+        Plasma optionally acts as <strong>traditional, file manager-like desktop</strong>.
+        Previews for the file icons and persistant locations of icons have been added. <br />
+        The Plasma Panel <strong>now groups tasks</strong> and display multiple rows. The
+        enhanced system tray now <strong>tracks longer running
+        tasks</strong> such as downloads. System and application
+        <strong>notifications</strong> are displayed in a unified fashion via the system tray.
+        To save space, system tray icons can now be hidden. The panel can now
+        <strong>automatically hide</strong> in order to free up screen space. Widgets can
+        be displayed in panels as well as on the desktop.<br />

+        KWin offers smooth and efficient window management. In KDE 4.2 it employs
+        <strong>motion physics</strong> to give a natural feel to old and <strong>new
+        effects</strong> like the "Cube" and "Magic Lamp". KWin only enables desktop
+        effects in the default setup on computers that are able to handle them.
+        <strong>Easier configuration</strong> allows the user to select different
+        effects as window switcher, making changing windows most efficient.
+        </p>

+    <li>
+        <p align="justify">
+        New and improved workspace tools increase productivity. PowerDevil supports
+        mobile life by bringing modern and unobtrusive <strong>power management</strong>
+        to laptops and mobile devices. Ark offers smart <strong>extraction and
+        creation</strong> of archives, and the new printer tools allow the user to easily
+        <strong>manage printers</strong> and print jobs.
+        </p>
+    </li>
+</ul>
+Moreover, support for several new languages have been added expanding the
+number of users for whom KDE is available in their native language by
+roughly 700 millions. Newly supported languages include are Arabic,
+Icelandic, Basque, Hebrew, Romanian, Tajik and
+several Indian languages (Bengali India, Gujarati, Kannada,
+Maithili, Marathi) indicating a surge of popularity on this
+part of Asia.

+<h3>
+    Applications Leap Forward
+</h3>
+<p align="justify">
+<ul>
+    <li>
+        <p align="justify">
+        File management becomes faster and more efficient. The Dolphin file manager now
+        has a slider to easily <strong>adjust the icon size</strong>.
+        Further user interface improvements include <strong>tooltips with
+        previews</strong> and a capacity indicator for removable media devices. These
+        changes have also been applied to the <strong>file dialogs</strong> in KDE, making
+        it easier to spot the right file.
+        </p>
+    </li>
+    <li>
+        <p align="justify">
+        KMails email list views have been reworked by a Google Summer of Code student.
+        The user can now configure the <strong>display of additional information</strong>
+        optimizing the workflow for each individual folder. Support for <strong>IMAP and
+        other protocols</strong> has also been improved making KMail much faster.
+        </p>
+    </li>
+    <li>
+        <p align="justify">
+        Webbrowsing becomes better. The Konqueror web browser improves support for
+        <strong>scalable vector graphics</strong> and receives many performance
+        enhancements. A <strong>new find dialog</strong> makes for less intrusive searching
+        inside webpages. Konqueror now <strong>shows your bookmarks</strong> on start-up.
+        </p>

+    Platform Accelerates Development
+</h3>
+<p align="justify">
+<ul>
+    <li>
+        <p align="justify">
+        <strong>Enhanced Scripting Support</strong>. Plasma widgets can now be written
+        in JavaScript, Python and Ruby. These widgets can be distributed online via
+        web-services and online collaboration tools such as OpenDesktop.org.
+        GoogleGadgets can be used in Plasma, and support for Mac OS X dashboard
+        widgets has been further improved.
+        </p>

+    <li>
+        <p align="justify">
+        Technology previews of various KDE applications for <strong>Windows</strong> and
+        <strong>Mac OS X</strong> are available, some applications are nearing release
+        quality already, while others need some work depending on the functionality they
+        implement. Support for OpenSolaris is upcoming and
+        approaching stable quality. KDE4 on FreeBSD continues to mature.
+        </p>
+    </li>
+    <li>
+        <p align="justify">
+        After Qt will be released under the terms of the <strong>LGPL</strong>, both
+        the KDE libraries and beneath it Qt are available under those more relaxed
+        licensing terms, making for a more compelling platform for commercial
+        software development.
