PolishLinux KDE 4.1 Preview (Rev 790000)

Posted by Jonathan Thomas on Sunday 30/Mar/2008, @17:11
from the Polish-review-polish dept.
PolishLinux is at it again. 7000 svn revisions later PolishLinux has posted their next "visual changelog" article highlighting changes in KDE 4.1. The article highlights new features in numerous pPlasmoids, new Plasmoids, Plasma in general, Dolphin, Amarok, Kget and KWin compositing customization. From the article: "Now I can be almost sure that when a stable edition of KDE 4.1 is published, I will definitely say good [bye] to my old good KDE 3.5."

Great stuff
by borker on Sunday 30/Mar/2008, @20:14

Congratz to the Polish Linux guys and gals; there visual changelogs always show KDE4 at its best and they did a great job tracking their county's efforts in the recent ooxml vote also.

webkit in konqueror?
by sloppy bobby on Sunday 30/Mar/2008, @20:33

>> Soon we can all expect 100% compatibility, though, since WebKit, the Konqueror engine has been already fixed in Safari to pass the new Acid test.

This is going to make KHTML devs happy :)

Where's 4.1 in Kubuntu?
by John on Sunday 30/Mar/2008, @21:34

I know I could compile it manually but I don't have time for that and I picked Kubuntu because they promised the best KDE4 dev package and support. All we get though is stable release :/ I'm stuck with kubuntu now so I can't switch to OpenSuse, please Kubuntu dev comply with your promise and bring those KDE 4.1 preview packages already!

Amazing progress
by Aaron on Sunday 30/Mar/2008, @22:03

My own experience completely jibes with the PolishLinux review. Especially in the last 2 weeks (compiling from SVN) or so it seems like a lot of things have started coming together making it a much more usable desktop. Not just new features but stability in the existing ones. Can't wait to see what stable 4.1 looks like if this is what it is 3 (4?) months in advance.

KDE4 rocks!
by Artem S. Tashkinov on Monday 31/Mar/2008, @00:18

As soon as I get a substitute for KSensors, KAlsaMix and KNetStats/KNemo then I will switch to KDE4 immediately. Unfortunately none of this applications is now being ported.

KDE 4 is great!
by Dmitry on Monday 31/Mar/2008, @01:54

Just one problem with KDE 4: lot of application not ported from KDE 3.x, in particular I will delay my migration to KDE 4 until Kontact is not ported. But I hope this may be as soon as possible! ;)

Really slick!
by m. on Monday 31/Mar/2008, @02:30

Great!

With each week KDE 4.1 looks better. Much kudos to all KDE developers for their excellent work and to Korneliusz for keeping us informed.

Derek's digest is excellent but very technical and it's nice to see from time to time what is all that about!

Bespin!
by Riothamus on Monday 31/Mar/2008, @10:28

I love the look of Bespin! I've often felt that Oxygen did look a little too much like other proprietary desktop environments (not that I'm hating on it, I still think it looks nice). But Bespin looks rather slick, with some unique style to it. I love the look of the progress bar and tabs in particular.

Great visual changelog, thanks Polish..
by Max on Monday 31/Mar/2008, @14:30

Thanks Polish-linux for this visual changelog.

It makes it much easier to show and recruit newbies to the wonderful world of KDE 4.X.

It also helps in creating buzz for the KDE cause.

I hope people will post a visual changelog like this for Amarok 2.0 as well. :)
Maybe even videos.

by stormwind on Monday 31/Mar/2008, @15:12

Does someone know how to install Dashboard Widgets? I compiled trunk but the only option i get is "Plasmoid: Native plasma widget" - no Superkaramba and no MacOS Dashboard Widgets.

Thanks!

That's a very nice article and KDE 4.1 really starts looking good and usable!

One question: I tried KDE 4.0.2 (the Fedora Live CD) and one thing that made it unusable for me is that having the panel on the left side, while possible, simply isn't usable (I have a widescreen which is why I like having it there). Anyone knows what plans there are for the panel and whether that will be fixed in KDE 4.1?
