KDE We're really in a KDE/GNOME mood today, it would seem. The KDE team has released the second maintenance release for the KDE 4.2 series, KDE 4.2.2. The three biggest improvements in this release are stability fixes in KRunner, performance enhancements in KMail, and bugfixes, performance improvements and optimization in KHTML. As always, this release will find it way to your distributor of choice soon enough, but if you're impatient, you can always build it yourself.

Mod me down if you want, but I need to say that I won't even try KDE 4. It's about time to finish the laugh KDE devs took on us by releasing unpolished and alpha software.


Open source is all about releasing alpha at some point. That distros screwed it all actually replacing a perfectly functional KDE 3 desktop with the yet to be finished KDE 4 is entirely their fault. That end users choose to install KDE 4 even knowing beforehand it's not complete and then crying the amazonas, well, what can I tell you.

Highly an evidence that KDE is not a serious project.


Upgrading to a better technology is being serious. Otherwise we would be still with the Athena widgets.

The article about GNOME today was very very insightful, when said that it will use heavy developed and stable technologies, unlike the unforgettable fiasco played out by the QT lovers.


There's been years of talk and talk and endless talk about gnome 3 and topaz and lots of projects that started and have never been finished trying to implement the next gnome desktop. Yet they continue to improve and build new things. So you can't be serious with that "unforgettable fiasco" about KDE, like if KDE was not under heavy development.
