TWM Updated For 2010: X Render Support, Etc

,----[ Quote ]
| We are just a few days into 2010, but the standard (basic) window 
| manager for X.Org, TWM, has finally received some updates. 
| TWM has been around for 13 years and under the hands of many 
| developers, but is now receiving some new development love 
| from Eeri Kask. Eeri has been hacking away at TWM for a 
| few years now and has made many improvements already, but 
| this is the first time since September of 2008 that he 
| is announcing some of his new work.

++2009;

| The KOffice team started making releases 
| of the KOffice 2 series which is the first 
| to use the KDE Development Platform 4.x. 
| They began working with Nokia on file 
| format and applications like Krita 
| (natural media painting) and Kexi 
| (database) continue to be the amazing apps 
| they have been while others like Karbon 
| have reached new heights. KOffice still 
| has a ways to go and hopefully they 
| continue to grow the community around it, 
| but 2009 was a milestone year for the 
| project which has been around since the 
| pre-2.x days.
| 
| Another one in the "around forever and now 
| releasing betas for the KDE Dev Platform 
| 4" category is KDevelop. It will have its 
| stable releases starting in 2010, but it 
| was a huge milestone to get into betas 
| during 2009 and it is shaping up to be a 
| very impressive (and already very usable) 
| IDE with some extremely nifty features, 
| especially in the code completion and 
| discovery areas.
| 
| Digikam for KDE Devel Patform 4.x was also 
| released in 2009 and it was met with 
| glowing reviews. With the KDE Imaging 
| Plugin Interface (KIPI) framework, which 
| has moved closer to the "core" by moving 
| into KDE Graphics to the benefit of 
| applications like Gwenview, Digikam is 
| starting to get the respect it deserves 
| and is rapidly shaping up to be the Amarok 
| for digital photography.
