KDE 2.2 Released

Posted by Hemos on from the come-and-get-it dept.

Well, we had covered it being tagged last week, and now, after a hardware problem with one of the main download servers, KDE is ready for download. Except that you'll probably want to go to the mirrors to actually get it. You can get more about it about it from Dre's dot.kde post, or you can read the KDE announcement - and have a good time!

    Will Windows or Slashcode make an overheating harddrive not crash, or faulty RAM not fault? I don't think so. And your 50% uptime is a gross misrepresentation of the facts.

    Let's not mix issues and problems without knowing the whole story. I am getting a lot of heat from people making complaints, most of them are happy to wax poetic without knowing the full facts or carefully considering the options. It's kinda tiring.

    About Zope and Squishdot, we are working out the issues with helpful suggestions from the Zope guys. As for Slashcode, I will look at it one day when I have time. You might be surprised to learn that dot.kde.org is not my full-time job. So tell me if you know anything about how to move to Slashcode *and* still preserve backward compatibility with all the sites and documentation that link to dot.kde.org resources.

    Twist some arms and get C++ apps to load faster. Konqueror takes 18 seconds or more, and I'm pretty sure most of it is accounted for by resolving function addresses for every object with virtual functions.

    Fixed. Get the glibc, binutils and prelink packages from the current Red Hat Linux beta, and run prelink --all.
