KDE Software Compilation 4.4.4 Release Announcement

,----[ Quote ]
| June 1st, 2010. Today, KDE has released a 
| new version of the KDE Software Compilation 
| (KDE SC). This month's edition of KDE SC is a 
| bugfix and translation update to KDE SC 4.4. 
| KDE SC 4.4.4 is a recommended update for 
| everyone running KDE SC 4.4.3 or earlier 
| versions. As the release only contains 
| bugfixes and translation updates, it will be 
| a safe and pleasant update for everyone. 
| Users around the world will appreciate that 
| KDE SC 4.4.4 multi-language support is more 
| complete. KDE SC 4 is already translated into 
| more than 50 languages, with more to come.

New In KDE Partition Manager 1.1 (VI): The Fine Print In the Feature List

,----[ Quote ]
| Thereâs still more. Like full KIO support in 
| all file dialogs. Or performance improvements 
| in the GUI and the backend code. Or support 
| for setting volume labels on FAT32 file 
| systems. Or fully tested support for devices 
| with more than 2^31 sectors. Orâ
| 
| You get the idea. In any case, I hope youâll 
| agree that KDE Partition Manager 1.1 is going 
| to rock.
| 
| This concludes part six in a sequence of 
| entries presenting some of the new features 
| of the soon-to-be-finished KDE Partition 
| Manager 1.1. The previous parts were:
| 
|    1. Mount Management
|    2. SMART Status Reports
|    3. Support For 4096-Byte Sectors
|    4. Improved Size Dialog
|    5. Options Galore

New In KDE Partition Manager 1.1 (V): Options Galore

,----[ Quote ]
| Another new feature in KDE Partition Manager 
| 1.1 is the ability to âshredâ partitions when 
| deleting them. Unlike when just deleting a 
| partition (which basically means its entry in 
| the partition table is deleted but the data 
| remains on disk for the time being, until it 
| is eventually overwritten with something 
| else) this will actually overwrite the data 
| before the partition is removed from the 
| partition table.

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.
