+ KDE Community Delivers Incremental Innovations With New KDE 4.3 Release +

+ +

+ + KDE 4.3 (Codename: "Caizen") Delivers Incremental Innovations to the Free Desktop Users and Software Developers + +

+ +

+6 August, 2009. The KDE Community today announces the immediate availability of "Caizen", (a.k.a KDE 4.3), bringing many improvements to the user experience and development platform. KDE 4.3 continues to refine the unique features brought in previous releases while bringing new innovations. With the 4.2 release aimed at the majority of end users, KDE 4.3 offers a more stable and complete product for the home and small office. +

+

+ The KDE community has fixed over 10,000 bugs and implemented almost 2,000 feature requests in the last 6 months. Close to 63,000 changes were checked in by a little under 700 contributors. Read on for an overview of the changes in the KDE 4.3 Desktop Workspace, Application Suites and the KDE 4.3 Development Platform. +

+The KDE 4.3 Desktop
+ +

+ Desktop Improves Performance And Usability +

+
+

+ The KDE Desktop Workspace provides a powerful and complete desktop experience that features excellent integration with Linux and UNIX operating systems. The key components that make up the KDE Desktop Workspace include: +

+Below you can find a short list of improvements to the KDE Desktop Workspace. + +

+

+ Applications Leap Forward +

+

+A great number of sophisticated applications are provided by the KDE community which take full advantage of the powerful KDE Application Framework. A selection of these applications are included in the KDE Software Distribution, divided up by category into various Application Suites. These include: +

+ +

+Together they form a comprehensive set of desktop essentials that run on most modern operating systems. Below you will find a selection of improvements to some of these Application Suites. +

+

+ Platform Accelerates Development +

+

+The KDE community brings many innovations for application developers to the forefront in the KDE Application Framework. Building on the strengths of Nokia's Qt library, this integrated and consistent framework has been crafted in direct response to the needs of real-world application developers. +

+

+The KDE Application Framework helps developers create robust applications efficiently by streamlining the complexity and tedious tasks usually associated with application development. Its use by KDE applications provides a compelling showcase for its flexibility and utility. +

+

+Liberally licensed under the LGPL (allowing for both proprietary and open source development) and cross-platform (Linux, UNIX, Mac and MS Windows), it contains among other things a powerful component model (KParts), network transparent data access (KIO) and flexible configuration management. Dozens of useful widgets ranging from file dialogs to font selectors are provided and the framework also offers semantic search integration (Nepomuk), hardware awareness (Solid) and multimedia access (Phonon). Read on for a list of improvements to the KDE Application Framework. +

+Social desktop and other online services in action
+ +

+ Spread the Word and See What Happens +

+

+The KDE Community encourages everybody to spread the word on the Social Web. +Submit stories to news sites, use channels like delicious, digg, reddit, twitter, +identi.ca. Upload screenshots to services like Facebook, FlickR, +ipernity and Picasa and post them to appropriate groups. Create screencasts and +upload them to YouTube, Blip.tv, Vimeo and others. Do not forget to tag uploaded +material with the tag kde so it is easier for everybody to find the +material, and for the KDE team to compile reports of coverage for the KDE 4.3 +announcement. Help us spreading the word, be part of it!

+ +

+You can follow what is happening around the KDE 4.3 release on the social web live on +the brand-new KDE Community livefeed. This site aggregates what happens on +identi.ca, twitter, youtube, flickr, picasaweb, blogs and many other social networking sites +in real-time. The livefeed can be found on buzz.kde.org. +
