The Trinity Project Picks Up Where KDE 3.5.10 Left Off
,----[ Quote ]
| Hey, pst! Yes, you! I know you've been
| crying yourself to sleep at night ever
| since those mean, mean people developing
| the K Desktop Environment decided to
| radically change the way your favorite DE
| worked and release the dreaded "4"
| version. Good news! There's no more need
| to get over it and move on with your life,
| as, apparently, the God of open source
| decided to bring you a fork of KDE 3. Ok,
| maybe not God, but a company/team that
| goes under the name of Pearson Computing.

Sneak preview for coming KDE SC 4.5
,----[ Quote ]
| KDE SC 4.5 is in feature freeze right now.
| Therefore, I decide to share some of early
| screenshots with you. In General there are
| no major changes. It is all about
| polishing and fixing bugs. There is a lot
| of under-hood changes in libs which as
| enduser we cannot see. KDE SC will be
| release in August 2010. Now I will let you
| enjoy the screenshots.

Qt Multimedia/Mobility vs. Phonon: FIGHT!!!
,----[ Quote ]
| Well it's not really like that, but I
| guess those involved can think about it a
| bit like that at times!. For some
| background, Phonon is a Multimedia
| framework that was included in Qt 4 as far
| as I understand it, it was developed
| outside Qt, but was adopted (please
| correct me if my history is incorrect
| here). It was designed to give application
| developers easy access to media playback
| systems, be it MP3 music or new fangled
| WebM video! Rather than implement any of
| the complex stuff itself, Phonon hands off
| the actual decoding and playback parts to
| existing media frameworks. Originally Qt
| wrote a GStreamer "backend" for Phonon and
| this was the only available backend on
| Linux in the early stages (others were
| available for other platforms too). I
| personally think that GStreamer was a good
| choice. I think it is a very powerful
| system, but it's not for the feint
| hearted. I wont begin to pretend that I
| understand it (although I have hacked my
| way through some GST code!), but the
| principle of it's operation seemed to fit
| the needs of the Phonon project very
| nicely.

Five Improvements for KDE 4.5 (Part 2)
,----[ Quote ]
| In my opinion, the KDE4 desktop is the most
| revolutionary piece of Linux software since
| the Linux kernel itself, and I appreciate how
| it strives to challenge old desktop paradigms
| and introduce new ones.

Five Improvements for KDE 4.5 (Part 1)
,----[ Quote ]
| 4.) Easier Theme Installation
| Another issue I had with KDE (even with the
| KDE3.x series) is that themes are so easy to
| install in GNOME, but a pain in KDE. While
| installing new themes is still easiest to do
| in GNOME (download, drag, and drop) KDE SC 4.4
| has made strides in this area, finally. It can
| only get better from here.
|
| [...]
|
| So, there you have it. Those are
| features/changes I wished for during previous
| KDE releases that have all materialized into
| reality. With such progress, itâs clear that
| KDE is moving at the speed of light, and I
| predict KDE SC 4.5 will be the height of the
| KDE4 series. What am I hoping for in that
| release? Stay tuned next week to find out, and
| be ready to share your ideas so we can help
| make KDE the best it can be.
