KDE 4.3 RC + Lancelot themes… a bad combo

,----[ Quote ]
| Just as a note, since Air is now the default theme for Plasma (and what’s 
| worse, it is even called “default” instead of “air”), you’ll see that the 
| Lancelot themes in 4.3 RC are screwed up. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to fix 
| this before 4.3 RC tagging today (I was too late to discover the issue in the 
| first place).

KDE 4.3 branched, trunk is now 4.4

,----[ Quote ]
| The release team has just done something a bit different from past release 
| cycles to test out some modifications to our usual work flow: with the 
| release of the first release candidate, 4.3 has been immediately branched off 
| of the mainline trunk, and trunk is now 4.4. In the past we've done this only 
| when the new release is actually made, not during the release candidates.

On KDE4.3

,----[ Quote ]
| We are almost one month far away from the kde4.3 release. Yesterday the 4.3 
| rc1 was tagged and due to excellent work of our colleagues in OBS we have it 
| already.  
| 
| Personally, I would have liked it to go a little bit further away in terms of 
| usability, we will speak about that later.  This release will mark the break 
| with 3.5. I see no real reason for not using kde 4.3. All the functionality 
| that people were crying after from 3.5 is finally up and running (a lot of 
| time better) in KDE 4.3.

,----[ Quote ]
| Aaron Seigo has published a list of changes and new features to Plasma, the
| desktop shell for KDE4, that will be included in KDE4.3. This list is quite
| long, so I will only try to show the most important changes.

KDE 4.3 Beta 1 - looking pretty

,----[ Quote ]
| Looking back for a moment, there's no question that KDE 4 has had a very
| rough ride. Certainly, version 4.0 was a disappointment for many users,
| lacking features and functionality to make the move from 3.5 worthwhile.
| Version 4.1 started to repair the damage, and 4.2 padded it out to be good
| all-round desktop (don't miss our top KDE 4.2 tips!). Will 4.3 be the first
| 4.x release to win over armies of Gnome fans?

KDE 4.3 - early preview

,----[ Quote ]
| Like it or not, KDE 4.3 will be a great leap forward in this environment’s
| development. I won’t hesitate to say, it will be a bigger one than KDE 4.1 to
| 4.2. Interestingly enough, my compilation of development snapshot worked
| stable and jerk-free - no major issues there.

wallpapers and other bobbles for 4.3

,----[ Quote ]
| We have a number of new Plasma components lining up to make it into 4.3. Not
| least among them is a geolocation DataEngine, making it absolutely trivial
| for anything Plasma to get at the information either via a GPS device or by
| looking up the location of your network address if you are online. Along with
| a handful of new widgets, some I've already written about recently, we also
| have no less than six new wallpaper plugins that may make it into 4.3!

Air and KDE 4.3.

,----[ Quote ]
| Air was the wallpaper we introduced in KDE 4.2, but that is just the
| beginning of something larger. Air is supposed to be different than what
| Oxygen is, something that tries to appeal to a user base looking for a
| more "sexy" experience than Oxygen (yeah I know you are out there :) ), but
| to still have the capability of merging nicely with what we have now.

Five Improvements For KDE 4.3

,----[ Quote ]
| The new year has already brought us a nice treat in KDE 4.2. I found it to be
| a very solid desktop, yet with some issues that keep it from 100% perfection.
| I’m happy to say that 4.2 occupies all of the computers that I use, yet there
| are still some serious problems that remain. Last year I did an article
| similar to this one, detailing the things I feel would make the KDE desktop
| rise to a higher level of perfection, and now that KDE 4.2 is released, it’s
| time to do it again.
