The KDE Project announced the immediate availability of KDE 3.5.3. Unusually for a maintenance release, new features were implemented due to the long release cycle of the eagerly-awaited KDE 4. Significant enhancements include an improved startup time, speedups in KHTML, over 800 minor issues fixed, small new features and new translations.

It's nice that they softened the feature freeze while they are working on KDE 4. The boot speed improvements should help everybody, and it seems that other apps have been modestly improved as well. From what I read on their mailing lists it seem that the policy is: 'If it has already received wide testing in a major distro, AND If a couple of devs sign off on it, AND there are no big objections, AND if it is before string/language freeze' then it can go in to 3.5.x. (Sorry if I fudged the details, I'm working from memory here.) I congratulate the KDE developers on this pragmatic approach because it gives all of us users something to chew on before KDE 4.
So thanks!
