KDE 4.2: Codenamed Caterpillar, Promising a Butterfly
,----[ Quote ]
| If the first beta of KDE 4.2 is any indication, then the final release of the
| popular GNU/Linux desktop should be the release in which KDE 4 comes into its
| own.
|
| Featuring numerous small enhancements to system settings and standard
| applications, as well as improved customization and features on the desktop
| and panel, 4.2 is a significant upgrade by any standards. Codenamed
| Caterpillar, the release offers hopeful hints of the butterfly that is
| scheduled to emerge in January.

| The KDE Community today announced the immediate availability
| of "Caterpillar", (a.k.a KDE 4.2 Beta 1), the first testing release of the

| upcoming KDE 4.2 desktop which provides significant improvements all over the
| desktop and applications.

free software supply chains
,----[ Quote ]
| Over the past few months I've been quietly tracking our upstream and
| downstream interactions. The motivation for this has been my experience with
| the KDE 4 series, in which we have both been on more people's radar (when was
| the last time NVidia mentioned KDE 3 in a driver release?) and seen more
| trainwrecks both up- and down-stream from us.
|
| [...]
|
| I'm devoting brain time to this because it is going to be increasingly
| critical to get our act together if we want to take on the next level of
| competition we face in the market without gutting our values and our
| resources. We have to communicate and coordinate much, much better between
| the different points in our software supply chain and get our roles correctly
| aligned with each other. Right now it's very ad-hoc and the network of people
| has grown beyond that which is sustainable based on a who-knows-who game
| masquerading as personal relationships.

| The white arrow on the edge is the expander: click on it and hidden icons
| show up. If you have no hidden system tray icons then the expander isn't
| shown.

KDE 4.2 is flat out going to rock
,----[ Quote ]
| That’s my prediction. Of course, the truth of the matter is that KDE 4.2
| (trunk) flat out rocks today. Seriously. I have never been more excited about
| the Linux desktop than I am right now. And this, 2+ months out from our
| actual KDE 4.2 release. I’ve been running OpenSUSE 11 for a couple of months
| now, and thanks to the awesome nightly/weekly KDE 4.2/trunk packages, I’m
| thoroughly enjoying pretty-darned-bleeding-edge 4.2/trunk packages, but with
| half the carbs, and I am loving what I’m seeing!
