KDE 4.0 beta 4 released, extensive end user testing to begin
,----[ Quoe ]
| The KDE project has released the fourth beta of KDE 4.0, and with it a call
| for end-user testing. The project faces a major challenge in getting this
| major release stable and functional enough to meet users' expectations in
| time for release. The reason for this lies not only in the extent of the
| changes made to the underlying platform libraries that we looked at last
| week, but also in the collision of ground-breaking new development and a mass
| user base.

Recent build impressions
,----[ Quote ]
| Hey, I built KDE 4 overnight on my new Mandriva system, and while most of the
| pain was just in getting all the various -devel packages installed that I
| required for building, it seems that once those dependencies have been taken
| care of, everything went swimmingly.

Open Anywhere!

| If you’re reading this, you most likely already use Linux and open source
| software. But you’re undoubtedly faced with a common dilemma, one that all
| Linux users dread: Having to sit down at a computer that’s not running Linux,
| and is instead running — go ahead and say it… Windows — and actually have to
| get something done. Maybe it’s a computer at work; maybe it’s a friend’s
| machine — but in any case, it’s a Windows machine, it’s not yours, and it
| doesn’t have the software you know and love, like Firefox, Thunderbird, and
| OpenOffice.org. What are you going to do?

The Road to KDE 4: SVG Rendering in Applications
,----[ Quote ]
| Since KDE 4 development is in full swing with plans for a KDE 4.0
| release sometime later this year, I thought I'd put together a
| weekly piece entitled The Road to KDE 4. The idea is to have a
| short overview of one or two of the features that show progress
| in KDE 4. For my first issue, the goal is to show off some of
| the great SVG work that has taken place so far.

A sneak preview of the expected features in KDE 4.0
,----[ Quote ]
| KDE 4.0 will feature an API layer called Solid which will interact
| with projects like the hardware abstraction layer to let hardware
| connect smoothly with KDE.
|
| KDE 4.0 will feature better multimedia experience through a project
| called Phonon which will collaborate with Solid. So no more need to
| choose multimedia backends as the Phonon API will take care of it.
|
| Plasma will provide the next generation desktop experience in KDE
| 4.0. It is planned to integrate three separate applications namely
| the Kicker (Panel), KDesktop and Super Karamba (Widgets) into a
| single application. And the surprise of all things is that it will
| be possible to run the beautiful Dashboard widgets of Mac OSX in
| KDE 4.0.
