<3 your writing style! :-)
See subject.
known bugs list?
Is there a list of known bugs and regressions?
There is a regression since 4.9.3: Bug 311214 (clicking on an opendocument file opens it as zip-file.)
It's already been fixed in source but it needs to be released.
bugzilla or your distro can help you...
As far as I know there's nothing else than a smart bugzilla query you can try. Meanwhile, you can try to ping your distro team to include the fix in their packages. It seems the openSUSE packages already have it as I can't reproduce this on 4.9.4 here.
Perhaps a wiki in future
Could be nice to have a wiki page for these kind of releases, so we can stand on each others shoulders.
Kubuntu has applied the patch as well now.
Apparently they fixed the Folder Refresh Bug!
From the list of bugfixes it looks like they have finally tackled the very long-standing bug where Dolphin/Plasma folder widgets would not show updates to files in a directory unless manually refreshed... YAY! This bug has been reported many times and I'm going to test it out to see if they have finally squashed it for good.
Let's see ;-)
Aw, that's cool. Hope it works with Nepomuk: I have a 'recent files' folderview on my desktop but after booting it shows that Nepomuk is not running - just a timing issue and a refresh solves it. I'll check it later today :D
High Memory Usage
In my system (Kubuntu 12.04) "plasma-desktop" is taking >90 MB after the update. I would be glad to know the appropriate forum to discuss it.
