Odd press release
by Elad Lahav on Thursday 02/Aug/2007, @05:52

Is marble really the most important architectural feature in this Beta? Where are Plasma, Phonon, NEPOMUK and the other components that are supposed to be the foundation of the new desktop?
People who have been tracking KDE4's development may be up to speed on these issues. But if I were someone who was supposed to be informed by this press release, I would have thought this Beta to be in very poor shape.

most of them are not actived by default.you have to enable them to test.but it doesnt mean they doesnt exist.
and what you read in the official page, I think it was a visual changelog.

they are all activated by default. however, it was decided to focus on the apps that were most ready and stable for this beta release. why? to showcase what is currently at the best working state and to show that app devel is indeed very possible with the current libs.

There simply was no really big, major news since Alpha 1 on those. So when I wrote this announcement, I simply choose not to talk about them... They are there, under the hood. Dolphin has progressed in integrating NEPOMUK, but isn't ready yet, nor is it enabled. I did talk about plasma, Phonon did improve, but mostly under-the-hood again - so the most visible things are those that are mentioned (though I might have left some out, of course).
