font bug is fixed. Qt 3.3.2 should come out in 2 weeks, right?

Free Software
by Martin Galpin on Wednesday 10/Mar/2004, @02:02
Last time I checked, whilst reading an article about RMS on KDE, he (and I) were pleased the project was so dedicated to the Free Software definition. Reading the announcement, and I just checked the homepage, at what point did the site maintainer switch to supporting the Open Source definition?

Konqueror bugs
by Pilaf on Wednesday 10/Mar/2004, @02:04
This is amazing, some of the most disturbing bugs in Konqueror (mainly KHTML) are gone! Especially the gifs-not-looping bug, the text-not-being-selected-on-certain-cases bug and the dotted-line-looking-dashed bug.

KDE rocks! *cries of joy*

Thanks Stephen Kulow
by fast_rizwaan_ on Wednesday 10/Mar/2004, @05:19
and All KDE Developers. I was not happy with 3.2.0 release due to KHTML. thanks.

cant play mp3s
by Markus Huber on Wednesday 10/Mar/2004, @14:23
Hi!

I finally merged kde3.2.1 and I'm very happy with it, except the sound. No program(juk, noatun) play any mp3 file. Oggs are working great.

I have libmad installed, so it should work.

Thanks for any advice

No KsCD in SuSe 9.0 packages
by Hiryu on Wednesday 10/Mar/2004, @16:55
Both KDE 3.2 and KDE 3.2.1 package sets for SuSe 9.0 are missing KsCD. Anyone know why? Anyway I can get an RPM containing KsCD? It doesn't come with the kdemultimedia package(s) strangely enough...

Thanks.

stall network bug back again
by Paulo Dias on Thursday 11/Mar/2004, @13:34
Great release, lot of bugs squashed, BUT the most irritating bug to me is back, the network stall bug, which appears every time i try to copy paste a file from a LAN, the file is efectivelly copied but the kde windows stalls at the end, waiting for the end of file which is already there.
this as working in kde 3.2.0, and the other bug (the smbmount share bug, which never mounted the share) is now fixed.. oh well, can't win them all:P

btw if anyone has an workaround for the stall dialog bug, please let me know:)

besides this, great release as usual :)

best regards..
