KDE 3.3.1: Bugs Squashed, Quanta Gets VPL

Posted by Navindra Umanee on Tuesday 12/Oct/2004, @21:47
from the stealing-news-from-osnews dept.
KDE 3.3.1 has been released. This latest and greatest from KDE mercilessly exterminates bugs in Konqueror, KHTML, the KDE Edutainment module, the KDE JuK box and more. Better yet, Plastik is now ridiculously fast and has become a strong contender for the default style in KDE 3.4. Also, the Quanta Web Development tool has been enhanced and now has the VPL (Visual Page Layout aka WYSIWYG) mode enabled. For the gory details, read the KDE 3.3.1 changelog.

But wait... How do you get your hands on all this goodness? We have binary packages and source packages and then we have Konstruct (details). So there.

And btw, translations have been greatly improved in this release.

Plastick? Default?
by Alex on Tuesday 12/Oct/2004, @22:47

What happened to the "we only change styles for major releases due to the work involved for documentation and user adjustment..." crowd?

I think that since we've kept with this all the time, might as well use Keramick as default once more. Plastick will easily be selected by users and most distributions will also do the same.

KPDF
by Martin on Wednesday 13/Oct/2004, @00:09

Biggest improvement (by reading the announcement,
haven't downloaded it yet) seems to be that
KPDF now works. Why isn't that mentioned?
Or did I get it wrong?

More details about KDE PIM changes
by Daniel Molkentin on Wednesday 13/Oct/2004, @02:50

I went through the commits and added more detais to the kdepim section of the changelog. A lot of annoyances were fixed, and especially those who use disconnected IMAP are encuraged to upgrade.

All in all I want to thank everyone involved for participating in this amazing KDE project. The branch regulary profitted from backports from HEAD, especially due to the proko2 project, which uses the branch as basis. KDE PIM is more active, alive and kicking than ever before. Thanks to everyone involved and especially to all the enduring bug reporters that helped reproducing bugs.

[OT] Beautyfing KDE
by Anonymous on Wednesday 13/Oct/2004, @08:41

I know it's OT, but I think this deserves some attention: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=16962

Any chance we will see these patches in 3.4?

xdelta newbie question
by Val on Wednesday 13/Oct/2004, @20:49

Hi guys,

What are these .xdelta files all about? I know they are like binary diffs but where can I get the actual xdelta utility? I found something that claimed to be beta at www.xdelta.org. Is this the thing I should use? Thanks in advance.

Quanta web page
by gerd on Thursday 14/Oct/2004, @00:22

The Quanta web pages is very much out of date. Not a good advertisement for a web development tool. Even the screenshots are from 3.0/3.1!!

New KDM?
by Jouni H�tinen on Saturday 16/Oct/2004, @01:01

I'm mostly pleased with every new KDE release, but IMHO every time KDM has been changed, it has been changed to even worse. First the "Session type" was moved, now I can't even find the button for reset X!

Please, do something about KDM! It was so much more convenient when you could choose the session type directly without navigating on some stupid menus.

Puh-leeze!
