  KDE 4.0.4 Out Now, Codenamed File-Not-Found
KDE Official News Posted by Sebastian Kuegler on Wednesday 07/May/2008, @01:55
from the not-qt-four-four dept.
Another month, another update to the KDE 4.0 series. This time, we are presenting KDE 4.0.4, dubbed File-Not-Found to the audience. KDE 4.0.4 brings improvements to KHTML, Okular and various other components. We recommend that people who are already running KDE 4.0 releases update to 4.0.4. The emphasis of this release lies, as usual in stabilising, bugfixing, performance improvements and updated translations -- no new features. The developers have again squashed quite some bugs which you can find some of in the changelog. With this release, the KDE community continues to support the KDE 4.0 series that has been released for brave users earlier this year. KDE 4.1, to be released this summer (in the northern-hemisphere) will bring new features and applications. KDE 4.1 is based on the recently released Qt 4.4 while KDE 4.0.4 is still based on Qt 4.3 as is the case with the whole KDE 4.0 series. So put on your update shoes and install 4.0.4 today.

Changelog still incomplete?
by Yves on Wednesday 07/May/2008, @06:28
There are no changes mentioned regarding plasma nor kwin.

Is the changelog really already fully updated?

Qt backwards compatible
by Leaves on Wednesday 07/May/2008, @06:47
Hey,

I was wondering since Qt is backwards compatible in the 4.* series you can also run KDE 4.0 with Qt 4.4?

Thanks,
Leaves

Who does still use the kde 4.0 series?
by kde4 on Wednesday 07/May/2008, @08:23
Most people I know either got back to kde 3.5.9 or jumped to the 4.1 alphas. I'm curious to know how many masochists (brave?) people are still on the 4.0 series.

PS: I do think releasing 4.0 was a good decision but I don't think anyone is still using it now, so maybe kde devs should forget about it and just focus on 4.1 now. I know I wouldn't care less if there is no 4.0.5 in june but a kick ass 4.1 in july :D

Status of kio slaves
by Wondering about features on Wednesday 07/May/2008, @09:14
I realise this is probably the worst place to ask but I don't know where else :-) Does anyone have a (complete) list of all the slaves which were ported/are useable under 4.x, or is there a way to query my own installation to find which ones I have?

Saving widgets in plasma
by metellius on Wednesday 07/May/2008, @20:23
Seeing as there are no updated to plasma, does this mean that 4.0.4, just like 4.0.3 still doesnt save widgets on the desktop between sessions?
If this is the case, hasn't anyone considered backporting this fix from svn?

Personally, this is the simple bug that is keeping me from using the kde 4.0.x releases.

Plasma crashes on logout and looses all configurations I made.
This is why I came back to good and old KDE3

Love to use it, but can't
by Oscar on Thursday 08/May/2008, @12:23
The killer feature for me is suspend, which doesn't work on kubuntu. Can't say why it won't work, just that it won't. I'm stuck with 3.X until this is fixed. I don't want to restart my computer every time I need to move.

opensuse, and Kde4.x questions
by Student on Thursday 08/May/2008, @14:40
Hello fellow kde-fans :-)

1: I have opensuse10.3, and I'm using the kde4:unstable. What version is that? 4.1.x? or 4.0.x?

2: Is it any EASY way possible for me to have 4.1 unstable? (one-click)

3: Why do they use 4.0.x when it's old? The "stable" version will be 4.1, and the changes will be very different. Is it only for the apps? I think they should have weekly releases of the 4.1.x tree..
